European Scanning Centre
The European Scanning Centre has established itself as an internationally renowned diagnostic imaging centre.
The ESC has developed a reputation for providing a high quality and professional imaging service dedicated to the needs and comfort of both patients and medical practitioners. Building upon this success in London’s world famous Harley Street, the ESC has expanded to open a centre in Manchester and in Cardiff.
The Manchester Centre at Kingsley Hall, close to Manchester Airport, has been carefully designed with patient comfort at the forefront with a warm and welcoming reception area and staff who have been specially chosen for their ability to put patients at ease.


More About Our Centre
“Just to say a huge thank you to all the staff there this afternoon, whilst I had my scan. Their calm, cool, professionalism is most heartwarming to someone who suffers with Claustrophobia. The Open MRI is a completely relaxing. Well done, everyone”
Our MRI scanning room is spacious and calming with wall and ceiling relax-vision panels to increase the open feeling of the room. Whilst being scanned, you are able to watch television, listen to music or the radio, or if it helps you relax, you are welcome to bring your music of choice. We are very happy for a relative or friend to accompany you into the scan room if this helps alleviate any anxiety.
Two way audio facilities allow our radiographers to communicate and reassure patients during their scan and the viewing window ensures that both the patient and the radiographer are always in the line of vision.
We genuinely understand the anxiety that the thought of an MRI scan produces but we are confident that we can help you through the experience, in fact we wouldn’t be surprised if you were so relaxed you fell asleep – many of our patients do!
Our radiographers ensure that your MRI experience is as comfortable as possible and your scan will be reported by the region’s leading Consultant Radiologists.
