“Two clinics had told me different things. The report here was the first one that explained the images in a way I coul…” Olivia G.

“Will need an MRI test to complete my diagnosis and was informed of this by Mr Patel and advised as to what to do next…” June

“They found what two other clinics missed, and arranged the follow-up themselves.” Marcus B.

When a second opinion helps

Validating, not alarming

People ask for a second reading of their imaging for very ordinary reasons. All of these are good ones.

01

An unclear or worrying result

The report used words you did not understand, or left you more anxious than informed.

02

Conflicting advice

Two clinicians have told you different things and you want an independent view.

03

Before consenting to surgery or treatment

A second reading of the imaging before a big decision.

04

Scanned abroad

You have images and a report in another language or from a system you cannot easily follow up.

05

You simply want certainty

A specialist eye on a scan that was reported by a generalist.

What you receive

A report you can actually read

What you receive: an extract from a real report, anonymised. Your report also comes with a plain-English summary and the option of a call with the consultant who wrote it.

Harley Street Ultrasound Group · Second opinion reportExtract · patient details removed
Study reviewed
MRI right knee, performed elsewhere, 14 July 2026. Original report and images reviewed independently.
Findings
The anterior cruciate ligament is intact. A small horizontal tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus is present, without displacement. Mild joint effusion. No bone marrow oedema.
Impression
Degenerative medial meniscal tear. The findings do not indicate surgical treatment at this stage.
Recommendation
Physiotherapy-led rehabilitation for 8–12 weeks. If pain persists, an ultrasound-guided injection may be considered; we can arrange this. Repeat imaging is not required unless symptoms change.

Every report has these four parts, in this order, in plain English, and ends with what to do next.

Who reviews your imaging

Matched to the right specialist, every time

Second opinions are not read by whoever is free. Each case goes to a consultant radiologist whose subspecialty matches the scan, musculoskeletal, breast, head and neck, body or urological, all holding NHS consultant posts at London teaching hospitals.

Before you submit

What to gather

Gather what you have

The images (disc, USB or portal export), the original report, and any letters from the clinician who requested the scan.

Write down your question

The more specific the better: “Is surgery really necessary?” gets a more useful answer than “Please review.”

Check the images are complete

A disc should contain the full series, not just a few pictures. If in doubt, send it anyway. We will tell you.

Consent

We only review imaging that is yours or that you have authority to share.

Questions, answered

What people ask before this review

Anything else? Call 0203 904 4441, a real person answers, and a clinician can call you back.

What formats can you accept?

DICOM is ideal and is what every scanner produces. Most clinics can give you a disc or a download link. We also accept JPEG or PDF exports, although a full DICOM series allows a more thorough review.

How long does it take?

Five working days from receiving complete images. An urgent 48-hour review is available for an additional fee.

Will you talk to my doctor?

With your permission, yes. We send the report to any clinician you name, and our consultants are happy to discuss findings with them directly.

My scan was done abroad: is that a problem?

Not at all. DICOM is universal. If the original report is in another language, include it anyway; our consultant reads the images independently.

What if you disagree with the original report?

We say so, clearly and respectfully, and explain why. Disagreement is not unusual: it is the reason second opinions exist, and the report sets out what you should do about it.
