How much does a private X-ray cost in the UK?
Lowest advertised X-ray price
The lowest figure the operator advertises for any X-ray, scan unspecified. A floor; never put in a range.
This is not one bookable product, so no range is given. Each figure is named with exactly what it covers. Lowest published starting price: £70 (Oryon Imaging).

Reading these prices
- Operators are listed alphabetically within each scan; the order is not a ranking.
- “Starting price” means the operator printed a “from” figure: the floor of its prices, not the price of a particular scan. Starting prices never enter a range.
- A range needs fixed prices from 4 operators for the same scan; the median uses one figure per operator.
- Operators checked: 360 Med, Cobalt Health, Oryon Imaging, Scan.com and Vista Health. The full list, including those whose pages could not be read, is on the private scans hub.
X-ray on the NHS
NHS waiting times for an X-ray, beside private hospital prices, are on the X-ray: NHS vs private page.
Prices only. Which scan you need, and whether you need one, is a clinical question for a doctor or the referring clinician. Some operators ask for a referral, or run their own clinical check, before a scan is booked. TreatCompare does not take bookings.
