MRI scan rights?
I'm not sure if this question really ought to go in this section but I thought someone with a knowledge of the law might be able to help me. I had an MRI scan on the NHS last month and have since decided to go private as I will have to wait months to see a consultant on the NHS. The private doctor wants to see the MRI scan pictures but the hospital are refusing to hand them over. Do I have any right to take these pictures elsewhere or do they remain the property of the hospital. Thank you in advance.

TO have a repeat CT spiral scan for example involves a appreciable x ray dose 24 to 36 Chest X ray's worth.
If you mean, can you have the original without charge, then No you can only have copies and there may be a charge. Because the originals are digital, there is no diminution in quality from repeated copying
