How Does Block Booking Work for Clinics?
Block booking for standing EOS imaging at ScanAlign is available on enquiry. It is for clinics, practices and sports teams that refer several patients to us in London. Each package depends on scan type, volume commitment and term length. The price for patients travelling from abroad is confirmed during the free video consultation.

You may run a musculoskeletal clinic, a physiotherapy practice, a chiropractic clinic or a sports medicine team. If so, you probably refer patients for imaging on a regular basis. Block booking makes it simpler to arrange your patients' standing EOS scans at ScanAlign, standing EOS imaging in London, with easier scheduling and one combined invoice.
Who is block booking designed for?
Block booking is for any healthcare professional or organisation that regularly refers patients for diagnostic imaging. It is not limited to one specialty.
Alignment baselines before treatment, and progress checks.
Planning before surgery and follow-up imaging after surgery.
Squad or group bookings for pre-season screening.
Full-body standing views to guide manual therapy programmes.
If you are not yet set up to refer, you can register to refer patients in a few minutes.
How does the block booking process work?
The process is simple. You tell us what you need, and we build a package around your referral pattern.
Get in touch
Send us an estimate of how many patients you refer each month or each quarter. Tell us which scan types you usually need, such as spine, lower limb or full body.
Receive a tailored plan
We send you a clear plan based on your volume, scan types and preferred term length. The price for patients travelling from abroad is confirmed during the free video consultation.
Schedule your patients
Book single appointments through your own scheduling link. Or send us a group list and we arrange the slots for you.
Reports delivered, one combined invoice
Each patient receives a full standing alignment report. You receive one monthly invoice for all scans in that period.
What is included in a block booking package?
Every block booking package includes the scan itself and the clinical report. The items below come as part of every package.
Full alignment report
A detailed standing alignment assessment prepared by a specialist diagnostic radiographer.
Flexible scheduling
Book patients one by one, or send a group list for batch scheduling.
One combined invoice
One clear monthly invoice for all scans, rather than a separate bill for each patient.
Low radiation imaging
EOS uses about 90% less radiation than a standard X-ray, around ten times less.
The price of a single EOS scan for patients travelling from abroad is confirmed during the free video consultation.
Why would a clinic choose standing EOS imaging over standard X-rays?
Standing EOS imaging captures the skeleton under natural load. This shows alignment problems that lying-down scans can miss. When a patient lies on a table, the muscles relax and gravity is removed. Subtle pelvic tilts, leg-length differences and compensatory curves can disappear from the image.
For your patients, this means more clinically useful information from one visit. The body is a connected chain from the feet to the head. A problem in one area, such as a hip tilt, can cause compensation elsewhere. The pain your patient reports may be far from the true source. Standing whole-body imaging captures that full picture.
Before a patient starts treatment, or changes the one they are on, a detailed diagnosis is worth having. Knowing whether the cause sits in the pelvis, the legs or the spine changes what will actually help.
A note on soft-tissue imaging. EOS shows bones, joints and alignment beautifully. For soft tissue, discs or nerves, MRI is usually the better tool. Many referring clinicians use both. A standing EOS scan maps the structural alignment, and an MRI, if needed, looks at specific soft-tissue concerns.
