Imaging modalities

Focussed on the needs of patients

Our centres deliver a world-class service, focussed clearly on the needs of patients. We use a broad range of the latest scanning equipment, expertly operated and maintained and offering fast, accurate imaging.

We offer these imaging modalities:

• MRI and cardiac MRI - the preferred investigation choice and applicable to all areas of the body.
• CT - complementary to MRI, giving fast and unambiguous diagnosis of a variety of conditions.
• PET/CT - combining these two techniques gives images illustrating active pathology and anatomical location of astonishing clarity.
• X-ray - our expert Radiographers provide professional X-ray services at a number of state-of-the-art centres.
• Ultrasound - with consistent technological improvements, this modality is now used throughout the body for imaging almost every soft tissue area..
• Bone densitometry or DEXA - with short scanning times and low X-ray doses, this sensitive equipment can help identify risk of osteoporosis earlier than ever before.
• Digital mammogram - digital mammograms can see through dense tissue better than conventional technologies.

• Fluoroscopy - this method of scanning reduces the patient’s radiation dose and allows areas of the body to be examined in all directions.
• Uroflowmetry
 - a straightforward procedure that’s very useful in the diagnosis of certain urinary conditions.
• Urodynamics - this technique can be very helpful in determining the causes of incontinence and bladder obstruction.
