Imaging

We operate one of the largest imaging centres in the country

Offering a personalised service using the latest scanning technology

We offer medical imaging and diagnostic services, ranging from routine x-rays to specialist scans and interventional procedures such as angioplasties, as well as medical imaging.

Cardiac imaging

Our award-winning cardiac imaging service is one of the largest units of its kind in Europe.

Cardiac imaging uses CT and MRI scans of the heart to diagnose various conditions.

Our dedicated team are committed to providing an excellent level of service, using research to develop the latest techniques.

The service, which is regularly audited to maintain high standards of care, calls on the support of our world-leading consultant cardiologists.

For patients

We offer a range of services

In a caring environment

We know that coming into hospital for an x-ray or scan can be daunting.

Every procedure is different but you’ll be kept fully informed of what is going to happen before, during and after the tests.

We use advanced technology that enables x-rays and scans to be stored electronically and viewed on a computer monitor rather than on a lightbox, helping to improve both the quality and speed of your treatment.

Please note: if you are diabetic, particularly if you take Metformin, please let us know in advance so that we can make special arrangements.
