Scans and X-rays are a diagnostic procedure used to get more information about bones, joints, and certain medical conditions in a quick and painless way. They can also show changes to tissues and organs that help in the diagnosis of serious medical conditions. Scans and X-rays are usually used to help diagnose:
Arthritis | Bone cancer | Bone fractures and infections | Breaks or Injuries | | Breast Cancer | Certain heart problems | Fluid in the lungs or lung cancer | Osteoporosis | Swallowed objects or obstructed digestive tract
Although your NHS GP may refer you for scans or X-rays, depending on your condition you may have to wait a long time for an appointment or results. If you would like to fast-track your scan, get in touch today or book a consultation with one of our GPs.
When you book a consultation with one of our doctors, we will spend time listening to you, carrying out any relevant examinations, and asking questions to make sure we have all the information we need before referring you for the right scans or X-ray. We will help you make an appointment for the relevant scan and talk you through your results and any relevant diagnosis or treatment.
We understand that while you are awaiting results, any time of testing or diagnosis can be stressful. We will do everything we can to put your mind at ease and make sure you have all the information you need and are comfortable. We will also make sure that your tests are done quickly and accurately so that you can have your results as soon as possible.
Please note, our GP will only refer you for a scan or x-ray if they believe it is in your best interest.
