Your First Visit

What to expect

On arrival, our radiographers will explain the scan you are having and answer any questions about the procedure. Most scans are completed within the appointment slot booked, and your images are reviewed by a specialist radiologist, with a written report sent to your referring physician, typically followed by a discussion of results at your next consultation.

Before You Arrive

Patient preparation

  • Follow any fasting or hydration instructions provided when your scan was booked.
  • Inform reception of any metal implants, a pacemaker, or possible pregnancy before an MRI or CT scan.
  • Wear clothing without metal fastenings where possible, or be prepared to change into a gown.
  • Bring your referral details and any previous imaging for comparison.
