Ultrasound is a safe medical imaging method, which uses high frequency sound waves to create pictures (sonograms) of the joints, soft tissues, organs and blood vessels.
Starting from £180
CT scans can be used to detect, locate and monitor diseases and abnormalities in the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis and blood vessels, and to assess bones, joints and fractures.
Starting from £360
Our full body scan service offers a preventative screening of the brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and key blood vessels, to look for abnormalities as early as possible.
