Diagnostic Imaging

We have a state of the art X-ray suite where we can perform a wide range of examinations. We provide flexible appointments to fit in with your availability including evening appointments.

We will ensure that you images are reported by an experienced Consultant Radiologist, a report will then be sent back to your referring clinician so there is no delaying you receiving your results. 

Diagnostic Ultrasounds use high frequency sound waves to produce images of various soft tissue structures within the body. No ionising radiation is involved and there are no reported side effects for this procedure. The Consultant Radiologist or experienced Sonographer will apply gel to the skin of the area examined and images will appear on a monitor. The ultrasound report will be sent to the doctor who referred within 1-3 days, if there are any urgent findings we will notify you doctor the same day.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an invaluable tool in the detection and monitoring of many diseases. It uses a combination of strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body, without the risk of ionising radiation, and minimum discomfort to you. MRI can assist your Consultant to plan your surgery. 

At Huddersfield Private Hospital we have a mobile MRI scanning unit capable of scanning all parts of the body producing high quality resolution scans. With appointments available weekly, you can be seen at a time that suits you.

A CT scan is a special type of x-ray test that takes 'slice' pictures of organs and structures in the body. For some scans you'll be given an injection in your arm of a contrast agent or 'radio-opaque' dye. This enables the Radiologist to visualise the anatomy more clearly.

You will be made comfortable on the scanning table. The Radiographer will explain exactly what to expect as this can vary from examination to examination. The table will be moved into the scanner with the part of the body being scanned moved into the middle of the scanner.

CT Scans available:

• CT Head and Sinuses
• CT Neck
• CT Chest
• CT Chest, abdomen and pelvis
• CT Abdomen and pelvis
• CT Renal characterisation
• CT Musculoskeletal/Joints
