At Woodlands, we have a wide-bore MRI scanner on-site which aids in diagnosis across a number of specialties, including:

An MRI scan is non-invasive and uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the inside of your body. Our wide-bore MRI scanner is operated by one of our radiographers who are specially trained in operating these machines. They will control the scanner from a different room, and you will be able to speak to them through an intercom system so you are never alone during the scan.

It is normal for the scanner to make some loud noises, but we can offer you earplugs to use to help block out the noise.

We have a mobile CT scanner which is on-site every Thursday.

Some of the CT scans available at Woodlands Hospital include:

  • Head
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Pelvis
  • Joints
  • Spine

Within our on-site private imaging facilities is our ultrasound scanner.

This is a technique that uses high-frequency waves to create images. These can be of internal organs, soft tissues or blood vessels, and allow the team to see what's going on inside the body. During an ultrasound scan, the probe can be used both outside the body, or internally. For example, the probe may be inserted via the mouth, vagina or rectum, depending on each individual's needs.

There are a number of ultrasound scans available. At Woodlands, we can offer patients:

  • Diagnostic ultrasound
  • Ultrasound guidance

Within these, we offer ultrasounds for a wide variety of areas, including:

  • Musculoskeletal (joints)
  • Gynaecological
  • Abdomen
  • Pelvis
  • General

    Dr Raju, Kelly & Jill were simply fabulous. They were professional, pleasant, approachable and at the same time kept the vibes light-hearted & cheerful. The procedure was carried out smoothly and the aftercare was great. The personal attention and care made me feel comfortable and looked after.
