There are many different scans that can be undertaken, and you may have been referred by your doctor for one or more of these scans to support diagnosis and decisions for any required treatment.
The scan(s) you are referred for will be dependent on the symptoms you have presented to the doctor, as each scan offers a different type of image, so you doctor will request based on what they think is the best option.
On occasions, the request may be changed to another type of scan, or cancelled if the Radiologist (a specialist in medical imaging) believes the requested scan will not provide the detail required for diagnosis. If this occurs our team will ensure you are updated.
More details on each of the scans / interventions undertaken by the radiology team at LTHT are available via the links below:
