Scans and investigations

Booking your scans or tests with Spire can provide an early warning of health problems, help your doctor to identify and monitor conditions or rule them out. Once you’ve had your test, an expert member of Spire’s team can provide a diagnosis and advise on the most appropriate treatment if this is necessary.

In 2021, we've invested in a new state-of-the-art MRI scanner which allows us to increase the type of tests we can offer and conditions we can diagnose. We can now offer cardiac imaging to assess damage to heart muscles, inspect heart valves for leaks and check for infection or inflammation.

Together with a refurbished radiography department, we've made improvements to the experience for our patients:

• The new scanner has a wide bore which can help reduce feelings of claustrophobia
• Scans can be performed more quickly so patents will not need to keep still for a long period of time
• The radiography department has been redesigned and features relaxing mood lighting, a headset for listening to music and podcasts and a communication system allowing you to speak with the radiographer
