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 unveiled a new X-ray machine which will provide quicker results, with greater comfort, for NHS and private patients requiring diagnosis and treatment.

We'll be able to carry out more X-rays per day and other benefits of the new equipment include:

• Images taken and processed in as little as five seconds, compared with one minute
• The best quality image that any digital X-ray equipment can currently produce
• The ability to take full length spine and leg images, which is key for spinal and orthopaedic surgeons when planning complex surgery
