With the recent expansion of the Imaging Centre, the hospital is now able to offer a fully in-house service providing a comprehensive range of scans and tests to examine any part of the body, inside and out.
The department now features a new Philips Ingenia 1.5T MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner, installed in June 2017. The scanner assists with the diagnosis and monitoring of many different medical conditions in every part of the body, including bones, soft tissue and the brain. The scanner's advanced technology allows for a more pleasant 'in-bore' experience through reduced noise, video projected on the back wall, elevated comfort and a wider bore. Examination times are shorter and clear, accurate images are achieved first time.
The CT (computerised tomography) scanner; installed in 2014, is a state-of-the-art, 160 slice, scanner, able to perform various general examinations including chest, abdomen, pelvis, head, heart and spinal scans.
The Imaging Centre also provides X-rays, ultrasound and barium enema and meal procedures.
Digital Mammography
The hospital offers a digital mammography imaging service which completes the range of imaging services available. For more information about our range of tests and scans available or to book an appointment, please contact the Spire South Bank Hospital Imaging Department on 01905 362 223.
Why choose the Imaging Centre?
Patients not only benefit from some of the best imaging technology in the region, but also from the advantages of a private hospital setting. On-site car parking is free, next day appointments are available and personal service is paramount. The scanners are set in light and spacious rooms to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Longer appointment times allow our highly trained and qualified radiographers more time to spend with patients so they are totally at ease before their procedure. Our consultant radiologists will guide patients through the entire experience and will report their clinical findings to the referring consultant or GP.
Are scans and investigations for you?
Information is power when it comes to healthcare. Scans and investigations help your GP or consultant confirm a diagnosis, monitor a particular condition or give you peace of mind. This means you can begin or change treatment at the right time. If you’re feeling run-down or you have a family history of a genetic condition, tests can also offer reassurance or provide an early warning of health problems. Having the information is the first step towards reclaiming control of your health. Advances in technology and medical research mean that the number of scans and investigations that help keep you healthy or diagnose disease is growing all the time.
