Scanning is the catch-all term for various medical imaging techniques we use to create detailed pictures of your body's internal structures and functions. These non-invasive procedures help us detect, diagnose, and keep an eye on conditions. They also help us guide further treatment. According to the NHS, 45 million imaging tests are taken annually in England alone, and the number is rising annually.
From routine examinations to complex investigations, LivingCare delivers advanced private imaging services across our Leeds and Sheffield locations, ensuring swift access to answers and treatments for your health concerns. You'll find our radiologists combine a wealth of experience with first-class training, so they can precisely interpret the images they take.
The specialist imaging team at LivingCare are well equipped with cutting-edge technology, helping them deliver accurate diagnoses and exceptional patient care. Our investment in state-of-the-art equipment, including 3T MRI scanners and advanced CT technology, means you benefit from more detailed and precise images, often leading to the earlier detection of potential issues. Modern techniques can also mean faster scanning times and at lower doses of radiation when it’s needed for a particular scan.
Waiting for diagnostic imaging can cause anxiety and often delays treatment, we offer same-day appointments and rapid access to procedures. You don't have to wait weeks for answers.
Your journey with LivingCare's imaging team begins with a comprehensive consultation where we'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and concerns. If you need a referral for private medical insurance, our Private GP service can provide this efficiently – there's no need to return to your NHS GP for paperwork that could delay your care.
