Medical Imaging
An MRI scan at LivingCare can be used to examine the bones, joints and neurological issues.
The results of an MRI scan can be used to help diagnose conditions, plan treatments and assess how effective previous treatment has been. The machine uses a magnetic field and radio waves, together with an advanced computer system to build up a series of images, each one showing a thin slice of the area being examined. These images are very detailed and can show both bones and soft tissues in the body and can provide a great deal of information.
Cardiac Screening
We can undertake ECG and work with partners to provide a full cardiac assessment. Depending on what you or your players require. An ECG analyses the electrical activity of the heart. It diagnoses any abnormalities. Measurements are taken from various parts of the body by using leads.
