The Value Of Medical Imaging
We can all think of medical imaging as an add on, or precursor to treatment. The reality is that without imaging, that treatment often wouldn’t happen, or be carried out blind.
X-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans are probably responsible for saving more lives and avoiding more serious illness than any field you could think of. A true miracle of science.
They will often be used for diagnosis but can assist in guiding surgery, giving injections, or removing unwanted growths,
This is why our hospital chooses to have every imaging facility in house. Delay is avoided, which can be vital, treatment is more accurate and successful.
Our amazing team of consultant radiologists help to ensure this. Through their knowledge and care, along with their ability to understand the needs of patients, or colleagues.
