MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a strong magnet and radiofrequency energy to produce images in any plane through the body. MRI pictures show the soft tissues of the body, muscles, nerves, brain, discs, ligaments and cartilage. During the scan, you will by lying inside the tunnel of the scanner. The MRI will make some loud tapping noises during the exam so earplugs or headphones can be provided. Music can also be provided during the scan, if you wish.
An X-ray (radiograph) involves using a small dose of radiation to produce pictures of bones and other internal tissues, such as lungs and bowel. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white.

Common reasons for Ultrasound scanning include investigations of a person’s abdominal and pelvic organs, musculoskeletal and vascular systems, and to check foetal development during pregnancy.

An Echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart, using a machine very similar to that used for pregnancy ultrasound. We are able to assess heart muscle and valve function, as well as check for congenital problems, such as “hole in the heart”. We perform studies on patients of all ages from newborn onwards.
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a procedure where stickers and wires are attached to the chest and an electrical heart tracing is produced. An ECG is a non-invasive, painless and safe procedure that doesn’t require any preparation.
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is performed where a cap is fitted to your head and gel squirted through holes in the cap to touch your skin – the electrical activity of your brain is recorded.
