Radiology

Here at the SMTC Radiology Department, we pride ourselves on providing premium quality medical imaging services to both patients and referring clinicians. We have invested heavily in state-of-the-art imaging technology, and our Department is staffed by highly experienced Radiographers and Radiologists. Our services include: MRI, X-rays and Ultrasound.

For all external imaging referrals, we are committed to:

seeing patients within 48 hours of referral.
providing a Consultant Radiologist Report within 24 hours of completion of all imaging studies.

We welcome referrals from clinicians operating in both the NHS and Independent Healthcare Sectors.

What is an MRI?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive way to take pictures of the body. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, which use radiation, MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves. The MRI scanner contains the magnet.

What is an X-ray?

X-rays are high-energy radiation. They are able to create an image on a photographic film or plate. It is this property that allows radiography.

What is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound are high-frequency sound waves. Ultrasound waves can be ‘bounced off’ human tissues using special devices. The echoes are then converted into a picture called a sonogram. Ultrasound imaging, referred to as ultrasonography, allows doctors and patients to get an inside view of soft tissues and body cavities, without using invasive techniques.
