MRI — Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The gold standard for soft tissue assessment. Uses magnetic fields and radio waves — no ionising radiation. Essential for pelvic, neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiac and cancer imaging.
CT — Computed Tomography
Rapid, highly detailed cross-sectional imaging using X-ray technology. Excellent for chest, abdomen, pelvis, vascular and oncological investigations.
Ultrasound
Safe, radiation-free real-time imaging using high-frequency sound waves. Used widely for abdominal organs, gynaecology, thyroid, vascular assessment and musculoskeletal soft tissues.
X-ray — Plain Radiography
Fast, high-quality digital plain radiography for the skeleton, chest and abdomen. Reported only by a Consultant Radiologist — unlike many other healthcare settings.
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a specialist form of X-ray imaging that produces moving, real-time images. A contrast material is used to outline parts of the digestive or urinary tract that are not clearly visible on ordinary X-rays.
Every scan is personally reported by a named Consultant Radiologist. We do not use registrars, radiographers, or remote / outsourced reporting services to report your images. The Bristol Medical Imaging consultant whose name is on your report reviewed your scan.
Please note — areas we do not cover: We do not provide imaging of the breast and neurological imaging (CT or MRI of the head). Whilst we perform general radiology including reading and reporting plain film musculoskeletal X-rays (such as the spine, shoulder, and knee), we do not provide musculoskeletal CT or MRI imaging. If you are unsure whether we can help with your particular scan, please contact us before booking.
