Imaging & Diagnostics

Seeing what matters, safely

Obstetric ultrasound
Dating and viability scans in early pregnancy, and anomaly scans at 18–22 weeks.
Growth & wellbeing scans
Serial growth assessment, amniotic fluid and placental checks for monitored pregnancies.
Cardiotocography (CTG)
Continuous foetal heart monitoring in labour and for high-risk antenatal reviews.
General X-ray
Chest and skeletal radiography for patients attending outpatient and emergency services.
Reporting & images
Written reports to your clinician and, where appropriate, printed images for your records.
Radiation safety
Strict precautions for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, children and staff.
