Ever wonder why your doctor sends you for an X-rays, CT scan or an MRI?

In short:
▫️X-rays show bones and dense structures; detect fractures and infections.
▫️CT scans show detailed cross-sectional images of organs, bones, bleeding and tumours.
▫️MRI scans show high-contrast images of soft tissues, joints, brain, spine and organs.
Each type of imaging allows our Radiologist to assess a specific concern and provide a detailed report.

Your GP or specialist will know which scan is best and write this on your referral.
When you come in for your appointment, your radiographer will explain your procedure to you.

SPECT/CT is not a typo and not science fiction.
So what exactly is that?

SPECT stands for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography.
🫀🫁🧠It shows how blood flows to your tissues and organs.
CT stands for Computed Tomography.
👀💀 🖼It gives detailed images of how things look inside your body.

When combined, SPECT/CT provides a powerful view of both function and structure. It helps doctors detect bone conditions, heart problems and certain cancers with impressive accuracy.

This scan is especially useful when:
✴️symptoms are hard to explain
✴️other imaging shows no cause for chronic pain
✴️when diseases like cancer need careful monitoring over time.

🩺Always speak with your doctor when you have symptoms that won't go away. They're in the best position to know which tests are right for you.

What does radiology have to do with heart health?
Cardiac imaging plays a vital role in helping your doctor determine how well your heart is working 💓.

Following your initial heart health checks, your GP might recommend scans like:
♦ CT Calcium Score
♦ CT Coronary Angiogram (CTCA)
♦ Echocardiography
♦ Myocardial Perfusion Scan

These scans give a detailed view of your heart and blood vessels.
Helping detect narrowed arteries, poor blood flow or early signs of heart disease.
