Medical Imaging at The Health Suite Leicester

Medical imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating a wide range of health conditions. By using advanced medical imaging technologies, healthcare professionals can gain detailed insights into the body’s internal structures, helping to detect injuries, assess disease progression, and guide treatment planning.

At The Health Suite Leicester, we offer on-site ultrasound scanning, providing high-quality imaging for various medical concerns, including musculoskeletal issues and tissue health. Electrocardiogram for cardio-related issues. For X-rays, CT, and MRI scans, we facilitate fast and seamless referrals to our trusted local partner, ensuring patients receive the most appropriate imaging without delays.

Each imaging method serves a unique purpose:

• Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues, organs, and blood flow. It is particularly valuable for examining the heart, abdomen, joints, and reproductive organs.
• Paediatric ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging method used to diagnose and monitor conditions in infants and children using sound waves.
• ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a quick, painless test that records the heart’s electrical activity to detect rhythm issues, heart attacks, and other conditions.
• A 24-hour ECG (Holter monitor) records heart activity continuously for 24 hours to detect irregular rhythms or other heart issues during daily activities.
• A paediatric ECG is a safe, painless test that records a child’s heart rhythm and electrical activity to help diagnose heart conditions or abnormalities.
• X-rays provide quick and effective imaging of bones and certain soft tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of fractures, infections, and lung conditions.
• CT (Computed Tomography) Scans use rotating X-ray beams to create detailed 3D images, making them particularly useful for assessing injuries, organ health, and vascular conditions.
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) utilises strong magnets and radio waves to produce high-resolution images of soft tissues, joints, and the nervous system, without exposing patients to radiation.

With a commitment to accurate diagnostics and patient-centred care, The Health Suite Leicester ensures that every patient receives the highest standard of medical imaging, whether through our in-house ultrasound services, ECG or efficient referrals for X-ray, CT, and MRI scanning. Our dedicated team ensures that results are delivered promptly, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions for optimal patient outcomes.
