Diagnostic Imaging
At West Midland Referrals, there are a range of diagnostic imaging modalities available to assist in reaching a rapid and accurate diagnosis. This helps to ensure the optimal treatment is selected allowing better patient outcomes.
Computed Tomography (CT)
We have an on-site CT scanner. CT is an advanced imaging method that uses x-rays to produce multiple thin image slices of the body. After the scan has been performed the images can be manipulated using computer programs that can restack and recut the slices in any direction, or even produce three-dimensional pictures, without resorting to invasive exploratory surgery. We principally use CT to help to diagnose joint and spinal problems.
The immediate availability of three-dimensional imaging can be critical to the successful management of many serious problems and such images are also very useful in planning surgery for complex fractures and limb deformities.
Ultrasound
We have high-end ultrasound imaging facilities on site. This allows real-time imaging of the thorax and abdomen.
Radiography
We have a high-definition Fuji Prima II CR system radiography system.
