Radiology Prep for Patients

Regardless of whether you, your child, partner, or parent has an appointment for a radiological examination, there may be many questions you have e.g. on how best to prepare for it, how the exam works or how long it will last.

A computed tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and provides more detailed information than a two-dimensional X-ray. A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all body parts, and is used to find and characterize a disease or injury, as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of medical imaging used to examine almost any part of the body. MRI can be used to help diagnose a variety of medical conditions from concussions to cancers, or assess how well a current treatment is working and plan future treatments.
