Imaging in the West Midlands - Why are imaging tests important?
Imaging tests are vital for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, from detecting early signs of disease to assessing injuries and monitoring ongoing treatment. By giving a detailed view of what’s happening inside the body, imaging helps healthcare providers make informed decisions and create targeted treatment plans. Whether it’s a routine check-up or investigating specific symptoms, imaging can provide the clarity needed to guide your next steps.
Some of the tests we offer
Full body MRI scan
This scan provides a detailed look at your entire body to detect issues such as tumours, inflammation, or structural abnormalities without radiation.
Coronary CT scan
A coronary CT scan creates detailed images of the heart and blood vessels, helping to assess blockages or other heart conditions non-invasively.
Vascular ultrasound scan
This scan checks blood flow in your arteries and veins to detect clots, narrowed vessels, or other circulatory problems.
Gynaecology ultrasound
A gynaecology ultrasound examines the reproductive organs, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like ovarian cysts and fibroids.
Mammogram
A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays to screen for early signs of breast cancer, essential for routine breast health monitoring.
Ultrasound scanning
Ultrasound scanning uses sound waves to create images of soft tissues and organs, commonly used for abdominal or pelvic assessments.
X-ray
X-rays provide clear images of bones and dense tissues, often used to diagnose fractures or other bone-related conditions.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound
This scan looks at muscles, tendons, and joints, helping diagnose sprains, tears, or arthritis without the use of radiation.
High-resolution CT scan
Provides detailed images of the lungs to diagnose lung diseases like fibrosis and emphysema.

Frequently asked questions
What should I expect during an imaging test?
Most imaging tests, like ultrasounds and X-rays, are non-invasive and painless. You’ll be asked to sit or lie down while the technician captures images of the targeted area. For some tests, like MRIs or CT scans, you may need to remain still for a short period. Your technician will explain the process in detail, and you can resume normal activities immediately after most tests.
Do I need to prepare for an imaging test?
Preparation depends on the type of imaging test you’re having. For example, some tests, like ultrasounds of the abdomen, may require fasting beforehand, while others, like X-rays or MRIs, don’t require any special preparation. Your healthcare provider will give you clear instructions before your appointment if any preparation is necessary.
How long does it take to get imaging test results?
In most cases, results from imaging tests are available within a few days. The images are reviewed by a radiologist, who will provide a report to your doctor. Your healthcare provider will then discuss the results with you and explain the next steps if needed.
Are imaging tests safe?
Yes, imaging tests are generally safe. Ultrasound and MRI scans use no radiation, while X-rays and CT scans use low levels of radiation. At OneMedicine, we take great care to minimise exposure, and our team ensures that all imaging is performed safely and efficiently, following strict guidelines.
