Tests and Scans
Use the options below to explore medical tests and scans related to your area of interest.
Types of test and scan:
CT scan (or CAT scan)
A CT scan is used to produce internal cross-sectional images of the body. The images aid the detection of disease and injury, allowing effective treatment planning.
Endoscopic ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a highly specialised investigation combining two types of tests - endoscopy and ultrasound.
Gynaecological ultrasound
A Gynaecological ultrasound is often used to examine conditions affecting the organs in a woman's pelvis - the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Mammogram (breast screening)
A mammogram is a diagnostic test used to look for any problems within the breast and surrounding tissues. At Nuffield Health some women are eligible to refer themselves for self-pay breast screening.
MRI scan
An MRI scan uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your body, helping doctors diagnose your condition. Our expert team at Nuffield Health Exeter Hospital ensures accurate results and comfortable care.
Osteoporosis screen
Osteoporosis literally means “porous bones” and is one of the most common bone diseases in the world.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a non-invasive scan that uses sound waves to create live images from the inside of the body.
