PET/CT

Our PET/CT department opened in June 2006, to both the public and private sectors, and has already undergone several hardware and software upgrades to ensure it remains state of the art. We provide the very latest technology combined with the expertise of highly trained and experienced medical and radiographic staff. Our department helps to train many doctors for other NHS Trusts.

Our centre provides patients with a modern, clean, safe and comfortable environment while our flexible, efficient and responsive approach affords you a level of service clinicians can depend upon.

Our state of the art Philips Gemini scanner provides quiet, fast imaging with the highest quality and resolution, and is the only "open" system on the market allowing a much more pleasant scanning experience, even for highly claustrophobic patients. As such we have had a large degree of success in scanning claustrophobic patients (referred to us nationally) that have been unable to complete their scans on other systems.

The centre provides a clinical PET service for referred patients at a local and national level and performs clinically related research.

Why have a scan with us?

The cost is one of the lowest of any PET/CT provider in the country; it is £798 per scan. We keep the cost down by using leading edge scanner technology, giving fast and effective results allowing us to maintain our policy of no waiting for appointment times and flexible appointments. We aim to provide the most cost effective, reliable and accurate PET/CT service to the NHS and private health sector. The scans are reported by our team of experienced radiologists led by Consultant Radiologist Professor Iain Lyburn who has many years PET/CT experience.
