Welcome to our scanning services

Circle BMI Mount Alvernia Hospital and The Imaging Clinic radiologist chambers have been working in joint venture for over 15 years, and it is pleased to offer state-of-the-art imaging to Surrey, London, Hampshire, Sussex and surrounding home counties.  It currently offers MRI, CT, Molecular Imaging (including Nuclear Medicine & PET CT) scans as well assistance in booking ultrasound, mammography (including tomosynthesis) and bone densitometry (DEXA).  It also provides access to Interventional radiology imaging and therapeutic intervention (‘pinhole surgery’).

All Your Diagnostic Needs in One Place

Our Scans & Procedures

The Imaging Clinic offers all major scans and a full reporting service by UK radiologists with many years of training and experience, all registered with the General Medical Council, accredited by The Royal College of Radiologists and with reporting privileges at our hospital base.

In many cases, scans can be booked without a GP or consultant referral as calls, messages and e-mails are managed directly by our consultant radiologists who can answer your imaging queries.

Nuclear Medicine

This technique uses a very low dose of a radioactive agent which is taken up and used by the body’s metabolism to reveal bodily function with the agent broken down naturally by the body usually within minutes to hours before it is excreted.

CT Scans (128 slice scanner)

A technique using a low dose of x-rays to image the entire body in slices as thin as a millimetre demonstrating anatomy and pathology in exquisite detail.

X-Ray Imaging (Digital)

The original imaging technique using ‘x-rays’ following the discovery in 1896 of previously unidentified rays (hence “X”) by Conrad Von Roentgen. Digital imaging using the technique called ‘Computed Radiography’ currently ensures more detailed imaging using lower x-ray doses. The latesrt technique is ‘Digital Radiography’ (DR).

Bone Densitometry (DEXA scanning)

This is a very low dose x-ray technique used to quantitatively measure bone density. The same equipment can also be used to measure the amount and distribution of body fat.

Ultrasound (including Doppler imaging)

A technique using sound waves rather than x-rays to provide imaging of the body. It is particularly useful in areas of the body where bone or air does not block the penetration of sound waves. Thus it is useful in most areas of the body but limited in the skull, chest and gas-containing structures eg bowel.

Full Field Digital Mammography

State-of-the-art imaging using a low dose x-ray technique whilst the breast is compressed allowing accurate delineation of microcalcification and soft tissue abnormalities which may suggest breast cancer.  The same equipment utilises an accurate localisation technique called stereotaxis to place a biopsy needle with minimum discomfort in potentially abnormal areas.

Patient Testimonial: I was the first patient to be scanned on the new comfortable fixed facility PET CT scanner at Mount Alvernia Hospital, and have been treated for a number of years in Guildford with several PET CT scans at the hospital. I was surprised and delighted to be invited to the opening of the scanner by Anne Milton MP and have always received expert imaging provided by the wonderful Molecular Imaging team running the scanner, with prompt comprehensive reports
