Tests and Scans
Use the options below to explore medical tests and scans related to your area of interest.
Types of test and scan:
Bone density scanning (DXA)
A DXA scan can help to diagnose osteoporosis or identify if you are at risk of developing it in the future. It can also be used to detect other bone disorders and conditions, such as osteopenia, brittle bone disease, and osteomalacia.
Breast ultrasound
A breast ultrasound is used to investigate breast lumps or other abnormalities.
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.
