Book an X-Ray or MRI today

Radiology requests are orders from healthcare providers for diagnostic imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. These tests are used to diagnose and evaluate medical conditions, and the results of the tests can help healthcare providers determine the best course of treatment for a patient.

Radiology requests typically include:

• Information about the patient's medical history.

• The reason for the request.

• The specific imaging test being ordered.

The request may also include any special instructions or considerations, such as the need for contrast agents or the need to avoid certain medications prior to the test.

Radiology requests are typically sent to a radiology department or imaging centre, where the tests are performed, and the results are reported back to the healthcare provider.

Radiology imaging can be used to diagnose a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• Cancers and other tumours

• Bone fractures and injuries

• Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and aneurysms

• Neurological disorders, such as brain tumours and stroke

• Pulmonary conditions, such as pneumonia and lung cancer

• Abdominal conditions, such as appendicitis and gallstones

• Musculoskeletal disorders, such as arthritis and osteoporosis

Radiologists are trained to interpret these images and provide detailed reports to other healthcare providers, who can use the information to determine the best course of treatment for a patient. The specific imaging tests and techniques used will vary depending on the individual case and the patient's needs.
