Description

Welcome to the European Scanning Centre ESC the UKs leading CT computed tomographic medical imaging centre

Based in Londons famous Harley Street we use the worlds most advanced CT scanner the Aquilion ONE 640 slice CT scanner to scan patients for the very earliest signs of disease including cardiovascular disease and many cancers Most of us accept that early detection leads to better health outcomes and that more focus on preventive health is beneficial

We are the ONLY independent healthcare clinic in the UK with one of these state of the art 640 slice machines This incredibly powerful CT scanner produces unprecedented detailed 3D views of the bodys organs and joints and with significantly less radiation than other CT scanners currently in use Our CT scanner is increasingly used by patients and doctors from all over the UK as a completely noninvasive alternative to many invasive diagnostic procedures such as a coronary CT angiogram or virtual colonoscopy

As well as CT we also provide ultrasound MRI and Xray imaging services
