Scanning Centres

If you are concerned about an existing problem or want a scan as a precautionary measure, there are now many private scanning centres available which will offer this service. Whether you need a referral or not will depend partly upon the type of scan and partly upon medical practice or law in your country, but the centres can advise on this.

MHL promotes leading specialist medical centres around the world and these offer three main services to international patients:

Diagnosis

Second opinions

Treatment

For any of these you are likely to need scans in digital format. CyberKnife^® centres in particular require very recent scans (within the last three weeks for cancer) to make their assessments.

As well as the usual MRI (including open MRI), CT and PET scans some centres offer specialised scans giving non-invasive diagnosis of a range of conditions, which may include types of scan that have only recently become available.

The links below will take you either to information on specialist scanning/diagnostic centres in these countries or on private hospitals and medical centres with scanning facilities.

Centres may ask you to post them your scans on a CD and many now allow direct upload by internet.
