Our on-site Imaging and Screening Suite brings together CT, Ultrasound, X-ray, Echo, and ECG services, with access to trusted MRI partners in Milton Keynes. By providing a comprehensive range of diagnostic investigations, we help patients and clinicians gain answers faster and plan the most appropriate next steps.
Our on-site CT scanner produces detailed cross-sectional images of the body using carefully controlled X-rays. CT is one of the most powerful tools in acute diagnosis - able to assess internal structures with a speed and precision that other modalities cannot match.
At Bloom Health, CT is available the same day where clinically indicated - ordered by your clinician, performed on-site, and results reviewed and communicated promptly.
If you're experiencing these, a CT may be clinically indicated
Conditions commonly assessed with CT at Bloom
Abdominal and pelvic assessment - appendicitis, bowel, kidney, liverHead and neurological investigations - intracranial bleeding, injuryChest and pulmonary assessment - PE, pneumonia, lung lesionsTrauma assessment - multi-region or high-impact injuriesVascular investigation - aortic and arterial conditionsCancer staging and follow-up imaging where indicatedOur on-site X-ray delivers high-quality images immediately - enabling rapid assessment of bone injuries, joint conditions, and chest or spinal concerns without leaving our facility.
X-ray is often the fastest way to confirm or rule out a fracture or structural concern. At Bloom Health, it's available the same visit as your clinical assessment - no separate booking, no waiting.
If you're experiencing these, an X-ray may be clinically indicated
Conditions commonly assessed with X-Ray at Bloom
Fractures and dislocations - limbs, ribs, spine, shoulderChest X-ray - pneumonia, heart size, pleural effusionJoint and degenerative conditions - osteoarthritis, erosive changesSpinal assessment - alignment, disc space, vertebral injurySoft tissue foreign bodies - swallowed or embedded objectsPost-surgical or post-procedure reviewUsing sound waves rather than radiation, ultrasound provides real-time imaging of soft tissues, organs and blood vessels. Our high-quality ultrasound equipment uses multiple specialist probes - abdominal, pelvic, musculoskeletal and vascular - for targeted, precise assessment.
Ultrasound is one of the most versatile diagnostic tools available. It is safe, non-invasive and able to visualise structures that X-ray and CT cannot assess effectively.
Consider an ultrasound if you're experiencing
Conditions commonly assessed with Ultrasound at Bloom
Abdominal organs - gallbladder, liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreasGynaecological - uterus, ovaries, pelvic floor, endometriumMusculoskeletal - tendons, ligaments, soft tissue injuries, bursaeVascular - DVT, carotid, peripheral arterial assessmentSoft tissue lumps and lymph nodesThyroid and neck structuresAn ECG records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the skin - providing rapid, non-invasive information about heart rhythm, rate and conduction. It is one of the first investigations performed when cardiac symptoms are present.
At Bloom Health, an ECG can be performed immediately as part of your clinical assessment - no separate appointment, no delay in identifying whether a cardiac cause is contributing to your symptoms.
If you're experiencing these, an ECG may be clinically indicated
Conditions commonly assessed with ECG at Bloom
Arrhythmias - atrial fibrillation, SVT, ventricular ectopicsIschaemia and suspected acute coronary eventsHeart block and conduction abnormalitiesElectrolyte imbalance effects on cardiac rhythmPre-operative or pre-procedure cardiac assessmentMonitoring of known cardiac disease or medication effectsAn echocardiogram uses ultrasound technology to produce real-time images of the heart - its chambers, valves, walls and overall function. It provides clinical information that an ECG alone cannot deliver, and is the gold standard for assessing structural cardiac conditions.
At Bloom Health, echocardiograms are performed using our advanced ultrasound equipment by a qualified clinician - with results reviewed and discussed in the context of your symptoms and overall assessment.
If you're experiencing these, an echo may be clinically indicated
Conditions commonly assessed with Echocardiogram at Bloom
Valvular heart disease - stenosis, regurgitation, prolapseHeart failure - assessment of systolic and diastolic functionCardiomyopathy - structural heart muscle diseasePericardial disease - effusion, pericarditisCongenital heart conditions in adultsAssessment following myocardial infarction or cardiac eventMRI is not located on-site at Bloom Health, but we work closely with trusted, vetted MRI providers in Milton Keynes. When your clinician determines that MRI is the right investigation, we don't leave you to navigate it alone.
We coordinate your referral, ensure the right MRI sequence is requested, and results are fed back through your Bloom clinician — so your imaging is always interpreted in the context of your full clinical picture.
If you're experiencing these, MRI may be clinically indicated
