What is a CT scan?
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a fast, non-invasive imaging test that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the inside of your body. It uses advanced X-ray technology to assess bones, organs and soft tissues with a high level of accuracy.
By capturing images from multiple angles and combining them into a single, detailed view, a CT scan allows clinicians to clearly identify a wide range of conditions, including injuries, infections and other underlying health concerns.
How does a CT scan work?
During a CT scan, the scanner moves gently around you, taking a series of images from different angles. These images are then combined to create detailed cross-sectional views, helping your clinician see the internal structures of your body with greater clarity than a standard X-ray.
In some cases, a contrast agent may be used to enhance image quality. This can be given as an injection or, for certain scans, as a drink. Contrast is widely used and helps to highlight blood vessels, organs and areas of concern more clearly.
Areas We Can Perform a CT Scan
Alaya Health's diagnostic imaging centre in Surrey offers a wide range of private CT scans, each performed by leading specialists:
Abdomen and Pelvis
Comprehensive imaging for abdominal pain, suspected tumours, or pelvic disease.
Ankle
If you have ongoing ankle pain, injury, or instability, a CT scan gives detailed images of bone and soft tissues.
Calcium Score Test
A crucial scan that measures calcium in the arteries, helping to assess heart disease risk before symptoms develop.
Cardiac
Specialist imaging of the heart to detect disease, assess function, and guide further treatment.
Chest
Chest CT scans in Surrey are used to investigate persistent coughs, unexplained symptoms, or suspected lung disease.
Facial Bones
For facial trauma or sinus problems, providing a detailed map of the bones and airways.
Foot
Foot CT scans can identify fractures, soft tissue concerns, or inflammation that's invisible to standard imaging.
Fracture Assessment
Where standard imaging falls short, our CT scans offer high-resolution images for the expert diagnosis of bone fractures.
Head and Brain
Neuroimaging for headaches, unexplained neurological symptoms, trauma, or stroke concerns, ensuring you get fast clarity.
Kidney
For suspected stones, tumours or infections, kidney CT scans allow for expert analysis and diagnosis.
Lumbar Spine
For back pain, nerve issues or suspected disc injuries, a lumbar spine CT can provide clear, vital details for diagnosis and ongoing care.
Shoulder
Ideal for assessing unexplained shoulder pain, fractures, or injury-related concerns where an X-ray may not provide enough information.
Every scan at Alaya Health is backed by years of clinical experience, ensuring your results are interpreted with the highest level of expertise and care.
How do I prepare for a CT scan?
Preparation for a CT scan is straightforward, and our team will guide you through everything in advance.
You may be asked to wear comfortable clothing and remove any metal items before your scan. If your scan requires contrast, you may need a simple blood test beforehand, and we will provide clear instructions to ensure everything is safe and suitable for you.
Some people notice a brief warm sensation or a metallic taste when contrast is used — this is normal and passes quickly. If you have any allergies, medical conditions, or concerns, please let us know ahead of your appointment so we can ensure your comfort and safety.
What to Expect: The CT Scan Process
Consultation
At Alaya Health, your safety is our priority. CT scans use a higher dose of radiation than other imaging techniques, so our clinical team will carefully assess the need for each scan. We'll discuss your symptoms, previous tests and refer you, if required, to the most appropriate diagnostic pathway.
Booking and Timing
Once the scan is agreed, we schedule your appointment at a time that works for you, often within days. Our friendly team provides clear instructions about preparing for the scan, so you feel calm and confident on the day.
During the Scan
Using our state-of-the-art GE 128-slice scanner, your CT scan will be quick and comfortable. Our experienced radiographers explain each step, aiming to reduce anxiety and keep you informed throughout. Most scans take only a few minutes.
Diagnosis and Next Steps
After your scan, our consultant radiologists analyse the images in detail. A full, expert report is sent to your referring clinician within 24 to 48 hours. Any urgent findings are communicated promptly for your peace of mind and to support timely care.
Ongoing Support
We believe healthcare should feel human, so we remain available for you following the scan. Our team helps explain your results or arrange further expert advice if required, always prioritising clarity, compassion, and your ongoing health.
