This page helps you find and choose a laboratory or imaging provider. For background on tests and conditions, see the Diagnostics health topic.

What diagnostics covers

Diagnostic services carry out tests that help a doctor understand what is happening in the body. They include laboratory tests on samples such as blood, and imaging such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI scans.

Who provides it

A radiologist is a doctor who specialises in medical imaging and reports on scans. Radiographers, sonographers and technologists operate the equipment. Laboratory medicine specialists, with scientists and phlebotomists, oversee and perform laboratory testing. HealthNaro lists the specialties Radiology and Laboratory Medicine.

Main services

Listed services are blood tests, ultrasound scans, X-rays and MRI and CT scans. A profile shows a service only when the provider has told us it is offered.

How to choose a provider

  • Ask whether the laboratory or imaging centre is accredited or licensed by the relevant national body, and who reports the results.
  • Read the verification label: Public listing, Contact verified, Reviewed by HealthNaro or Credentials verified. Labels describe what we checked, not the accuracy of results.
  • Ask whether the test you need is carried out on site or sent elsewhere.
  • Check opening hours, accessibility and whether appointments are needed.
  • Ask how and when results will reach you and your doctor.
  • If you need a scan, ask whether a doctor's request is required.

What to prepare

Bring the request form from your doctor, if you have one, and any earlier scans or results for comparison. Tell the staff about any allergies, whether you could be pregnant, any implants or metal in the body, and medicines you take. Follow any fasting or preparation instructions you are given. Do not send results or images through HealthNaro forms.

Cost, insurance and access

The cost of a test depends on the type, the body area, whether a contrast agent is used and whether a specialist report is included. Ask for a written estimate and what it covers. Check whether your insurer needs pre-authorisation for scans. HealthNaro shows prices only where a source and date exist. Ask about accessibility if you use a wheelchair, as scanner rooms vary.

Free request

Send a free request and, with your consent, we share only the details you choose with suitable providers. HealthNaro does not interpret results or give medical advice.
