Women's Health Imaging in Surrey
Consultant-Led Breast, Pelvic and Gynaecological Imaging
We provide specialist women's health imaging in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. Our consultant radiologists deliver high-quality, clinically focused imaging to help investigate symptoms, clarify diagnoses and support personalised treatment planning at every stage of life.
Specialist Imaging for Women's Health
Women's health imaging uses detailed breast, pelvic and gynaecological imaging to assess conditions affecting the breasts, reproductive organs and pelvic structures.
It can support early diagnosis, accurate assessment, treatment planning and ongoing monitoring. We work closely with GPs, gynaecologists, breast surgeons, fertility specialists and other referring clinicians, providing clear, timely reports to guide next steps in care. Our approach combines clinical accuracy with respectful, patient-centred support.
What Can Women's Health Imaging Detect?
Advanced MRI and other appropriate imaging examinations can provide valuable information about the breasts, uterus, ovaries, cervix and surrounding pelvic structures. Depending on the clinical question and examination requested, imaging may help investigate:
Endometriosis
Including deep endometriosis affecting pelvic organs.
Adenomyosis
Where tissue similar to the womb lining grows within the uterine muscle.
Fibroids
Including their size, number and position within the uterus.
Ovarian Cysts and
Pelvic Masses
Helping to characterise their appearance.
Endometrial and
Cervical Abnormalities
Where further assessment is clinically indicated.
Breast Symptoms or Abnormalities
Including areas requiring detailed breast imaging.
Breast Implants
Including implant integrity and surrounding breast tissue.
Congenital Abnormalities
Affecting the uterus or reproductive tract.
Causes of Chronic Pelvic Pain
Heavy bleeding or post-menopausal bleeding.
Why Choose a Women's Health Imaging Examination?
Female diagnostic imaging services in Surrey can provide detailed information that may not be available through clinical examination alone. MRI offers excellent soft-tissue contrast, allowing careful assessment of pelvic organs and breast tissue without ionising radiation. These non-invasive investigations can support earlier diagnosis, greater diagnostic confidence and more informed treatment or surgical planning. The most suitable examination will depend on your symptoms, clinical history and referral question.

How to Prepare for Your Women's Health
Imaging Scan
Preparation depends on the type of breast imaging or pelvic imaging you are having. We will send clear instructions before your appointment, including whether you need to avoid food for a period beforehand, arrive with a comfortably full bladder or provide relevant previous imaging.
Please tell us in advance if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, have a medical implant, are claustrophobic or have any concerns about contrast material.
Wear comfortable clothing and bring relevant referral information where requested.

Questions about cardiac women's health imaging in Surrey
What is women’s health imaging?
Women’s health imaging includes specialist breast, pelvic and gynaecological examinations used to assess the breasts, uterus, ovaries, cervix and surrounding pelvic structures. At SHB Medical Imaging, examinations may include MRI and other appropriate imaging, depending on your symptoms and referral question.
What conditions can women’s health imaging help diagnose?
Specialist women’s health imaging can help investigate endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic masses, congenital uterine abnormalities, breast abnormalities and breast implant concerns. Imaging findings are interpreted alongside your clinical history and symptoms.
When should I consider private women’s health imaging?
Private women’s health imaging may be appropriate if you have persistent symptoms, a known condition requiring monitoring, or need imaging to support specialist consultation or treatment planning. Your GP, consultant, gynaecologist or breast specialist can advise which examination is suitable.
What symptoms may require specialist women’s health imaging?
Imaging may be considered for persistent pelvic pain, heavy, irregular or painful periods, post-menopausal bleeding, suspected endometriosis, fertility concerns, ovarian cysts, breast lumps or other breast symptoms, and concerns about breast implants.
Do I need a referral for private women’s health imaging?
You will usually need a referral from a GP, consultant or other healthcare professional. Private self-referral may be possible for some services, subject to clinical suitability, the type of examination required and local service arrangements.
How quickly can I book a private women’s health imaging appointment?
Appointment availability depends on the examination required, referral review and the preferred hospital location. Once your referral has been assessed, the SHB Medical Imaging team will arrange the earliest suitable appointment and provide preparation instructions.
Will my scan be reviewed by a specialist women’s health radiologist?
Yes. Images are reviewed by an experienced consultant radiologist with relevant expertise in breast, pelvic or gynaecological imaging. A detailed report is then sent to your referring clinician to support appropriate next steps.
What should I expect during a women’s health imaging appointment?
You will receive information about your scan and any preparation needed before attending. Experienced radiographers perform the examination, explain the process and aim to keep you comfortable. After your scan, a consultant radiologist reviews the images and sends the report to your referrer.
Can women’s health imaging help diagnose pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding?
Yes. Pelvic MRI and other appropriate gynaecological imaging can help investigate causes of chronic pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular bleeding and post-menopausal bleeding. It may identify features of endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis or ovarian and pelvic abnormalities.
Why choose private women’s health imaging instead of waiting for an NHS appointment?
Private imaging may offer access to specialist consultant-led reporting, a choice of local hospital locations and appointment availability that suits your circumstances. SHB Medical Imaging provides focused breast and pelvic imaging across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, with reports sent promptly to your referring clinician.
