What Affects the Price?

Is It Worth Paying for Consultant-Led Scanning?

A scan performed and interpreted directly by a Consultant Cardiologist — rather than a technician scan reviewed remotely — provides real-time clinical correlation between what's seen on the scan and your symptoms or history, often catching nuances a standardised reporting process might miss.
