Diagnostic imaging and clinical investigations for medico-legal reports
MRI, X-ray, CT, nerve conduction studies and ultrasound, booked at diagnostic facilities, with timescales confirmed at booking.
Where a medical report needs imaging or specialist investigation to support its conclusions, Expert Medical Examination arranges the test directly. We book tests at diagnostic facilities, including private MRI and CT centres and specialist clinics, as close to the claimant as possible and without administrative friction for the instructing solicitor.
For what a report contains and how to instruct one, see our guide to medico-legal reports.
Arranged for you
We book the test, confirm the timescale at booking and keep the instructing party informed, so the medical evidence is not held up waiting for a referral.
Independent diagnostic providers
Imaging and tests are carried out by independent diagnostic providers, who are responsible for the scan or test and for reporting its results.
Integrated with the report
Imaging results feed directly into the reporting expert's assessment, so the evidence is presented as a single coordinated opinion rather than separate documents.
Quality evidence requires quality investigation
We treat diagnostic imaging as an integral part of the medico-legal opinion, not an add-on. Where a scan or specialist test is clinically indicated, we arrange it and the result is considered by the expert as part of the final report.
- MRI scans (musculoskeletal, brain, spinal)
- X-ray imaging, plain film and digital
- CT scans for complex injury cases
