Having a CT scan
CT has been in widespread use since the 1970s and is used to image many diseases and injuries.
Using X-rays does carry a small risk. However, to put this into context, a CT scan will deliver approximately the same amount of radiation you would absorb from your normal surroundings in about three years. Another way of looking at this is to say that the benefits of having a scan outweigh the risks associated with it.

Wonderful, clean, spacious building. Helpful, friendly, professional staff. I was looked after very well.
All of the staff, from reception to all the nurses and MRI scanning team, were absolutely lovely. Very friendly and caring, and kept me well informed throughout.
