A Guide to Medical Imaging Tests and Services in Singapore

Diagnostic imaging plays a vital role in modern healthcare, helping doctors diagnose, monitor, and treat medical conditions by providing clear visuals of the internal structures of the body. In Singapore, a wide range of imaging services is available at public hospitals, diagnostic centres, and specialist clinics — usually accessed through a doctor’s referral.

This page provides a comprehensive overview of the major types of diagnostic imaging services in Singapore, including MRI scans, CT scans, X-rays, ultrasound, women’s health scans, and cardiac testing.

What Is Diagnostic Imaging?

Diagnostic imaging encompasses several techniques used to create detailed images of the human body. These non-invasive or minimally invasive methods assist doctors in identifying:

• Tumours, lesions, or cysts
• Bone fractures and spine conditions
• Heart or vascular abnormalities
• Organ inflammation or structural issues
• Women’s reproductive health concerns

Each imaging modality has specific clinical uses, and doctors typically determine which scan is most appropriate based on symptoms and medical history.

Is Diagnostic Imaging Safe?

While some imaging methods use low doses of radiation (e.g., CT, X-ray), others such as MRI and ultrasound do not involve radiation at all. All procedures are performed by trained professionals under medical supervision.
