| Diagnostic Test | Price |
|---|---|
| Abdomen and Pelvis Ultrasound (trans-abdominal) | £110 |
This is used to assess for a cause of abdominal pain. It analyses your liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, pancreas, spleen and kidneys and bladder. It can also assess your central large blood vessels. In men it may also be able to assess your prostate gland and in women, it may be able to assess your uterus and ovaries (as long as they are not obscured by overlying bowel gas or adipose tissue- hence, to adequately assess your pelvic organs, we would recommend a transvaginal ultrasound scan.
| Diagnostic Test | Price |
|---|---|
| Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder Ultrasound | £110 |
This can assess the size, shape and position of your kidneys, ureters and bladder. It looks for Kidney masses, stones obstructing the urinary tract and renal cysts. Your bladder is assessed when it is full and immediately after emptying (to ensure adequate bladder emptying).

(BUPA recognised Consultant)
Having graduated in 1999 from Babil University, Iraq, I earned my MBCHB degree. I was then awarded a fellowship to study radiology as part of the Iraqi Board training program. I performed my foundation training in Babylon University Teaching Hospital between 1999 and 2001. I subsequently started my radiology training in 2001.
In 2005, I left Iraq to come to the United Kingdom. I passed my language and medical exams in 2006 and received my GMC registration. I started my honorary registrar job in St Mary’s Hospital in London and joined the radiology training program in 2008. I was granted a fellowship in MRI in 2009.
I began my Locum Consultant position in the Royal Free Hospital in June 2010, which was followed by a permanent position as a Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist in Epsom and St. Helier University Hospitals.
I am a member of the British and European Societies of Skeletal Radiology.
I have over 5 years’ experience in both NHS and private hospitals. I have performed more than 10,000 image guided musculoskeletal injections in the NHS and private sectors.
Currently, I am leading the MRI unit in St Helier Hospital. I present the radiology aspect in the Rheumatology and Trauma and Orthopaedic meetings. I supervise and teach Junior Specialist Registrars and Radiographers during their reporting sessions.
I am involved in the teaching and research process. I have published a few papers and case reports. Currently I am a sub-investigator in 3 randomised clinical trials with the South West Elective Orthopaedic centre.
