X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, mammography, and echocardiography — ordered by your Amadeo specialist, who advises where to have the scan done and reviews the results with you.
Imaging is rarely the destination — it's a question the specialist needs answered. A persistent abdominal pain that needs an ultrasound. A suspected stress fracture that needs an X-ray. A neurological symptom that needs an MRI. A breast change that needs a mammogram. The right question, the right modality, and the right reader matter more than the building the scan happens in.
Amadeo doesn’t run an in-house scanner. Instead, your specialist works out exactly which scan will answer the question, writes the request, and advises you on where to have it done. You bring the images and report back — or have the facility send them — and the doctor who ordered the scan walks you through what the findings mean.

Pre-surgical work-up is the largest category — chest X-ray and ECG before an operation, occasional CT or MRI for complex cases. Your surgeon orders these with the operation date in mind, so the results can be back in time for anaesthesia and surgical planning.
Cardiology and internal medicine patients are the next — echocardiography for cardiac function, ultrasound for vascular and abdominal questions, CT and MRI for complex evaluations. The Amadeo specialist frames the clinical question in the request, so the radiology report comes back targeted rather than generic.
Routine screening is also ordered here — annual mammography for women in the recommended age range, abdominal ultrasounds when clinically indicated, obstetric ultrasounds in our gynaecology pathway, and bone-density scans for patients on long-term medications that affect bone health.
Right scan, right question. Different symptoms call for different scans, and the wrong one wastes weeks and money. Your Amadeo specialist works out exactly what’s needed and advises you on where you can have it done — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
One doctor holding the thread. The specialist who orders your scan is the same one who reviews the report with you and decides the next step. For multistep care (a scan, a follow-up visit, a treatment plan), that continuity is the difference between continuous and broken.
Over 30,000 families have come through these doors. Bring your reports back to us and they become part of your record — your history stays with the specialist who knows your case. You and yours will be in great hands.
No — scans are done at dedicated imaging facilities. Your Amadeo specialist orders the scan, advises you on where to have it done, and reviews the results with you afterwards.
That depends on the imaging facility and the scan. The specialist who orders it will tell you the expected timing and flag anything urgent on the request.
Bring the report and images back to Amadeo — or ask the facility to send them — and you’ll review the result at a follow-up visit with the specialist, who can explain what the findings mean for your care plan.
Yes — bring the CD or USB with the images, plus the written report if you have it. The specialist can review external imaging during your consultation rather than ordering a duplicate scan.
The scan is paid for at the imaging facility, and cost varies by modality (X-ray is the least expensive; MRI is the most) and by facility. Most major Jamaican health insurance providers cover imaging; pre-authorisation may apply for CT and MRI. Your specialist can guide you when ordering.
