CAT (Computerised Axial Tomography) scans are performed in medical hospitals and clinics. A physician can refer a patient for a scan at an NHS hospital and this will be carried out at no cost. However if a patient is anxious to have a CAT scan done more quickly, or if his doctor will not refer him, the procedure can be carried out privately either at a private clinic or out of normal working hours at the NHS hospital. A private scan will cost in the region of £300 to £750 dependant upon the parts of the body being scanned.
