Meet your radiologist
Your consultant radiologist
Dr Mary Hart FRCR
A consultant radiologist specialising in head and neck and gynaecological imaging, who carries out ultrasound examinations and ultrasound-guided biopsies herself.
About
Your scan is carried out by a consultant radiologist who specialises in head and neck and gynaecological imaging. She performs ultrasound examinations herself, along with ultrasound-guided procedures such as biopsies, so you are looked after by the same specialist from the first image to the final report.
Her focus is on making the experience as calm as possible: explaining each step before it begins, taking the time to answer your questions, and making sure the images give your doctor the clear answers they need.
Areas of practice
What she specialises in
Gynaecological imaging
Ultrasound examination of the female pelvis, carried out and reported by a specialist radiologist.
Ultrasound-guided biopsies
Where a sample is needed, ultrasound is used to guide the needle precisely to the area of interest, so the sample is taken accurately and with care. Other image-guided procedures are also carried out.
