Diagnostic imaging service.

VCL is a new diagnostic imaging service specialising in the cardiovascular system which provides direct access to both clinicians and patients.

About VCL.

VCL (Virtual Cath Lab) is owned and operated by a group of cardiologists and radiologists that are passionate about providing access to the latest heart scan technology to diagnose and prevent heart disease – potentially many years before symptoms would otherwise develop.

Cardiologists are the clinicians that deal with heart attacks, so sadly are only too aware that in approximately half of patients the first symptom of their heart disease is either a heart attack or sudden death. Radiologists are the specialists that read the images obtained from CT scans

VCL operates software and cloud systems which facilitate booking, safety checklists, quality control and the operation of high quality scan services. VCL works in association with local cardiologists.
