Prompt and accurate diagnosis can often prevent a short-term issue from becoming a long-term and potentially serious problem.
Fortunately, modern technologies, which include X-ray, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI scans, enable accurate diagnoses to be made quickly and effectively.
The NHS website has easy-to-understand information about each of these techniques:
