Our Story
The HLH Group was created by award-winning U.K. radiologists specializing in cardiothoracic imaging. It has expanded to include subspeciality expertise in all areas targeted in population health screening. Our subspecialty expertise in lung, cardiac, prostate, and neurological conditions enables us to aid early intervention through accurate diagnoses, which in turn enables optimal outcomes for patients.
We have the insider’s understanding of what patients, hospitals, imaging providers, and government programmes need.
We leverage state-of-the-art technology to support accurate diagnoses and to streamline care delivery. Our subspecialist imaging reports are rapid and reliable, and they provide more individualised diagnostic results than a general teleradiology report.
Lung Cancer Screenings (LCS)
We are the leading independent provider of radiology reporting for the U.K. NHS Lung Cancer Screening programme. Our expert thoracic radiology reporting minimises recall rates and the unnecessary investigation of incidental findings. This high level of quality is critical for a National Lung Cancer Screening Programme. Contact us to learn more, including how our detailed quality assurance protocol ensures success in this programme.
