Millions of people missed out on potentially life-saving scans when non-Covid-19 NHS services ground to a halt during the pandemic with those living in London most affected, analysis shows.
The BBC Shared Data Unit analysed the number of scans carried out by 103 hospital trusts across England as well as the waiting times for diagnostics across the home nations.
While scans, including MRI, CT and ultrasound, dropped by a third overall in England during the six-month period between April and September - the largest reductions were felt in London.
Trusts in the capital carried out 39% less scans than the previous year.
Across England overall, at least 4.4 million fewer scans were performed between April and September this year compared to the same period in 2019.
NHS England says some services are now back to the same levels as last year.
