Abstract: A scanning apparatus (5) for scanning a body part (40) comprises a container (10) configured to receive the body part and capable of holding a pressurised liquid. By such provision, in circumstances where it may be advantageous to use a pressurised liquid, rather than a pressurised gas, the apparatus (5) may be capable of scanning the body part under pressure using a pressurised liquid. In another embodiment a scanning apparatus (10) for scanning a body part comprises a container (70) configured to receive the body part and to receive a flow of fluid, wherein the container (70) comprises a longitudinal axis along which the cross-section of the container changes. In another embodiment a scanning apparatus (10) for scanning a body part comprises a collapsible container (80) configurable to receive the body part and to receive a first fluid.
