The Radiology department, better known as x-ray, offers an important diagnostic imaging service to support clinicians both within and outside the hospital.

We cover a wide range of imaging techniques including:

• Plain film and dental x-ray
• Ultrasound
• Nuclear Medicine scans (for functional imaging of organs)
• Fluoroscopy (studies of internal organs as well as joints)
• Angiography (studies of blood vessels)
• Mammography (x-rays of the breast)
• Bone Density scans (to check for osteoporosis)
• Tissue sampling (core biopsy) can be undertaken using x-rays, CT or Ultrasound.

As well as being a diagnostic department, we also offer a range of therapeutic techniques.
