X-Ray Scans

An X-ray is a quick procedure used to produce images of the inside of the body and is an effective way to identify joint problems.

The test exposes your body to a small dose of radiation to take images of bones, blood vessels, heart or lungs.

All our scans are carried out by experienced Radiographers, to ensure you receive the highest level of care.

You may need an X-ray if you suspect a bone is broken, fractured, or infected. X-rays can be used to check for joint damage or inflammation, and signs of disease in your soft tissue and organs.

How does it work?

X-rays, emitted from a machine, penetrate the body to create shaded regions on an image, indicating varying tissue densities. During the procedure, you'll be positioned for precise alignment with the machine, whether sitting, lying down, or standing. A skilled radiographer operates the equipment from behind a protective screen.
