X-ray

X-ray is an imaging technique to show up abnormalities in bones and certain body tissue, such as breast tissue.

An x-ray is the most common form of diagnostic examination used as it is a quick and painless method to diagnose many health conditions such as:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Early signs of disease in organs and soft tissue
• Damage to joints
• Chest infections

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic to protect our patients and staff we need to limit the number of people visiting the hospital therefore:

• Where possible you are required to attend your appointment unaccompanied, a relative/carer can only accompany you if you require support.  If a relative/friend does bring you ask them to wait in the car
• Please Arrive on Time (No more than a couple of minutes before your appointment time) – This is to ensure that we have minimum numbers of patients in the waiting room.
• Please wear a mask/face covering
• If you are showing symptoms of Covid-19 please do not attend and telephone us to re-book your appointment.
