Radiography
You'll get to study in our fantastic imaging suite:
- GE Proteus X-ray unit
- Agfa computed radiography system for image manipulation, image inversion and edge enhancement
- DXA (Bone Densitometry) scanner
- An ultrasound machine.
These are linked to an Agfa Picture Archiving and Communications (PACS) system, which allows radiographers to distribute images via email.
Take a look at our Clinical Skills Suite website for more information.
Whether you're just starting out or an experienced professional, we've got courses to suit you
Within Radiography, we have two main areas:
- diagnostic imaging
- osteoporosis and falls
We've got close links with service, so our courses are up to date and meet the needs of the modern healthcare professional.
We offer a referral service too
If you're a chiropractor, GP or NHS consultant, you can refer your patients to us for a range of x-ray examinations, and bone densitometry (DXA) scans.
You'll be able to refer patients to us for ultrasound examination, soon.
Thirty-minute appointments are available on Monday afternoons from 2pm - 5pm, and Wednesday mornings from 9am - 1pm.
We can also see patients as an emergency.
All examinations are carried out by one of our qualified radiographers, registered with the Health Professions Council. One of our imaging assistants will help both your patient and the radiographer.
We're continually improving our services
We're developing the following services:
- image reporting service for axial and appendicular skeleton
- bone densitometry scanning and reporting service
- ultrasound scanning and reporting service for abdominal, pelvic and musculo-skeletal systems.
