X-ray

X-ray is a medical imaging technique using a burst of high energy radiation (X-ray) to produce images of bones, providing clear detail of the bony structure.

X-ray scans can be used to examine the bones, joints and sometimes used to detect problems affecting soft tissue, such as internal organs.

As a non-invasive and painless procedure, X-ray scans have become an important widespread imaging tool since introduction and are commonly used by the NHS.

Diagnostic Healthcare has a long-standing track record of delivering X-ray services from static clinic locations and from mobile and modular facilities. The X-ray service is delivered by highly trained Radiographers who are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and follow a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme.
