What is an X-ray scan?

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 an X-ray work?

A beam of ionising radiation known as an X-ray is directed into the area being examined by an X-ray machine. Each type of tissue or organ in your body reacts differently to the X-rays as they go through it. This information is seen as shaded regions with a range of black to white on the X-ray image.

To undergo an X-ray, you will be positioned either sitting, lying down on a flat table, or standing against a flat surface. This allows the healthcare team to accurately align the specific body part that requires imaging with the X-ray machine. A radiographer with specialised training in conducting X-rays will operate the machine while positioned behind a protective screen.

Why would you need an X-ray?

X-rays are used to examine the bones and joints of the body. X-rays are used to diagnose some of the problems shown below:

Fractured or broken bones

X-rays are an effective way to detect a range of conditions including fractured bones, joint dislocation, injuries and joint abnormalities, such as arthritis.

Breathing difficulties

X-rays are an effective way of evaluating the lungs, heart and chest wall. A scan can identify breathing problems, a persistent cough, chest pain, an injury or fever.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine. It can affect people of any age, from babies to adults. A scan can determine the severity and corrective treatment needed.

Heart and lung disease

X-rays can identify heart failure, infection, and lung issues such as pneumonia and lung cancer. They can also reveal chronic conditions such as cystic fibrosis.

What happens during an X-ray?

Our Radiographers will position you on a table, and place a film holder or digital recording plate under the part of your body being scanned.

The radiographer will then move behind a protective screen to start the X-Ray.
