The Radiology Department aims to demonstrate a caring and compassionate attitude and try to offer prompt appointments allowing patients to have a choice of timings wherever possible.
X-rays are taken to help diagnose problems with bones and areas of the body such as the chest and abdomen. Scans such as CT and MR are used to give more detailed pictures of parts of the body such as the brain, spine, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Ultrasound scans are used to give detailed pictures of the abdomen, as well as joints such as the shoulder. They are also used to check the growth of babies in pregnant women.
Research
The Radiology Department has the safety of patients as a priority and work to a high standard using as little radiation as possible. The Radiology Department supports the training of nurses, radiographers and doctors and works closely with the Universities of Salford and Manchester. As part of a teaching hospital, the Radiology Department actively supports research.
