We also use only the very
latest high-frequency, low radiation x-ray
generation equipment as
well as extended-distance techniques and special
filters to ensure your x-ray dose is as low or lower
than anywhere else. This includes automatic exposure control (AEC)
devices to ensure the amount of
x-ray used to get the image is perfect
everytime.
This means less chance of having
to re-take the x-ray (which would increase your
radiation dose), but also gives consistently high
quality imaging.
Our medical imaging
technology staff are all highly trained to provide
the best service possible, and of course they are
accredited and registered - so you know you're in
good hands!
In addition, all examinations are reviewed by a
qualified Diagnostic Radiologist (x-ray
specialist), who provides a written medical opinion
of your x-rays.
Patients can either
wait for their results (usually available around 20
minutes after your x-ray examination is completed),
or pick them up at another time.
We have also set up electronic result delivery with
participating GPs, and so your results are emailed
directly to them and straight into your electronic
record.
Please note that for
privacy reasons, we cannot give out results to
patients or doctors over the phone. We can however
fax the result to a doctor once we have received a
written authority to do so from the patient.
