General X-Ray Rooms and Equipment

All of our imaging rooms and modalities are contained within one area of the hospital.

You may hear the terms ‘main x-ray’ and ‘ED x-ray’ – historically our general x-ray rooms were equally split on virtually opposite sides of the department where we imaged specific patient types.

All 4 general x-ray rooms are now located alongside each other and imaging of any patient type can occur in practically any one of the rooms.
