About us

The Department of Radiology is on the ground floor of the hospital.

On site, within the Theatre complex, there is a Philips 3T intraoperative MRI scanner, two Philips bi-plane suites one for Vascular Intervention and one for Cardiac work. A Siemens Zeego Hybrid Theatre is also in the theatre complex primarily for spinal work but also for combined complex IR/Surgical cases. A portable ultrasound is exclusively available for IR use.

The department has an excellent and close working relationship with the surrounding adult centres, particularly with the Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery, the Liverpool Foundation Trust (incorporating the Royal Liverpool Hospitals, Aintree Hospital) and the Liverpool Heart and Chest hospital. This allows seamless transitional care, collaborative working and a collegiate approach to patient care throughout the Mersey region and the wider North-West of England.
