Plain film imaging and fluoroscopy services to hospital and community wide clinical areas including trauma, orthopaedic, cardiac catheter lab, theatre and mobile radiography as well as GP referrals. the department also provides a full range of Ultrasound, CT scanning, Nuclear Medicine, MRI scanning and symptomatic Mammography services.
