Patient Information

    What to Expect at Your Appointment

    A clear walk-through of your visit to Niddrie Xray, tailored to each of the imaging services we offer.

    Quiet, spacious and comfortable imaging

    Wide Bore MRI

    Our wide bore MRI has a larger opening than a standard scanner, giving you more room and helping with claustrophobia. The scan uses magnetic fields and radio waves – no radiation is involved.

    Fast, detailed cross-sectional imaging

    Low Dose CT

    CT scanning uses a rotating X-ray tube to build detailed 3D images of your body. Our low dose protocols deliver excellent diagnostic detail while keeping radiation as low as reasonably possible.

    Safe, radiation-free imaging using sound waves

    Ultrasound

    Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create live images of your organs, blood vessels and soft tissues. It's painless, doesn't use radiation and is safe in pregnancy.

    Quick imaging for bones, chest and dental

    X-Ray & OPG

    Digital X-ray is often the first imaging step for suspected fractures, joint pain or chest symptoms. OPG (orthopantomogram) captures your whole upper and lower jaw in a single panoramic image.

    Image-guided injections, biopsies and FNA

    Interventional Procedures

    Interventional procedures are performed by our specialist radiologists using CT or ultrasound to guide a fine needle to the exact area being treated or sampled. They're minimally invasive and most patients go home the same day.
