Medical Imaging

X-rays utilise high-energy electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light, to capture images of structures inside the body.

While the technology has existed for decades, modern X-ray machines and safety standards have significantly improved. They remain one of the most effective tools for diagnosing trauma, injuries, and internal conditions.

At our Banbury hospital, The New Foscote Hospital, on-site X-ray facilities ensure that consultant radiologists can quickly analyze images, offering valuable insights to their colleagues and enabling prompt treatment for patients.

X-rays are commonly used to detect bone fractures, dislocations, and tumors. They can also penetrate swelling, locate foreign objects, and identify structural abnormalities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

As a cost-effective and essential imaging method, X-rays continue to play a vital role in diagnosing conditions, translating symptoms into clear medical solutions, and guiding effective treatment.

Who Might Need an X-Ray?

X-rays can help with the diagnosis of a wide range of conditions including:

  • Broken and fractured bones
  • Chest conditions
  • Sprained, or dislocated joints
  • Tumour growth

Arranging A Private X-ray

To receive an X-ray you will first need a referral from a GP or specialist who can assess you and see whether an X-ray is suitable.

For a convenient and seamless experience you can book an appointment with one of our private GPs or experienced consultants who can quickly evaluate your needs and provide a referral if necessary. This can often be arranged on the same day.

What to Expect On The Day

X-rays are an outpatient procedure, you simply come to the hospital for imaging and can leave again once the x-rays are complete.

  1. Preparing For Your X-Ray

    Unless advised otherwise, on the day of your x-ray you can eat, drink and take medication as you normally would. Please inform us If you think you may be pregnant, as x-rays are not recommended during pregnancy.

    Before your x-ray you will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire, which is simply part of our safety procedure.

  2. During Your X-Ray

    X-ray procedures vary, depending on the part of your body being scanned. The radiographer will explain how you should stand, or lie down and ensure you are comfortable,

    Careful positioning ensures that your x-rays are taken from the correct angle. All you need to do is stay still for a second, whilst the machine is operated from behind a screen.

  3. After Your X-Ray

    Once your x-rays are complete, you will be able to go home. Our expert radiologists will examine the results and discuss them with your consultant. They will be in touch quite quickly, with your diagnosis and to discuss next steps if needed.
