The Radiology Department consists of the following five main clinical service areas:
- Bone Mineral Density Scanner (BMD)
- Breast Imaging Unit / Breast Screening
- CT and MRI Scanning
- X-Ray
- Ultrasound, including maternity services
The James Paget University Hospital Radiology department performs over 70,000 X-rays, 60,000 CT and MRI scans and over 30,000 ultrasound scans a year.
The department is composed of over 170 staff including Radiologists, Consultant Radiographers, Radiographers, Sonographers, Nurses, Imaging Assistants, Assistant Practitioners, Healthcare Assistants, Administration and Radiology IT staff.
In addition, we have a commitment to teaching Specialist Registrars from the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Radiology Academy, and medical students from the University of East Anglia Medical School. We also train Radiographers, annually linking in with the University of Suffolk and University of Exeter for our apprenticeships.
We are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and efficient imaging service to the population of Great Yarmouth and Waveney, along with the surrounding areas of Norfolk and Suffolk.
We now have additional imaging available within our Community Diagnostic Centres at the James Paget and Northgate Hospital. You can find out more about these by clicking here.
Radiology is essential in the investigation of injuries, a range of illnesses and the monitoring of the progression or response to treatment as well as providing diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Radiology uses:
- X-rays to produce images ranging from bones, joints, breasts and chest x-rays to more specialised procedures using dyes to highlight areas, such as barium studies of the bowels and throat. X-rays are also used to aid the positioning of implants and tools and drains during theatre and endoscopy procedures
- Ultrasound to image for pregnancy, soft tissue organs like the kidneys and liver, aid biopsy procedures, and more specialised procedures such as joint injections and vascular studies.
- Computed Tomography (CT) to image the soft tissue organs and joints in greater detail, head scans, and cardiac imaging. CT is used extensively for studying disease status.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to image the soft tissues and joints and provide fine detail, as well as cardiac imaging.
