At Xplore Radiology Camden, we offer a wide variety of services to meet your needs. We provide x-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound services, as well as pregnancy ultrasound services. We are here to help you get the care you need, when you need it.
Our experienced team at Xplore Radiology performs thousands of x-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans each year. Prior to your appointment, our friendly team will provide you with the information you need to prepare for your appointment and will explain what happens during the imaging session.
On the day you visit, your experienced medical imaging technologist will talk with you about your medical imaging session. They will then conduct the scan and your results will be sent to your doctor, usually on the same day.
X-rays
X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. X-rays work by producing a beam of low dose radiation that passes through your body, creating an image.
At Xplore Radiology Camden, your x-ray will be performed by a qualified radiographer, who will position you and the x-ray machine to get the best possible image. The x-ray itself only takes a few minutes, and we will be able to send the results to your practitioner quickly – usually the same day.
CT scans
A CT scan is an x-ray procedure that uses special x-ray equipment to obtain detailed images of your body. CT scans are often used to diagnose problems with your bones, muscles, or organs.
At Xplore Radiology Camden, your procedure will be performed by a qualified radiographer, who will position you on the CT table and guide the machine around you. The CT scan itself only takes a few minutes, and you will be able to go home as soon as it is finished.
Ultrasounds
An ultrasound is a painless procedure that uses sound waves to create images of your body. It works by using sound waves to create images of your body. The sound waves are transmitted through a wand-like device, called a transducer, that is placed on your skin.
The transducer sends the sound waves into your body, and the echoes are converted into electrical signals. These electrical signals are then processed by a computer to create images of your body.
Ultrasounds are often used to diagnose problems with your organs, such as the liver or kidneys. At Xplore Radiology Camden, this procedure will be performed by a qualified sonographer, who will position you on the ultrasound table and apply gel to your skin.
Pregnancy Ultrasounds
A pregnancy ultrasound is a painless procedure that uses sound waves to create images of your developing baby. Ultrasounds are often used to check the health of your developing baby and to determine the due date. There is no radiation involved in the procedure, and it does not pose any risks to you or your developing baby.
At Xplore Radiology Camden, your pregnancy ultrasound will be performed by a qualified sonographer, who will conduct the scans with minimal discomfort to you.
When you book your pregnancy ultrasound appointment, you will be asked to drink water and not to empty your bladder. This is because a full bladder pushes the uterus up and makes it easier to see the baby.
It’s important to give our Camden practice a call to book your ultrasound so we can run you through any requirements prior to your scan.
Your radiology results
We send your results directly to your referring practitioner, so it’s important for you to make an appointment with them once the results have been received. This allows for the timely treatment of any issues found on your scan.

What is the difference between a CT scan and an X-RAY?
CT (Computed Tomography) scans and X-rays are both imaging techniques, but they serve different purposes. X-rays use a small dose of ionising radiation to create images of bones and certain soft tissues. On the other hand, CT scans use a series of X-ray images to produce cross-sectional images of internal organs, bones, and tissues. CT scans are more detailed and provide a more comprehensive view of the body compared to X-rays.
What are the risks of having a CT scan or X-RAY?
While both CT scans and X-rays are generally considered safe, there is a minimal risk associated with exposure to ionising radiation during these imaging procedures. However, the benefits of obtaining crucial diagnostic information often outweigh the small risk. Our skilled radiographers ensure that imaging procedures are performed with the lowest radiation dose necessary to obtain accurate results while prioritising your safety.
Are CT scans and X-rays safe?
Yes, CT scans and X-rays are considered safe when performed by trained professionals in appropriate clinical settings. At Xplore Radiology, we adhere to strict safety guidelines and utilise the latest technology to minimise radiation exposure while ensuring accurate and reliable results. Our focus is on providing high-quality imaging services with your well-being in mind.
How do I receive my CT scan or X-ray results?
After your CT scan or X-ray, our experienced radiologists will meticulously analyse the images and generate detailed reports. These reports will be promptly shared with your referring healthcare provider. Your doctor will discuss the results with you, providing essential information and any necessary follow-up care or treatment plans. Our goal is to keep you informed and actively involved in your healthcare journey.
