Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

About us

The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh radiology department is a vital part of modern medical care, delivering comprehensive imaging services to assist healthcare teams in diagnosing and managing patient conditions. With a commitment to quality and patient-centred care, this radiology unit uses a variety of advanced imaging techniques including X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures. Their expertise extends beyond standard imaging to specialised image-guided procedures such as biopsies, joint injections, and vessel imaging, which play a crucial role in both diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Dedicated to supporting patients throughout their imaging journey, the department provides clear information about what to expect from scans, where they are carried out, and how to access results efficiently. Their experienced team works closely with general practitioners and hospital clinicians to ensure timely and accurate imaging that answers specific clinical questions. The department values clear communication, patient comfort, and the delivery of high-quality diagnostic services. They also offer practical support for appointment management, including rescheduling and cancellations, to accommodate patient needs. As part of NHS Lothian, the radiology service aligns with organisational values promoting collaboration, compassion, and excellence in healthcare delivery. Patients benefit from a multidisciplinary approach and access to state-of-the-art imaging technology that enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. This radiology service is committed to continuous improvement and maintaining high standards to support optimal patient outcomes.
