Our Services and Facilities

DXA Scanning

At Airedale the DXA scanning suite is located in the Day Hospital, not in the main Radiology department.

Mammography

At Airedale mammograms are taken in the mammography department which is in the radiology department at Airedale Hospital (location A14).

Ultrasound

An ultrasound scan uses high frequency sound waves to produce a diagnostic grey scale image. Sound waves pass into the body via a transducer (ultrasound probe) and are reflected back. The ultrasound machine then converts the reflecting sound waves into a real time image.
