Outpatient X-ray

What is an X-Ray?

Plain radiography, or X-Ray, is the most commonly used form of diagnostic imaging. It uses small amounts of radiation that are passed through a selected part of the body to produce an image on film.

How to get an appointment for an X-Ray?

GP patient: To get an appointment for an x-ray your GP must send the referral to us via Healthlink.  The referrals are reviewed and an appointment letter will be sent in the post to your address. 

Out-Patient: If you have attended a Consultant appointment and they have requested an x-ray for you, an appointment letter will be sent in the post to your address.

Where will my X-ray be done?

X-rays are performed in 3 locations:
-    Radiology department, lower ground floor of Beaumont Hospital
-    X-ray department in St Joseph’s Hospital 
-    X-ray department OMNI shopping centre
Your appointment letter will clearly state the location of your x-ray.

Walk in Service for GP referred Chest X-rays

The Radiology Department in Beaumont Hospital also operates a walk-in service for GP referred chest x-rays only.  Patients can ‘walk in’ with their GP referral letter and get a chest x-ray without an appointment between the hours of 08:30 to 15:00 only, Monday to Friday.
