Measles

Since 2022, measles activity has been slowly increasing globally, with large outbreaks ongoing in multiple countries across South Asia and Africa. In 2023, there have been several measles outbreaks across London which causes additional risks to neighbouring areas where there is low uptake such as Kent and Medway.

Coronavirus Notice

X-Ray

doctor examining an x-rayAn X-ray is a widely used diagnostic test to examine the inside of the body. X-rays are a very effective way of detecting problems with bones, such as fractures. They can also often identify problems with soft tissue, such as pneumonia or breast cancer.

If you have a X-ray, you will be asked to lie on a table or stand against a surface so that the part of your body being X-rayed is between the X-ray tube and the photographic plate.

An X-ray is usually carried out by a radiographer, a healthcare professional who specialises in using imaging technology, such as X-rays and ultrasound scanners.

You can find out more about x-ray tests, how they are performed, their function and the risks by visiting the NHS Choices website.
