Diagnostic imaging uses advanced medical technology to view inside of the body - including bones, soft tissues, organs, and blood vessels - enabling clinicians to accurately diagnose the underlying causes of symptoms. It plays a vital role in monitoring treatment effectiveness, facilitating timely adjustments to optimise patient outcomes.
At the Royal Berkshire Foundation Trust, we have access to diagnostic imaging services at all sites with the Royal Berkshire Hospital and West Berkshire Community Hospital offering the most comprehensive range of imaging equipment.
Our dedicated team performs and reports over 321,000 imaging studies each year and carries out over 2,800 interventional procedures. Our team is committed to providing high quality, safe, and individualised care to each and every patient.
In recognition of our commitment to excellence, the department was awarded the Quality Standards for Imaging in November 2024, underscoring our dedication to delivering a standard of care we are proud of. We have the privilege of being awarded University Department Status by the University of Reading in recognition of our collaborative and active research programme, as well as excellence in clinical outcomes. We are proud to have received international acclaim for pioneering new treatments for osteoarthritis, reflecting our commitment to advancing medical science and patient outcomes.
We provide services to private patients across a broad spectrum of imaging modalities, including access to private interventional radiology procedures.
Our highly skilled team of consultants, radiographers, and nurses are devoted in supporting you throughout your care journey - ensuring a seamless and safe experience from initial consultation through to recovery.
Our services are delivered across advanced facilities throughout Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. At our main hospital in Reading, we offer comprehensive on-site support services, including an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Acute Medical Unit (AMU), enabling us to manage complex cases safely and provide holistic care under one roof.
