The work of the department The Radiology department at UPHT, Plymouth is a large teaching department responsible for specialist registrar training. Derriford Hospital is a large Teaching Hospital providing secondary and tertiary care to a population of 1.7 million. It is a busy Trauma centre. The main x-ray service is accommodated within two large adjacent departments, and a third smaller one in A&E.

The department is a development site for GE CT and with GE runs international cardiac training. There is CT scanning within the fluoroscopy suite providing a CTC service. Radiotherapy planning is on a separate oncology unit scanner.

All GE CT scanners are capable of performing CT angiography and we have CT perfusion capacity on 5 of the 6 scanners. MRI There are 5 MRI scanners on site (2 Siemens Vida 3T, Siemens 1.5 -Sola, 1.5T Philips Integra Nova and Philips Integra 1.5T modular unit). A 3rd 3T scanner available as a joint project with Plymouth University (Siemens Prisma). The MRI service operates an extended working day from 8am to 8pm with a radiographic shift-system.

We have occasional visiting mobile MRI units. Fluoroscopy There are two fluoroscopy suites (one conventional, one C-arm); these are scheduled for upgrade and refurbishment in 2022/23. Intervention The department includes a newly installed Siemens Icono Biplane interventional suite and two Phillips interventional suites; one of which includes a 3D rotational angiography facility and bi-planar imaging. Both Philips machines are in the process of being replaced with a Siemens Icono Biplane machine and and Artis Q monoplane machine.

All interventional suites have access to dedicated ultrasound machines. Ultrasound The ultrasound department is based within x-ray West and provides a full non obstetric diagnostic and therapeutic service, including contrast, fusion, elastography and intervention. There are 10 ultrasound examination rooms within the University Hospitals footprint, all equipped with modern high specification machines (Canon), as well as 2 high spec portable machines. Ultrasound is also provided in peripheral sites including the Radiology Academy and Cumberland centre.

X-Ray In addition to two adjacent departments at Derriford Hospital, there are satellite x-ray departments at Liskeard, Tavistock, Launceston, Kingsbridge and two small departments in Plymouth at Mount Gould Hospital and the Cumberland Centre. These satellite departments are staffed by radiographic and sonographic staff only. Nuclear Medicine Nuclear Medicine is in close proximity to the Main X-ray Department and is run by a full-time Consultant in Nuclear Medicine and a full-time Consultant Radiologist. The Department participates in the training of Radiology Specialist Registrars.

The service is well equipped and is a phase-3 test site for GE imaging equipment. Plymouth is the site for static Peninsula PET provision in collaboration with InHealth.
