Our Radiology Department offers an extensive radiology service to all our patients, either as in-patients or as outpatients across the country and in particular the Dublin North East Region. St. Joseph’s Hospital also provides radiology services. And we provide outpatient ultrasound services in the Omni Park shopping centre.
Our department provides expertise in the full range of specialist diagnostic imaging and interventional services in a caring, safe and efficient environment. The service is provided by a multidisciplinary team of radiologists, radiographers, nurses, physicists, administration and support staff who work together to provide quality patient care.
As a teaching hospital, the Department has close links with RCSI and UCD to support clinical placements for radiography and medical students throughout their training. The department also has a strong commitment to research and is currently involved in many research projects and are proud to be have been recognised with national awards for patient care quality improvement projects such as:
Beaumont radiology also run the national Stroke Thrombectomy Service, using state of the art biplane interventional systems and imaging technology such as X-ray, CT or ultrasound to examine patients internally and perform minimally invasive procedures.
The radiology department only accepts GP referrals via Healthlink for patients with a home address in Dublin 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, 17, North County Dublin and Fingal (except areas served by Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown).
The department operates a walk-in service where patients can walk in with their GP referral letter and get a chest X-ray without an appointment between 08:30 to 15:00, Monday to Friday.

Interventional Radiology uses imaging technology such as X-ray, CT or ultrasound to examine patients internally and perform minimally invasive procedures. [READ MORE]
We use AI tools to complement human expertise and improve accuracy and efficiency in our department. Currently, AI provides additional analysis of CT chest scans to help diagnose lung cancer. But all decisions relating to diagnosis and treatment are made by human healthcare professionals. The radiologist (doctor) analysing the CT is responsible for the final report. [READ MORE]
