I think it's an x-ray room. The wall with the window for the radiologist to look through and the arm above the table.

I think you are right. It’s weird though, that arm above the table doesn’t look like it has an X-ray tube on it, but the little control room appears to have a generator in it.

Strange to have chairs in the room. Minor correction, it would usually be a radiographer not a radiologist who took x-rays. However if this was a screening room (a room that does imaging with a fluoroscopic unit), it would usually be a radiologist who did it.

I was wondering if I had mixed up radiographer and radiographer.

The chairs are definitely interesting. I can't think of any rooms like that where family or friends have been allowed. Maybe we're both right and it's a multipurpose "hospital" room? Might make sense for a small town that needs a doctor's office with basic exam capabilities.
