Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
BONE DENSITOMETRY (DEXA SCAN)
This test measures bone mineral density (BMD) to assess the risk of osteoporosis—a condition leading to fragile bones prone to fractures. It’s especially recommended for postmenopausal women and older adults concerned about bone health.
MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is an X-ray based screening tool specifically designed for early detection of breast abnormalities. It remains essential in reducing mortality rates from breast cancer through timely identification of suspicious changes before symptoms develop.
- Main Purpose: Screening asymptomatic women as well as evaluating palpable lumps or nipple discharge detected during clinical exams.
- The Diagnostic Procedure: The breast is compressed between plates while low-dose X-rays capture detailed images highlighting any tissue irregularities such as calcifications or masses.
- Treatment Implications:If abnormalities appear,mammography findings assist doctors in deciding further tests like biopsy or ultrasound evaluation for confirmation before treatment planning begins
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY PROCEDURES
This subspecialty involves minimally invasive treatments guided by imaging technologies such as fluoroscopy, CT, or ultrasound. These procedures aim to diagnose or treat conditions with reduced risk compared to open surgery.
- Conditions Addressed: Includes angioplasty to open narrowed blood vessels, embolization to block abnormal bleeding vessels or tumors, drainages of abscesses, and biopsy sampling under image guidance.
- The Diagnostic Component: Real-time imaging ensures precision in targeting affected areas while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
- Treatment Benefits: Faster recovery times, less pain post-procedure, and often outpatient settings make these preferred options where applicable.
- PATIENT Expectations: Procedures typically involve local anesthesia; risks are low but informed consent about potential complications like bleeding or infection is required before intervention.
This approach revolutionizes treatment by combining diagnostic accuracy with therapeutic efficacy in less invasive ways.
ULTRASOUND IMAGING
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to generate real-time images of soft tissues and organs. This method is widely regarded as safe due to its non-invasive nature and absence of radiation exposure.
- Spectrum of Use: Frequently utilized for monitoring fetal development during pregnancy, assessing abdominal organs, thyroid nodules, or guiding biopsies.
- Diagnostic Approach: A handheld transducer is moved over the skin after applying gel; it emits sound waves that reflect off structures creating live images on screen.
- Treatment Role: Assists clinicians in diagnosis confirmation and may also help in interventional procedures like fluid drainage or needle placement.
- User Experience: Painless with no known side effects; preparation might include fasting depending on the area examined.
This versatile tool offers accessible insights crucial for timely diagnosis across many age groups.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)
MRI employs strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues without ionizing radiation. It is highly effective for evaluating soft tissues including the brain, spinal cord, and joints.
- Clinical Indications: Used when patients present with neurological symptoms, unexplained musculoskeletal pain, or suspected soft tissue abnormalities.
- How Diagnosis Is Made: Patients are positioned inside a large tube-like machine; the scan duration varies but generally lasts 20-60 minutes while remaining still is vital for image clarity.
- Treatment Planning: MRI findings aid specialists in crafting treatment strategies ranging from conservative management to surgical interventions.
- What Patients Should Know: No radiation exposure occurs; however, metal implants or devices can affect eligibility — informing your physician before the test is important.
MRI provides unparalleled insight into complex body regions, facilitating early detection and tailored care plans.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN
A CT scan is a specialized imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing various conditions by providing more information than standard X-rays.
- Uses and Symptoms: Often employed to detect tumors, infections, bone fractures, or vascular diseases when symptoms like persistent pain or abnormal lab results arise.
- Diagnostic Process: The patient lies on a motorized table that moves through a doughnut-shaped scanner; multiple images are taken quickly with minimal discomfort.
- Treatment and Management: Results guide doctors in planning surgeries, biopsies, or monitoring disease progression.
- Patient Experience: The procedure is non-invasive and usually completed within minutes; contrast agents may be used for clearer images but allergies should be discussed beforehand.
This imaging modality offers precise visualization essential for prompt and accurate medical decisions.
