Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY PROCEDURES
This subspecialty combines radiologic imaging techniques with minimally invasive procedures guided by real-time visualization tools such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound to diagnose and treat various diseases safely without large incisions.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)
MRI is an advanced imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves instead of ionizing radiation to produce detailed images of soft tissues throughout the body.
DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY (X-RAY)
X-ray radiography is a foundational diagnostic test that uses electromagnetic radiation to produce images highlighting bone structures and certain soft tissues within the body.
- Simplicity & Speed: Quick procedure often performed in outpatient settings to evaluate fractures, chest infections, or joint issues.
- Anatomical Detail: Helps detect bone fractures, lung diseases like pneumonia or tuberculosis, and dental problems effectively.
- Dose Management: Modern digital systems reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional film methods while providing enhanced image quality. User Accessibility:: Widely available with minimal preparation required; suitable as an initial imaging modality in many clinical situations.
ULTRASOUND IMAGING
The ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging method utilizing high-frequency sound waves to visualize soft tissues, organs, and blood flow inside the body without radiation exposure.
- Applications: Commonly used during pregnancy as well as for assessing abdominal organs, thyroid gland, breast lumps, and vascular structures.
- Painless Procedure: A handheld transducer is moved over the skin surface after applying gel to ensure good contact and clear images.
- Doppler Ultrasound: Provides additional information regarding blood flow velocity and direction within vessels which helps diagnose blockages or clots.
- No Radiation Exposure: Safe for repeated use including pediatric and pregnant patients due to its non-ionizing nature.
This modality offers real-time imaging useful for guiding biopsies and monitoring disease progression or response to treatment effectively and safely.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN
A CT scan leverages X-ray technology combined with computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Uses: Effective for detecting tumors, infections, internal injuries, and abnormalities.
- Procedure: Patients lie on a table that slides into a doughnut-shaped scanner where multiple X-ray images are taken rapidly.
- Disease Detection: Particularly valuable in evaluating conditions involving the chest, abdomen, pelvis, brain, and bones.
- Safety: Uses higher radiation doses than standard X-rays; however, benefits often outweigh risks when clinically justified.
This scanning technique offers detailed visualization essential for accurate diagnosis and guiding therapeutic decisions across many medical specialties.
MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING
Mammography is an essential imaging tool used primarily to detect early signs of breast cancer in women, often before symptoms develop.
- Purpose: It serves as a preventive screening to identify abnormal growths or microcalcifications in breast tissue.
- Process: Low-dose X-rays capture detailed images of the breasts from multiple angles for accurate assessment.
- Indications: Recommended annually or biennially for women above 40 years or those with high risk factors.
- Preparation: Minimal preparation; avoiding deodorants or powders on the day can improve image clarity.
- Follow-up: Suspicious findings may require additional imaging or biopsy for confirmation.
This screening method plays a vital role in reducing breast cancer mortality by enabling early treatment and better outcomes.
