Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
CHEST X-RAY
A chest X-ray is one of the most common radiological tests performed to evaluate the lungs, heart size, bones of the chest wall, and surrounding structures. It provides valuable information quickly about respiratory or cardiac conditions needing urgent attention or routine follow-up assessment>.
FLUOROSCOPY
The fluoroscopy technique offers real-time moving X-ray imaging which helps physicians observe internal processes dynamically. It’s widely used during diagnostic procedures or therapeutic interventions requiring live visualization within the body.
BONE DENSITY SCAN (DEXA)
A Bone Density Scan measures bone mineral density to assess fracture risk and diagnose osteoporosis. Using low-dose X-rays targeted at bones such as the hip or spine provides information on bone strength important for preventive care in adults at risk of weakening bones.
- Purpose: To detect reduced bone mass before fractures occur especially in postmenopausal women and elderly individuals.
- The procedure: Quick scanning where patients lie still while an arm-like device passes over specified skeletal sites gathering density data.
- Simplified diagnosis: Results compare your measurements against standard healthy values to determine if treatment is necessary.
- Treatment guidance: Helps physicians recommend calcium/vitamin D supplementation or medications aimed at improving bone health based on severity measured by scan results.
ULTRASOUND IMAGING
Ultrasound imaging utilizes high-frequency sound waves to visualize soft tissues and organs inside the body. It is a non-invasive and radiation-free technique often used for monitoring pregnancies or evaluating abdominal and pelvic organs.
- Main applications: Includes examining the liver, kidneys, thyroid glands, blood vessels, and fetal development during pregnancy.
- No radiation exposure: Safe for repeated use and suitable even during pregnancy.
- Procedure details: A transducer device emits sound waves that bounce off tissues creating echoes converted into live images on a monitor.
- Disease detection: Helps identify cysts, tumors, fluid collections, or organ enlargement effectively.
- User experience: Generally painless with some gel applied on the skin to improve contact between transducer and body surface.
This technology plays a vital role in diagnosis and ongoing assessment across multiple medical fields with safety and convenience for patients.
CT SCAN (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY)
A CT scan provides detailed cross-sectional images of internal body structures using X-ray technology combined with computer processing. It is invaluable in diagnosing various conditions by revealing bones, organs, and tissues with high clarity.
- Uses: Commonly employed to assess trauma injuries, tumors, infections, and vascular diseases.
- How it works: The patient lies on a table that moves through a doughnut-shaped scanner capturing multiple X-ray images from different angles.
- Diagnosis: These images help radiologists identify abnormalities such as fractures, bleeding, or tumors precisely.
- Treatment planning: Results can guide surgeries or therapies by showing exact locations and sizes of issues.
- Experience during scan: It usually takes a few minutes; some scans require contrast agents to improve image quality.
This tool allows for rapid and accurate evaluation crucial for effective medical decision-making across many specialties.
MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is a specialized imaging technique used primarily for the early detection of breast cancer. It employs low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of breast tissue, helping identify abnormalities that might not be palpable during a physical exam.
- Purpose: Primarily used in screening to detect breast cancer early before symptoms arise.
- Procedure: The breast is compressed gently and imaged from different angles using X-ray technology.
- Diagnosis: Radiologists examine the images for unusual masses or calcifications indicating potential malignancies.
- Management: If abnormalities are found, further tests like ultrasound or biopsy may be recommended.
- What to expect: The process is quick, typically lasting about 20 minutes with minimal discomfort during compression.
This screening method significantly increases the chances of detecting breast cancer at an early stage, improving treatment outcomes and survival rates.
