Services

Specialised care and treatments offered

FLUOROSCOPY

Fluoroscopy

This imaging technique produces live X-ray videos enabling real-time visualization of internal structures during diagnostic examinations or therapeutic procedures. It assists specialists across various medical fields.

  • Causes / Symptoms: Fluoroscopy is indicated when dynamic assessment of bodily functions—such as swallowing difficulties , joint movement , or catheter placement—is needed .
  • Diagnosis: Constant X-ray images allow observation of motion within organs like the gastrointestinal tract or vascular system .
  • Treatment / Management: It aids interventional procedures such as stent insertions , biopsies , or barium studies by providing visual guidance .
  • What to Expect: Patients may undergo contrast agent intake; sessions vary but usually last between 10-30 minutes depending on complexity .

Fluoroscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy with direct observation capabilities minimising guesswork during treatments requiring precision .

BONE DENSITOMETRY (DEXA SCAN)

Bone Densitometry (DEXA Scan)

This test measures bone mineral density (BMD) to assess the strength of bones and risk for osteoporosis-related fractures. It is crucial for preventive care in patients prone to bone loss disorders.

  • Causes / Symptoms: Bone densitometry is often done when there are risk factors like menopause , long-term steroid use , or history of fractures .
  • Diagnosis: The DEXA scan calculates bone density typically at the hip or spine using low-dose X-rays .
  • Treatment / Management: Results guide interventions including calcium/vitamin D supplementation , lifestyle changes , or medications to strengthen bones .
  • What to Expect: The procedure is quick , painless , involving lying on a table while a scanner passes over specific sites .

Regular monitoring helps catch bone deterioration early , preventing debilitating fractures through timely management .

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. It excels at differentiating soft tissues without exposure to ionizing radiation.

  • Causes/Symptoms: MRI helps evaluate neurological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases based on presenting symptoms.
  • Diagnosis: The technique offers high-contrast resolution making it ideal for assessing brain lesions, spinal cord disorders, joint abnormalities, and tumors.
  • Treatment/Management: MRI findings assist clinicians in planning surgeries or targeted therapies accurately by delineating disease extent.
  • What to Expect:The scan usually lasts 30–60 minutes; patients must remain still inside a narrow tube which can produce loud noises during image acquisition.

MRI remains an indispensable tool when precise soft tissue characterization is required without radiation risks involved with other imaging methods.

ULTRASOUND IMAGING

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs and tissues within the body. It’s widely used because it is safe, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation exposure.

  • Causes/Symptoms: Common uses include examining abdominal pain, monitoring pregnancies, evaluating soft tissue masses or guiding biopsies.
  • Diagnosis: Ultrasound allows visualization of organ structure and blood flow dynamics using Doppler techniques.
  • Treatment/Management: Although primarily diagnostic, ultrasound assists in procedures like fluid drainage or needle biopsies under imaging guidance.
  • What to Expect: The procedure involves applying a gel on the skin surface while a probe sends sound waves; it’s generally painless and quick.

This modality supports immediate bedside assessment in many clinical settings due to its accessibility and safety profile.

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

A CT scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional views of the body. It provides detailed information about internal organs, bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels.

  • Causes/Symptoms: CT scans help evaluate symptoms like unexplained pain, trauma injuries, or suspected tumors.
  • Diagnosis: This imaging detects abnormalities such as fractures, infections, tumors, or vascular diseases with high precision.
  • Treatment/Management: Findings from CT scans guide treatment planning including surgery, radiation therapy, or medical management.
  • What to Expect: The scan is painless but may require lying still inside a large doughnut-shaped machine; contrast dye might be used for better visualization.

This modality is critical in acute care and complex diagnostics due to its speed and accuracy in visualizing internal structures.

MAMMOGRAPHY

Mammography

Mammography is a specialized medical imaging technique used primarily for the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases, especially breast cancer. It uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast tissue.

  • Causes/Symptoms: Mammography is recommended for asymptomatic women as a preventive screening tool and for those with symptoms like lumps, pain, or nipple discharge.
  • Diagnosis: This procedure captures high-resolution images that radiologists analyze for abnormalities such as calcifications or masses.
  • Treatment/Management: While mammography itself is diagnostic, it guides further steps like biopsy or ultrasound if suspicious findings are present.
  • What to Expect: The process involves compressing the breast between two plates for clear images; some discomfort may occur but it is brief.

Early identification through mammography can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates in breast cancer. Regular screenings are encouraged based on age and risk factors.
