What is Radiology & Imaging?

Radiology is the medical specialty that uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases within the body. Our department utilizes various imaging modalities like X-rays, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and more to provide precise images of the internal structures of the body. These images help our doctors diagnose, monitor, and treat a wide range of conditions, from fractures to complex cancers.

Services Offered in Radiology & Imaging

Digital X-Rays

Our digital X-ray services offer high-quality images for diagnosing bone fractures, infections, and chest conditions. Digital X-rays are faster and provide detailed visuals for immediate analysis.

CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

CT Scans combine multiple X-ray images taken from different angles, creating cross-sectional images of the body. It is particularly useful for diagnosing internal injuries, tumours, and brain abnormalities.
Common uses: Diagnosing stroke, cancer, abdominal pain, and vascular diseases.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and tissues. It is ideal for imaging soft tissues, such as the brain, muscles, and joints.
Common uses: Diagnosing brain and spinal cord issues, musculoskeletal injuries, and heart conditions.

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to capture images of internal organs. It is a safe and non-invasive method, commonly used for pregnancy monitoring, abdominal assessments, and vascular imaging.

Mammography

Mammograms are specialized X-rays designed to detect breast cancer early. Our department offers digital mammography, which provides clear and precise imaging for better breast cancer detection.

Interventional Radiology

This is a minimally invasive technique where imaging guidance is used for procedures such as biopsies, drain placements, and vascular interventions. It allows for treatments with less pain, shorter recovery time, and fewer risks compared to open surgery.

Abdominal and Pelvic Issues: Ultrasound and CT scans help diagnose conditions such as appendicitis, kidney stones, and gallstones.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should I expect during an imaging procedure?

During most imaging procedures, you will be asked to lie still while the machine takes images. The process is usually painless, although some tests may require injections of contrast dye for better visibility.

Is radiation exposure harmful?

Modern imaging techniques use minimal radiation exposure, which is considered safe for most patients. For tests that use radiation, such as X-rays or CT scans, we ensure the lowest possible dose is used.

How long does it take to get my results?

The time frame for receiving results depends on the type of imaging performed. In most cases, results are available within 24-48 hours, with urgent cases being prioritized.

Can pregnant women undergo imaging tests?

Some imaging tests, like ultrasound, are safe for pregnant women. However, other tests, such as X-rays, may need to be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
