We are committed to offering personalized, patient-centered imaging services in a compassionate and supportive environment.
Comprehensive Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Services
Our Radiology & Biomedical Imaging department offers a wide range of imaging services to meet the diverse diagnostic and therapeutic needs of our patients:
• X-ray Imaging:
Fast and effective imaging for evaluating bones, chest, abdomen, and other body structures. X-rays are often the first step in diagnosing fractures, infections, lung conditions, and other common health issues.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scans:
Advanced cross-sectional imaging that provides detailed views of internal organs, bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues.
CT scans are used for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as cancer, heart disease, trauma, and infections.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
High-resolution imaging that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues.
MRI is particularly useful for imaging the brain, spine, joints, and soft tissues, and for diagnosing conditions such as tumors, neurological disorders, and musculoskeletal injuries.
• Ultrasound:
Safe and non-invasive imaging that uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs and blood flow.
Ultrasound is commonly used for evaluating the abdomen, pelvis, heart (echocardiography), blood vessels, and during pregnancy to monitor fetal development.
• Mammography:
Specialized imaging for breast cancer screening and diagnosis, using low-dose X-rays to detect early signs of breast cancer.
We offer digital mammography and 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) for enhanced image clarity and accuracy.
• Nuclear Medicine:
Imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat various conditions, including heart disease, cancer, and thyroid disorders.
Nuclear medicine scans, such as PET and SPECT, provide detailed information about the function of organs and tissues.
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans:
Advanced imaging that combines nuclear medicine with CT to produce detailed images of metabolic activity in the body.
PET scans are often used for cancer detection, staging, and monitoring treatment response.
• Interventional Radiology (IR):
Minimally invasive procedures performed under image guidance, such as X-ray, ultrasound, or CT.
Our interventional radiologists specialize in treating conditions like vascular diseases, tumors, and pain management using techniques such as angiography, embolization, and image-guided biopsies.
