  Diagnostic Imaging Services

​

1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):

Utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body. Ideal for imaging the brain, spinal cord, joints, and soft tissues.

 

2. Computed Tomography (CT) Scan:

Combines X-ray equipment with computers to create cross-sectional images of the body. It is particularly useful for diagnosing diseases in the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and for detecting vascular diseases and cancers.

 

3. X-Ray:

Uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of the bones and other structural aspects of the body. It is commonly used for detecting bone fractures, infections, or abnormalities.

 

4. Ultrasound:

Employs high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It is frequently used in obstetrics, cardiology, and to examine abdominal and pelvic organs.

 

5. Mammography:

A specialized type of imaging that uses a low-dose X-ray system for the examination of the breasts, used primarily to detect early breast cancer.

 

6. Bone Densitometry:

Measures bone mineral density and assesses the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

 

7. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan:

Shows metabolic or biochemical activity in tissues and organs, helping to detect cancer and monitor its treatment.

 

8. Interventional Radiology:

Offers minimally invasive, image-guided treatment options for a variety of conditions, reducing recovery time and improving outcomes.

 

  Tools and Technology

• High-field MRI Machines: Provide superior image quality for a variety of diagnostic applications.

• Multi-detector CT Scanners: Offer rapid acquisition of images with high resolution, facilitating faster and more accurate diagnoses.
