Treatment & Procedures
CT scans, or Computed Tomography scans, are a powerful imaging tool that combines X-ray technology with advanced computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a highly advanced imaging technique that uses powerful magnets, radio waves, and computer technology to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use radiation, making it a safe and effective option for diagnosing a wide range of conditions involving soft tissues,…
X-rays are one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in medicine, providing quick and detailed images of the inside of the body. They are especially effective for visualizing bones, joints, and certain soft tissues, helping to identify fractures, infections, tumours, or lung conditions like pneumonia. X-rays use a controlled amount of radiation…
Fluoroscopy is an advanced imaging technique that provides real-time, moving images of the inside of the body using X-rays. It allows doctors to observe the motion of organs and the flow of fluids in the body, making it particularly useful for diagnosing and guiding various medical procedures. Unlike traditional X-rays, which provide static images,…
Ultrasound is a non-invasive, safe imaging technique that uses sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues, organs, and blood vessels, with no radiation exposure. It’s commonly used for monitoring pregnancies, diagnosing abdominal or pelvic conditions, and assessing organ health. Doppler ultrasound, a specialized form of ultrasound, helps…
Interventional radiology is a specialized branch of radiology that uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat various medical conditions, often as an alternative to traditional surgery. By guiding instruments such as catheters, needles, and wires through the body using imaging technologies like CT scans and X-rays, interventional radiologists…
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans are a non-invasive, highly accurate method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). This simple procedure uses low-dose X-rays to assess bone strength and detect conditions like osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. By focusing on areas such as the spine, hips,…
Radiotherapy planning is a crucial step in the treatment of cancer, ensuring that radiation is delivered precisely to the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Radiotherapy Planning CT/MRI combines advanced CT or MRI imaging techniques to create detailed 3D maps of the tumor and nearby structures. These images are used to develop…
MR Urography is a specialized MRI technique used to visualize the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This non-invasive procedure helps in the evaluation of various conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract tumors, structural abnormalities, or blockages. By providing detailed images, MR Urography allows for a comprehensive…
