Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
FLUOROSCOPY
This real-time imaging technique uses X-rays to visualize movement within the body—often utilized during dynamic examinations such as swallowing studies or joint injections. Fluoroscopy aids physicians in diagnosing functional problems more effectively than static imaging alone could provide
BONE DENSITY SCANNING
Bone density scanning assesses bone health by measuring how much calcium and other minerals are present in your bones. This exam is essential for evaluating osteoporosis risk and overall skeletal health, particularly in older adults or those with risk factors for bone loss
MRI SCAN
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan provides high-resolution pictures of organs and tissues using powerful magnets and radio waves. This technology is pivotal in diagnosing numerous medical conditions safely without ionizing radiation exposure.
- Symptoms/Causes: Patients often undergo MRI scans due to unexplained pain, neurological symptoms, or tumors detected via other methods.
- Diagnosis: An MRI session lasts about 30-60 minutes where patients lie still while images are captured from different angles
ULTRASOUND IMAGING
Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of organs and structures inside the body. It is commonly used for examining soft tissues without the use of radiation.
- Symptoms/Causes: Ultrasound can assist in evaluating various conditions such as abdominal pain, swelling, or abnormalities found during physical exams.
- Diagnosis: The procedure typically involves placing a gel on the skin followed by a handheld device that emits sound waves to create images.
- Treatment/Management: While ultrasound itself does not treat conditions, it guides further management decisions depending on the findings observed.
- Expectations: Most patients find the procedure comfortable and it requires no downtime afterward. Images are often reviewed immediately by a radiologist for prompt analysis.
The versatility of ultrasound makes it an essential tool in various diagnostic fields, especially obstetrics and gynecology where it monitors fetal development and uterine health effectively.
CT ANGIOGRAPHY
This advanced imaging technique captures detailed images of blood vessels using computed tomography (CT). It plays an essential role in diagnosing vascular diseases and conditions such as aneurysms and arterial blockages.
- Symptoms/Causes: Indications may include chest pain, shortness of breath, or symptoms suggestive of vascular issues.
- Diagnosis: CT angiography involves injecting a contrast dye into blood vessels followed by scanning with a CT machine to visualize blood flow.
- Treatment/Management: Treatment options vary based on findings but may include medications or surgical interventions for serious blockages.
- What to Expect: The process is quick but requires some preparation regarding fasting and hydration.
This procedure offers invaluable insights that help guide effective treatment strategies for patients suffering from vascular conditions.
MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is a crucial screening tool for early detection of breast cancer. It utilizes low-energy X-rays to examine the human breast and helps in identifying abnormalities even before symptoms arise.
- Symptoms/Causes: Early signs may not present any symptoms. Risk factors include age, family history, and genetic mutations.
- Diagnosis: A mammogram is performed, followed by potential additional imaging or biopsy if abnormalities are detected.
- Treatment/Management: If detected early, treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy depending on the stage of the cancer.
- Expectations: Patients can expect minimal discomfort during the procedure and usually receive results within a few days.
Regular mammograms can save lives by catching breast cancer early when it’s most treatable. Screening schedules should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
