Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)
Ideal for visualizing soft tissues such as brain structures,
spinal cord abnormalities,
and joint pathologies.
CHEST X-RAY IMAGING
An essential diagnostic tool widely used to examine conditions affecting the chest area including lungs, heart size, airways, and bones of the chest wall. It provides rapid insight into respiratory problems and cardiac issues alike.
BONE DENSITY TEST (DEXA SCAN)
This test measures bone mineral density (BMD) to evaluate osteoporosis risk or monitor bone health over time. Early detection of decreased bone density can prevent fractures through timely intervention.
- Who Should Undergo Testing: Postmenopausal women, elderly patients, or individuals with risk factors like long-term steroid use or family history of osteoporosis.
- The Technique:Duel-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) uses very low dose X-rays focused on hips, spine, or forearm bones.
- Easily Performed and Quick:A painless procedure requiring the patient to lie still on an exam table for about 10-20 minutes.
- Evolving Management Options:Treatment may include lifestyle changes, supplements like calcium/vitamin D, medications to strengthen bone mass if low density is detected.
This test helps inform preventive strategies reducing fracture risks significantly in vulnerable populations through early diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
ULTRASOUND IMAGING
This non-invasive technique uses high-frequency sound waves to produce live images of organs and tissues within the body. It’s commonly employed for examining soft tissue structures without radiation exposure.
- Common Applications: Monitoring fetal development during pregnancy and assessing abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder.
- The Procedure: A transducer sends sound waves into the body; echoes are captured and displayed in real time on screen as images.
- No Radiation Risk: Safe for all patients including pregnant women; pain-free and requires no special preparation usually.
- User-dependent Accuracy: Image quality depends on operator skill and patient factors like body habitus.
The versatility of ultrasound makes it an essential diagnostic tool in many medical scenarios due to its safety profile and accessibility.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN
A CT scan combines X-ray images taken from different angles and computer processing to produce cross-sectional images of bones and soft tissues. It provides more detailed information than conventional X-rays.
- Uses: Diagnoses internal injuries, tumors, infections, and vascular diseases.
- Preparation: Patients might need fasting depending on the body part scanned; contrast agents could be administered to enhance visibility.
- Process: The patient lies on a motorized table moving through a donut-shaped scanner; scanning typically lasts a few minutes.
- Diagnosis: Radiologists interpret high-resolution images to detect abnormalities with precision.
- Safety: Exposure to radiation is minimized using advanced technology and protocols tailored to patient needs.
This imaging modality is invaluable in swiftly diagnosing conditions requiring urgent care or treatment planning.
MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING
Mammography is a critical imaging technique used predominantly for early detection of breast cancer. This screening process plays a vital role in preventative healthcare for women, especially those over 40 or with risk factors.
- Purpose: Identifies abnormalities before symptoms appear, improving treatment outcomes.
- Procedure: Low-dose X-rays capture detailed breast images in multiple views.
- Diagnosis: Radiologists evaluate the mammograms for unusual masses, calcifications, or distortions.
- Treatment and Follow-up: If irregularities are detected, further tests like ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy may be recommended.
- Patient Experience: The process is quick but may involve mild compression causing temporary discomfort.
Regular mammography screenings can significantly reduce breast cancer mortality by enabling timely intervention.
