RADIOLOGY

The Radiology Department is integral to modern healthcare, utilizing advanced imaging techniques to accurately diagnose and treat various medical conditions. This department plays a critical role in visualizing the internal structures of the human body, offering essential insights into diseases and abnormalities.

IMAGE TECHNIQUES

Our department utilizes a wide range of imaging modalities, each tailored to provide the best view of the body’s internal systems:

  • X-ray Radiography: Commonly used for bone fractures and chest imaging.
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Ideal for soft tissue and brain scans.
  • CT (Computed Tomography) Scans: Provides detailed cross-sectional images, useful for diagnosing conditions like tumors and internal injuries.
  • Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging used for examining organs, tissues, and pregnancies.
  • Nuclear Medicine: Involves small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat conditions such as cancers and bone disorders.
  • PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scans: Helps detect cancer, heart disease, and brain disorders by highlighting areas of abnormal tissue activity.

ROLES IN RADIOLOGY

Radiologic Technologists (also called Radiographers) are responsible for operating imaging equipment and obtaining high-quality medical images.

Diagnostic Radiologists or Reporting Radiographers interpret the images, providing detailed reports on the findings. These reports are sent to the referring clinicians for further diagnosis or treatment.

Interventional Radiology

Beyond diagnosis, Interventional Radiology uses imaging technologies to guide minimally invasive procedures. These include treatments such as stent placements, biopsies, and drainage procedures, often leading to quicker recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.

Image Storage and Access

All medical images are stored securely in a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), allowing for easy access, comparison, and review by healthcare professionals across our network, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care.

Through the combination of advanced imaging techniques, expert interpretation, and secure data management, our Radiology Department provides essential support in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring a wide variety of health conditions.
