Radiology Examinations

CT Scanning

The CT scanner is very quick and quiet and you are unlikely to be in the scan room for more than five to ten minutes although the scanning time itself is usually less than one minute. Read More...

Ultrasound Scanning

An Ultrasound scan generates images of the body under investigation using sound waves of a frequency above the audible range of the human ear. A small hand-held probe called a transducer which is pressed carefully against the skin surface, generates sound waves and detects any echoes reflected back off the surfaces and tissue boundaries of internal organs.

Breast Imaging

Mammography is specialised medical imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. Read More...

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is the use of real-time x-rays (similar to video) for diagnostic tests often using contrast medium such as barium or other x-ray dye. Read More...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is the name given to a technique, which builds up pictures of an internal cross-section of the part of the body under investigation. Read More...

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is the name given to the use of radioactive isotopes linked to certain chemicals to produce an image of different parts of the body. These isotopes emit gamma rays, which are similar to X-rays. The radiation does not stay in your body for very long, as the isotopes used decay within a few hours. Read More...

Plain Film Radiography

An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps clinicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionising radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. Read More...
