BRAND NEW  and  HIGH-QUALITY  IMAGING  EQUIPMENT and  Modern  Facilities.

Ø MRI
MRI (or magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a painless radiology procedure that uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures. The MRI scanner is a tube surrounded by a giant circular magnet. The patient is placed on a moveable bed that is inserted into the magnet. The magnet creates a strong magnetic field that aligns the protons of hydrogen atoms, which are then exposed to a beam of radio waves. 

This spins the various protons of the body, and they produce a faint signal that is detected by the receiver portion of the MRI scanner. The receiver information is processed by a computer, and the detailed cross-sectional (2-dimensional) and 3-dimensional images of the inside of your body without using ionizing radiation.

Check w/ your doctor before having MRI procedure if you:
  • Are pregnant, especially during the first 3 months.
  • Have tattoos or permanent (tattooed) makeup. You might feel some mild discomfort or a burning feeling on your skin from the metal in the darker inks of the tattoo.
  • Have been told you have kidney problems



Ø CT-SCAN

CT stands for Computerized Tomography.  A CT scan is a specialized X-ray test in particular, it can give good pictures of soft tissues of the body which do not show on ordinary X-ray pictures. 

CT-Scan can help doctors to visualize small nodules or tumors, which they cannot see with a plain film X-ray. CT scan images allow the doctor to look at the inside of the body. CT is noninvasive, safe, and well-tolerated. It provides a highly detailed look at many different parts of the body.

It combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body
CT scan has many uses, but is particularly well-suited to quickly examine people who may have internal injuries from car accidents or other types of trauma. A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment.


Ø ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound is safe and painless, and produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves the use of a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel placed directly on the skin. High-frequency sound waves are transmitted from the probe through the gel into the body.

The transducer collects the sounds that bounce back and a computer then uses those sound waves to create an image. Ultrasound examinations do not use ionizing radiation , thus there is no radiation exposure to the patient. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.

Ultrasound images have many uses during pregnancy. 

Ultrasounds offer many advantages:
  • They are generally painless and do not require needles, injections, or incisions.
  • Patients aren't exposed to ionizing radiation, making the procedure safe.
  • There are no known harmful effects 


Ø X-RAY

X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces images of the structures inside your body — particularly your bones. An X-ray is a common imaging test that’s been used for decades. It can help your doctor view the inside of your body without having to make an incision. This can help them diagnose, monitor, and treat many medical conditions.

X-rays are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The most familiar use of x-rays is to produce images of bones which can be checked for breaks or fractures.
Your doctor may order an X-ray to:

  • Examine an area where you’re experiencing pain or discomfort
  • Monitor the progression of a diagnosed disease
  • Check how well a prescribed treatment is working

X-ray beams pass through your body, and they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through. Dense materials, such as bone and metal, show up as white on X-rays.



Ø WOMEN’s WELLNESS
·      Elastography




·      Mammography

Mammography is a special type of x-ray imaging used to create detailed images of the breast. Mammography uses low dose x-ray; high contrast, high-resolution film; and an x-ray system designed specifically for imaging the breasts. Successful treatment of breast cancer depends on early diagnosis. Mammography plays a major role in early detection of breast cancers.


Mammography can show changes in the breast well before a woman or her physician can feel them. Once a lump is discovered, mammography can be key in evaluating the lump to determine if it is cancerous.It can be used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease. It can also be used if you have a lump or other sign of breast cancer.

When you have a mammogram, you stand in front of an x-ray machine. The person who takes the x-rays places your breast between two plastic plates. The plates press your breast and make it flat. This may be uncomfortable, but it helps get a clear picture.
