Radiology

Our Radiology department provides state-of-the-art diagnostic and interventional imaging services to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatment guidance. Our skilled radiologists utilize advanced technology to capture detailed images of the body, helping physicians make informed treatment decisions and monitor progress. With a focus on safety, efficiency, and precision, we offer a wide range of imaging options tailored to meet each patient’s needs.

Our Approach to Radiology

We believe in a patient-centered approach to radiology, prioritizing comfort, clear communication, and the most advanced imaging technology available. Our team works closely with referring physicians to ensure a seamless diagnostic process, providing timely, accurate results to guide treatment planning. We are committed to minimizing radiation exposure, using low-dose protocols and the latest equipment for safer imaging.

Radiology Services We Offer

  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Detailed imaging using magnetic fields, ideal for examining soft tissues, the brain, spine, joints, and more. MRI is non-invasive and does not use ionizing radiation.

  • CT (Computed Tomography) Scans: High-resolution imaging using X-rays to create cross-sectional views of the body, crucial for diagnosing conditions involving the chest, abdomen, brain, and skeletal system.

  • Ultrasound: Safe, non-invasive imaging using sound waves, commonly used for examining organs, blood flow, and prenatal care. Ultrasound is painless and ideal for real-time imaging.

  • X-Ray Imaging: A quick, non-invasive method for viewing bones, joints, and chest, essential for diagnosing fractures, lung conditions, and more.

  • Mammography: Specialized imaging for breast tissue, aiding in the early detection of breast cancer and other abnormalities. Our mammography services include both traditional and 3D mammograms.

  • Interventional Radiology: Minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for treating various conditions, including biopsies, angiograms, and catheter-based treatments.

  • Fluoroscopy: Real-time imaging technique used for guiding certain procedures, such as barium studies and joint injections, to visualize movement within the body.

  • Nuclear Medicine: Imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat conditions, such as thyroid disorders and certain cancers.

Advanced Imaging Technology for Precision Care

Our radiology department is equipped with the latest in imaging technology, allowing us to provide clearer, more detailed images while reducing scan times and radiation exposure. We continually update our equipment and techniques to offer the most effective and safe imaging options for our patients.
