Radiology Diagnostic Imaging
 
Radiology is the core of a hospital and is the eye into the workings of the human body.

Radiology uses many forms of medical equipment, for example:
  • Bone Density/Osteoporosis is used to measure the density of your bones to note any degeneration of bone mass.
  • Conventional x-ray uses x-rays that are able to penetrate through various thicknesses of solids and to act on photographic film. These photographs are used to check for broken bones, obstructions, abdominal and chest studies.
  • CT Scan (Computerized Tomography) is an x-ray technique that uses a special scanner and computer to create cross-sectional images of the parts of your body being examined. Unlike standard x-rays, which take a picture of the whole structure being examined, CT has the ability to image that same structure one “slice” at a time.
  • Interventional Radiology allows for biopsies and other minimally invasive procedures to be performed without the need for surgery in order to diagnosis certain conditions.
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses strong magnets, radio frequency and a computer to sees right through the bone and clearly picture soft tissue (muscles, fat, and internal organ). This information is especially valuable for helping in the diagnosis of brain and nervous system disorder, certain cancers and musculo-skeletal problems. MRI’s can also be used to
    diagnosis other conditions and monitor the success of treatment for disease.
  • Mammography is an x-ray whose sole use is for imaging the breast. It is used to detect masses or other abnormalities in the breast.
  • Nuclear Medicine is a scan in which a very small, safe amount of radioactive material is injected or swallowed and travels to the intended organ. A special gamma camera records this radioactivity in the form of images. These painless procedures are used to detect and diagnosis diseases of the thyroid, bone, lung, liver, gallbladder and heart.
  • Sonogram/Ultra-sound – If you have ever shouted and heard an echo, you have already been exposed to the theory of ultra-sound. Sonogram deals with sound waves and is able to show a picture in motion. This particular medical equipment is mostly used for heart, obstetrics and the abdominal region for kidney, liver spleen, gall bladder.
