The set of procedures the department undertakes, categorised according to the equipment we provide are as follows:
3 Tesla MRI – Complete with functional, DTI, Cardiac, Perfusion, High end MSK imaging, whole body DWIBS and Advanced post processing software.
128 slice CT scan – Complete with cardiac package, liver volumetry, CT colonography, virtual endoscopy, bronchoscopy, metal artefact reduction, stereotactic biopsy, lung nodule analysis and advanced post processing software.
High end Digital Radiography – Eliminating the need for cassettes, films and re-exposure. Additional software for complete lower limb radiography and whole spine radiography.
Mammography
Orthopantomogram
Bone Mineral Densitometry – Advanced high end version.
High end Ultrasound machines with 3D, 4D software, elastography, biopsy guides, panoramic view, complete with multiple linear, sector, endoluminal and cardiac probes.
Integrated PACS, RIS and HIS – Enables integration of all modalities throughout the hospital such that the images can be viewed in the Operating rooms, Cath labs as well as bedside.
3 TESLA MRI:
The latest and most advanced MR equipment which enables the acquisition of high quality images with shorter imaging times. The following advanced imaging can be performed:
Functional MRI
Perfusion imaging
Spectroscopy
Diffusion tensor imaging
Integrated image guidance imaging
Paediatric MR imaging – High end images possible due to availability of MR-Compatible Ventilator and Boyle’s apparatus
Cardiac MRI
Renal and peripheral Angiogram without the need for intravenous contrast
Sports injury imaging
Arthrograms – Shoulder, Knee, Wrist, Hip
MR Neurography and neural plexus imaging
Metal artefact reduction sequence - MARS (for patients with implants)
Breast imaging
Foetal MRI
MR Enteroclysis
Whole body MRI (DWIBS) for cancer staging.
128 SLICE CT:
A high end Multidetector CT scanner, which has been programmed to scan with less radiation dose to the patient, achieving the delicate balance of faster scanning times and good image quality. The following advanced imaging can be performed:
Cardiac CT and CT Coronary angiography
Perfusion imaging
CT colonography
Virtual endoscopy and bronchoscopy
Lung nodule detection
Liver volumetry
Stereotactic biopsy
Integrated Image guidance imaging .
What is Radiology? Radiology, also called diagnostic imaging, allows the doctor to see inside the body through a series of several tests that take images of various parts of the body. The doctor who is capable
