Imaging and Radiology

Imaging and radiology services

Patients benefit from our hospital’s broad range of modern imaging services, including:

• Computed Tomography (CT) scans: A cross-sectional medical scan of the body, which is translated on a nearby monitor. CT scans allow us to diagnose and monitor internal conditions of your organs, tissues and bones.
• Interventional radiology: Guides minimally invasive procedures, like angiography and embolization, which allows our experts to provide care that is more accurate and less painful. Patients undergoing interventional radiology have reduced scarring and shorter recovery times than with traditional surgery.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan: Combines magnets and radio waves, instead of ionizing radiation, to produce pictures of the body’s internal structures.
• Nuclear medicine: A technique where the patient receives radioactive substances called radiopharmaceuticals that produce images onto a nearby monitor. This procedure allows us to understand a patient’s internal functioning.
• Single Photo Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)-CT machine: Provides detailed imaging of the body’s physiology and functioning. It uses radioactive tracers to help us make a more accurate diagnosis by identifying problem areas with cutting-edge precision.
• Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to see internal structures. It is safe, highly accurate and often used in pregnancy. 
• X-ray and fluoroscopy: Allow us to see the body’s inner workings using radiation. X-rays are static, allowing us to accurately focus on fractures, infections and other bone-related issues . Fluoroscopy helps us understand how your body is functioning by producing moving images in real time.
