Our team of dedicated radiologists brings extensive expertise to ensure the highest level of patient care, supported by cutting-edge technology.

Our radiologists specialise in various subspecialties, including diagnostic imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, PET, SPECT, ultrasound, advanced molecular targeted imaging, and interventional therapies. Our state-of-the-art 3 Tesla MRI scanner represents the latest in magnetic resonance imaging technology.

The Dual Source and Dual Energy 768-slice CT scanner is one of the most advanced in the country. This cutting-edge technology uses two X-ray sources and detectors simultaneously, providing multiple applications, including diagnosing heart disease (CT coronary angiograms), lung disease, and detecting tumours. Additionally, it offers CT neuro perfusion studies and CT neurovascular angiograms, delivering precise diagnoses, particularly for stroke patients.

FAQ's

Mammography involves using low-dose X-rays to examine the human breast and serves as both a diagnostic and screening tool. It aids in the early detection of breast cancer by identifying characteristic masses and/or microcalcifications.

The BAFT procedure is performed to assess digestive function and detect abnormalities like ulcers, tumours, or inflammation in the oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. This procedure is typically recommended for patients experiencing difficulty swallowing, chest or abdominal pain, reflux, unexplained vomiting, severe indigestion, or blood in the stool, which may indicate internal bleeding.

Preparation requirements vary by imaging procedure. Some scans require specific preparations, while others do not. Examples include diet restrictions before fluoroscopy, avoiding certain medications before interventional procedures, not using deodorant before a mammogram, and having a full bladder for an ultrasound. You will be informed of any special preparations when you schedule your appointment. If you are unsure, please double-check. Following these instructions carefully is essential, as failing to do so may require rescheduling or repeating the scan.
