Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging is a crucial branch of modern medicine that uses advanced imaging technologies to visualize the internal structures of the body. These tools help in the early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of diseases and injuries, often before symptoms appear.
Types of Imaging Services:
● Interventional Radiology – Minimally invasive procedures such as biopsies, drainage, and angioplasty guided by imaging.
● X-ray – Used to view bones, detect fractures, and evaluate lung or chest conditions.
● Ultrasound – Safe, radiation-free imaging ideal for pregnancies, abdominal organs, and soft tissue exams.
● CT Scan (Computed Tomography) – Produces detailed cross-sectional images for detecting tumors, internal bleeding, and organ conditions.
● MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) – Provides high-resolution images of soft tissues, brain, spinal cord, joints, and muscles.
● Mammography – Specialized X-ray for early breast cancer detection.
● Doppler Studies – Used to evaluate blood flow in arteries and veins.
