Our Radiology practice is equipped with two (2) digital X-Rays machines and 1 modern 3D Dental X-ray (CB-CT Machine)
- X-ray services include all parts of the body and several more specialized examinations such as contrast studies of gastrointestinal, genital urinary and reproductive tracts.
- Some preparation of the patient may be required before certain studies.
- We use digital X-rays machines and usually takes less than 10 minutes and 15 minutes for conventional and fluoroscopic X-rays respectively.
- Please check with radiology when booking your examination.
Ultrasound machines are safe, with no radiation in comparison to X-rays and CT scans, they create images of body organs by emitting very high frequency, inaudible sound waves that reflect off body tissue to a respective image.
- We use 3D-ultrasound machines and usually takes less than 30 minutes
- A full urinary bladder is often useful for visualizing the pelvic organs and you may be required to drink water before a scan.
- You may also be asked to fast for 4-6 hours before the ultrasound scan. This results in avoiding some abdominal reverberation artifacts, particularly for targeted scans of upper abdominal structures.
Advancement in CT technology now makes it possible to diagnose certain disease earlier and more accurately than with other imaging modalities. We use the most advanced scanner technology available, providing images of exceptional quality and the lowest possible radiation dose. Our 64-slices scanner allows us to perform advanced 3-D reconstructions. The scan takes 30 minutes. CT Scan with or without contrast can be used by which we often need to evaluate the status of kidney function and fasting for 6-8 hours before scanning depending on the indication of disease.
