Imaging & Nuclear Medicine

Our imaging services encompass a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that utilize various imaging modalities to visualize internal body structures, organs, and tissues. These services play a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of various medical conditions.

Here's an overview of pathology services offered in a cancer hospital:

• X-ray (Radiography):
  • General X-rays: Used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, abdomen, and extremities.
  • Fluoroscopy: Real-time X-ray imaging used for procedures such as barium studies, joint injections, and gastrointestinal exams.
• Computed Tomography (CT):
  • CT Scans: Provide detailed cross-sectional images of the body, useful for diagnosing cancers.

• Ultrasound Imaging:
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize organs, blood vessels, and to guide biopsies or needle aspirations (FNAC).
  • Doppler Ultrasound: Measures blood flow and detects abnormalities in blood vessels, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or carotid artery stenosis.
• Nuclear Medicine:
  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET): Imaging technique used to detect metabolic activity in tissues, helping diagnose cancer.
  • Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT): Similar to PET but uses different tracers to visualize organ function and blood flow.
• Interventional Radiology (IR):
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: IR procedures involve using imaging guidance (such as fluoroscopy, CT, or ultrasound) to perform interventions such as tumor ablation, embolization, and biopsy.
• Mammography:
  • Breast Imaging: Mammography is a specialized X-ray technique used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Digital mammography and tomosynthesis (3D mammography) are advanced techniques that offer improved detection and diagnostic accuracy.
• 2D Echo:
  • Echocardiography, a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the structure and function of the heart in real-time using ultrasound technology.
  • 2D echo services play a crucial role in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of cardiovascular diseases, providing clinicians with detailed information on cardiac structure and function in a safe and non-invasive manner.
