KTPH Diagnostic Radiology

We provide a number of essential supporting services, namely:

  • Provide supporting service to the clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients
  • Produce both plain and specialised x-ray examinations of high diagnostic qualities
  • Provide diagnostic imaging reports and opinions in order to assist the clinicians in the management and treatment of the patients
  • Carry out interventional procedures under the guidance of our range of state-of-the-art equipment.

Bone Mineral Density Scan
- Standard for measuring bone strength or density
- To diagnose osteoporosis (porous bone) where loss of bone tissue causes bones to be brittle and more likely to break

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- Uses X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images of the body. A dye may be injected to increase the distinction between various organs or areas of the body
- Gives detailed information of the body to help the doctor diagnose and plan treatment for your condition

Interventional Radiology (IR)
Minimally invasive procedures which rely on radiological image guidance (X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound or CT) to accurately deliver diagnostic investigation (biopsy or aspiration) or therapeutic treatment (drainage or stenting)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Strong magnetic and radio frequency waves are used to create images of the body
- MRI can show certain structures of the body better than conventional X-ray imaging

Mammography
- Imaging of the breasts using a low-dose X-ray
- A primary means of detecting breast diseases

Ultrasound
- Uses high frequency sound waves to obtain real-time images of the internal body structure and organs
- Ultrasonic waves are inaudible and cause no sensation

Others
- Fluoroscopy
- General Radiography
- Intravenous Urography (IVU)
- Nuclear Medicine
