KTPH Diagnostic Radiology
Overview
We provide a number of essential supporting services, namely:
- Provide supporting service to the clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients
- Produce both x-ray and advanced imaging of high diagnostic qualities
- Provide diagnostic imaging reports and expert interpretations to support clinicians in effectively managing and treating 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 fracture
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- A CT scan is a special type of X-ray that takes detailed pictures of the inside of your body from different angles. Sometimes, a contrast dye is used to highlight certain areas, making organs and blood vessels easier to see.
- Provides detailed information of the body to help the doctor diagnose and plan treatment for your condition
Interventional Radiology (IR)
This is a medical specialty where doctors use imaging techniques like X-rays or ultrasound to guide tiny instruments inside the body to treat various conditions. Instead of large surgeries, they make small cuts or use needles to perform procedures, which often means less pain and faster recovery. It’s a minimally invasive way to diagnose and treat problems safely and effectively.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- This is a scan that uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body
- It helps doctors see organs, tissues, and bones clearly without using X-rays
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
