Delivering world-class diagnostic excellence in Radiology

The Department of Radiology and Imaging boasts of using state-of-the-art and the latest equipment and provides expert diagnostic and interventional services to support the clinical needs of our hospital.

Radiology, also known as diagnostic imaging, is a group of tests that take pictures or images of various body parts.

The field is divided into two branches: 

diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology, both of which use radiant energy to diagnose and treat diseases. While there are numerous imaging exams, some of the most common are x-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, CT scans, and PET scans.

A radiologist will examine the results of an imaging test to identify a relevant image that evaluates and supports a diagnosis. 

Following the completion of imaging tests on a patient, radiologists will provide reports with their interpretations to the referring clinical doctors.

Radiology is used in every aspect of health care, including:

  • Surgery
  • Paediatrics
  • Obstetrics
  • Oncology
  • Trauma-response
  • Emergency medicine
  • Infectious disease
