X-Ray & Fluoroscopy

X-Ray images, or radiograph, are commonly
taken for assessing injured limbs or exam-
ining the chest for possible infection. The
ability of x-rays to penetrate tissues and
bones varies according to the composition
and mass of what is being imaged. Bone,
which contains calcium, absorbs most of
the radiation and results in white imag-
es on the x-ray film. The lungs, which are
filled with air, allow nearly all x-rays to pass
through and strike the film or detector re-
sulting in a black image.

Our X-Ray images are generated with Digital
Flat Panel Detector which are more sensi-
tive than traditional film and lower radia-
tion exposure to patients. You will not feel
any discomfort during the procedure.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe,
painless and powerful diagnostic imaging
test that uses a strong magnetic field and
radio waves to produce images of many of
the body’s internal structures. There is no
radiation involved making MRI safe for even
pregnant women. Scans are typically take
20 to 30 minutes.

• Model: MAGNETOM Essenza
Features:
• 1.5 Tesla strength

Mammogram

A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray of the
breast using a specialised equipment.
Mammograms are performed for two major
reasons. First, in women with breast symp-
toms, to detect a possible cause for their
symptoms (a diagnostic mammogram), and
secondly, to detect early signs of breast
cancer in women who do not have breast
symptoms (a screening mammogram). The
x-ray dose from a mammogram is very low.
It has not been proven to cause any harmful
effects. An ultrasound of the breast is also
performed after the mammogram is taken.

Computerised Tomography (CT)

The new generation of Low Radiation Dose
Computed Tomography (CT) uses low levels
of radiation to help diagnose and monitor a
wide array of conditions while minimising
the impact of radiation. A CT scanner has
detectors which move around the body in
a circular motion. This allows detailed im-
ages to be built up as you move through the
scanner.
The CT scans are cross-sectional views of
the body. Feeding this data into and a pow-
erful computer workstation, we can build
three dimensional images showing the soft
tissues, bones and blood vessels, and see
parts of the body, which are difficult to view
by any other method. Most CT examinations
are simple, fast and painless.

Bone Mineral Densitometer
(DXA/DEXA)

DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry)
is used to measure bone mineral density
(BMD). The technique uses very low dose
x-rays and is a safe and painless procedure.
The entire procedure lasts approximate-
ly 20 minutes. Low bone density or osteo-
porosis is a major determinant of fracture
risk and is common, particularly in women
following menopause. Loss of bone density
may also be accelerated in conditions af-
fecting the liver and thyroid gland and by
certain medications, in particular, steroids.
Measurement of the spine and hip is rou-
tinely performed and measurement of the
forearm may also be undertaken if required.

tiometry

Nerve Root Sleeve Injection

Selective nerve root sleeve injections can be
an effective treatment to relieve pain from
herniated disks and irritated or compressed
spinal nerves. They can be diagnostic and/
or therapeutic in that they can be used to
determine which nerve is causing symp-
toms, as well as providing pain relief at the
problematic site. CT is used as a guide to
the injection site and we use an advanced
robot to position the needle far more accu-
rately than humanly possible, drastically
improving the results while minimising the
side effects.

Ultrasound & Colour Doppler

Ultrasound is a safe and widely used im-
aging technique. Ultrasound produces de-
tailed pictures of the body in real time us-
ing high frequency sound waves which are
produced by a special ultrasound probe,
called a transducer. The frequency of these
sound waves is higher than that detected by
the human ear and when they are reflected
by a part of the body they are detected by
the probe and used to create images that
can be displayed on a monitor. Because
they are captured in real time they appear
as moving images not as static or still ones
thus enhancing the diagnostic capability of
the test. Ultrasound has no known harmful
effects and can be used to image a variety
of conditions including pregnancy, gall-
stones and varicose veins. Ultrasound can
also be used to measure blood flow through
vessels, when it is called a colour flow Dop-
pler or Duplex scan.

Dental X-Ray

These are special x-rays of the lower face,
teeth and jaws. An OPG provides a pan-
oramic view of the mouth, teeth and bones
of the upper and lower jaws. The Lat Ceph
results in a lateral or sideways view of the
face.
Cone Beam CT is new technique, which is
mainly used to assess the jaws and teeth. Its
main advantage compared to OPGs and oth-
er dental x-rays is that it provides three-di-
mensional imaging (similar to conventional
CT, but with a lower radiation dose). Our
Cone Beam CT system, provides high defi-
nition, three dimensional imaging to com-
plement our other dental imaging services
including OPGs and conventional CT scan-
ning. Cone Beam CT offers 3-D evaluation of
dental anatomy and pathology: for example
impacted teeth, pre-implant assessment,
orthodontic assessment, and assessment
for jaw and face surgery.
