A CT scan has many uses, but it’s particularly well-suited for diagnosing diseases and evaluating injuries. The imaging technique can help your doctor:

• Diagnose infections, muscle disorders, and bone fractures
• Pinpoint the location of masses and tumors (including cancer)
• Study the blood vessels and other internal structures
• Assess the extent of internal injuries and internal bleeding
• Guide procedures, such as surgeries and biopsies
• Monitor the effectiveness of treatments for certain medical conditions, including cancer and heart disease

The test is minimally invasive and can be conducted quickly. CT scan results are considered normal if the radiologist didn’t see any tumors, blood clots, fractures, or other abnormalities in the images. If any abnormalities are detected during the CT scan, you may need further tests or treatments, depending on the type of abnormality found. The department is 24 hrs alert to attend all emergencies. An X-ray can help your doctor view the inside of your body without having to make an incision. This can help them diagnose, monitor, and treat many medical conditions. X-Rays are prescribed for the following reasons;

• Examine an area where you’re experiencing pain or discomfort.
• Identify various conditions such as bone cancer, breast tumors, enlarged heart, blocked blood vessels, conditions affecting your lungs, digestive problems, fractures, infections, osteoporosis, arthritis, needing to retrieve swallowed items.
• Monitor the progression of a diagnosed disease.
• To check how well a prescribed treatment is working.

Precautions Before an X-Ray

In most cases, you won’t need to take special steps to prepare for them. Depending on the area that your doctor and radiologist are examining;

• You may want to wear loose, comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in.
• They may ask you to change into a hospital gown for the test.
• They may also ask you to remove any jewelry or other metallic items from your body before your X-ray is taken.
• Always tell your doctor or radiologist if you have metal implants from prior surgeries. These implants can block X-rays from passing through your body and creating a clear image.

An ultrasound scan is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from the inside of your body. An ultrasound allows the doctor to see problems with organs, vessels, and tissues without needing to make an incision. Unlike other imaging techniques, ultrasound uses no radiation. For this reason, it’s the preferred method for viewing a developing fetus during pregnancy. An ultrasound can provide a view of the bladder, brain (in infants), eyes, gallbladder, kidneys, liver, ovaries, pancreas, spleen, thyroid, testicles, uterus and blood vessels. An ultrasound is also a helpful way to guide surgeons’ movements during certain medical procedures, such as biopsies.

At Fatima Mata Mission Hospital, our Radiology Department is equipped with cutting-edge imaging technologies to provide accurate, timely and non-invasive diagnostic services. Utilizing the latest advancements, including AI-powered CT scans, digital X-rays and ultrasound (USG) imaging, we ensure high-quality results and efficient diagnosis to support treatment decisions and patient care.

1. AI-Powered 32-Slice CT Scan

• Precision and Speed: Our state-of-the-art 32-slice CT scan is enhanced with AI technology, allowing for faster and more precise imaging. This advanced system captures detailed cross-sectional images of the body, enabling our specialists to detect even the smallest abnormalities with high accuracy.
• Wide Range of Applications: The CT scan is used for diagnosing conditions involving the brain, chest, abdomen and bones. It is also crucial for trauma cases, cancer detection, cardiovascular assessments and guiding minimally invasive procedures.
• Enhanced Efficiency: The integration of AI helps in automating image analysis, reducing processing time and ensuring that scans are interpreted with a high degree of reliability. This leads to faster diagnosis and treatment planning.

2. Ultrasound (USG)

• Non-Invasive Imaging: Our ultrasound services provide real-time imaging of internal organs, tissues and blood flow. This safe, radiation-free method is used for a variety of diagnostic purposes, including abdominal scans, pelvic exams, pregnancy monitoring and vascular studies.
• Specialized Applications: USG is particularly effective for soft tissue imaging, including liver, kidneys, gallbladder and reproductive organs. It is also widely used for fetal monitoring and guiding procedures like biopsies and fluid drainage.
• 3D and Doppler Ultrasound: We offer specialized ultrasound options, such as 3D imaging for detailed views and Doppler ultrasound for evaluating blood flow and detecting blockages.

3. Digital X-Ray

• High-Resolution Imaging: Our digital X-ray system offers superior image clarity and faster results compared to traditional film-based X-rays. It is widely used for diagnosing fractures, infections, lung conditions and joint problems.
• Low Radiation Exposure: Digital X-ray technology minimizes radiation exposure, making it safer for patients while ensuring high-quality imaging. This is particularly beneficial for pediatric and repetitive X-ray needs.
• Instant Results and Easy Access: With digital imaging, results are available almost instantly, allowing for quick diagnosis and immediate access for physicians. The images can also be easily stored and shared electronically, enhancing collaboration between healthcare providers.
