Ultrasound
Ultrasound makes use of high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. As these images are captured in real time, structure and movement of the body’s internal organs are shown. Blood flow is demonstrated in vessels allowing the direction of flow and velocities to be determined using colour Doppler techniques. Ultrasound investigation does not involve the use of ionizing radiation
Ultrasound ServicesCT
Computed tomography (CT) or computed axial tomography (CAT) scanning is a special non-invasive x-ray test that produces cross-section images of the body. Special x-ray equipment combined with sophisticated computers produces multiple images of the inside of the body
CT ServicesMRI
MRI uses a powerful magnetic field and radio frequency pulses together with a sophisticated computer to produce detailed images of inside the body.
These images are viewed on a computer monitor. The investigation is non invasive and does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays)

Mammography
Mammography is the examination of the breasts using a low-dose x-ray system.
It is a non-invasive procedure used to help in the early detection and diagnosis of breast disease in women and sometimes men.
Regular breast self-examination is essential in the early detection of disease.
Mammography ServicesGIT
These are dynamic studies to evaluate the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel and the large bowel. Both structure and function is thus evaluated.
GIT ServicesScreening
These are specialized dynamic studies where in the case of the IVP and VCU the upper and lower urinary tract is evaluated. The sialogram evaluates the salivary glands and the dacrocystogram the lacrimal system. Speech studies evaluate speech abnormalities.
