Radiology Services at TMR International Hospital

At TMR International Hospital, our Radiology Department is committed to providing comprehensive diagnostic imaging services using state-of-the-art technology. Our team of experienced radiologists and technologists ensures accurate and timely results to aid in effective patient management. Below is an overview of the radiology services we offer:

1. X-Ray Imaging

X-ray imaging is a fundamental diagnostic tool that uses electromagnetic waves to produce images of the internal structures of the body. It is commonly used to detect fractures, infections, and abnormalities in bones and certain soft tissues. Our digital X-ray systems provide high-resolution images with reduced radiation exposure, ensuring patient safety and comfort.

2. Ultrasound Scans

Ultrasound imaging, or sonography, utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs and tissues. This non-invasive technique is versatile and safe, making it suitable for various applications:

• Obstetric Ultrasound: Monitors the development and health of the fetus during pregnancy, assessing fetal growth, position, and detecting any potential anomalies.

• General Ultrasound: Evaluates organs such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and spleen to detect conditions like tumors, cysts, or infections.

• Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Assesses muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints for injuries, inflammation, or other musculoskeletal disorders.

• Neurosonography: Examines the brain and nervous system, particularly in infants, to detect abnormalities or monitor neurological conditions.

  
  

3. Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

CT scanning combines X-ray measurements from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of the body. This advanced imaging technique provides detailed information about bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of various conditions such as tumors, internal injuries, and vascular diseases.

4. Endoscopy

Endoscopy involves inserting a flexible tube equipped with a light and camera (endoscope) into the body to visualize internal organs and structures directly. This procedure is essential for diagnosing and sometimes treating conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and other hollow organs.

5. Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a specific type of endoscopy that examines the interior lining of the colon and rectum. It is crucial for detecting colorectal diseases, including polyps, tumors, and inflammatory conditions, and plays a significant role in colorectal cancer screening and prevention.

6. Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG)

ECG is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It helps in diagnosing various cardiac conditions, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other heart diseases, by detecting irregularities in heart rhythm and structure.

7. Echocardiography

Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart, allowing assessment of heart muscle and valve function. It is instrumental in diagnosing heart conditions like heart failure, valve disorders, and congenital heart diseases, providing detailed information about heart structure and performance.

At TMR International Hospital, we prioritize patient safety and comfort, ensuring that all imaging procedures are performed with the utmost care. Our Radiology Department collaborates closely with other specialties to provide integrated and personalized care, facilitating accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
