X-rays are the second most commonly used medical tests, after blood tests Radiology traditionally was the branch of medical science dealing with the medical use of X-rays emitted by X-ray machines or other such radiation devices for the purpose of obtaining visual information as part of medical imaging. However, now radiologists now also use other imaging technologies (such as ultrasound and computed tomography) to diagnose or treat disease. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the help of medical imaging. Radiographs (or Roentgenographs), named after the discoverer of X-rays, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923)) are often used for evaluation of bony structures and soft tissues. Radiology can be classified into two sub-fields. Diagnostic radiology is concerned with the use of various imaging modalities to aid in the diagnosis of disease. Radiation therapy uses radiation to treat diseases such as cancer. While originally encompassed within radiology, therapeutic radiology — or, as it is now called, radiation oncology — is now a separate field The Institute has a separate Digital Imaging Radiology Department. The imaging modalities include plain radiography, computed tomography(CT), ultrasound, Image Intensifier Television (I.I.TV). and Color Doppler. These techniques are usually non-invasive. Each of these modalities has strengths and limitations, which dictate its use in diagnosis. Fluoroscopy and image intensifier are special applications of X-ray imaging, where image intensifier tube is connected to a closed-circuit television system, which allows real-time imaging of structures in motion or augmented with a radio-contrast agent. Radio-contrast agents are administered to help delineate anatomy such as the blood vessels, the genitourinary system or the gastrointestinal tract. These are also used in treatment of gastrointestinal tract. CT imaging uses X-rays in conjunction with computing algorithms to image a variety of soft tissues in the body. CT is acquired in the axial plane, while coronal and sagittal images can be rendered by computer reconstruction. Radiocontrast agents are often used with CT for enhanced delineation of anatomy. Although radiographs provide higher resolution for bone X-rays, CT can generate much more detailed images of the soft tissues. Ultrasonography uses ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) to vizualize soft tissue structures in the body in real time. No radiation is involved. Doppler studies are preferred for study of study of heart including lungs and also for vascular studies – also known as Peripheral Doppler studies, for diagnosing or studying the arteries and veins of other parts of the body. For radiography the Institute has a state of art C.R. System. The system is connected to all radiography equipments including X-Ray, C.T.Scan, Ultrasound and Color Doppler system. All these equipment are latest digital equipment. All types of X-Ray examinations are done at the Institute. These include Chest x-ray, all Bone studies and studies of other different organs of the body and examination of the digestive system vide a substance which is opaque to X-rays (barium sulphate) also known as barium study. The hospital also has facilities for Dental X-Ray - for teeth. A dentist examines a painful tooth and gum using X-ray equipment. All studies are done by highly educated and experienced professionals. |
