IMAGING
The equipment in our Imaging Department is state of the art with Digital Fluoroscopy Room, MRI scanner, Bone Densitometer machine for the early detection of osteoporosis, Image Intensifier for use in theatre, and a mobile machine for use in patient's rooms. Our new CT scanner is the fastest and most powerful in the area being 16 times more powerful than its four year old predecessor.
What is MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A medical imaging technique used for image capture. Tissue area is simultaneously subjected to electromagnetic radiation and a magnetic field. Sample data slices are gathered and later reconstructed into a composite image for further processing and analysis.
What is a CT scan?
Computed Tomography scan (also known as a CAT scan). A computerized x-ray procedure that produces cross-sectional images of the body. The images are far more detailed than x-ray films, and can reveal disease or abnormalities in tissue and bone. The procedure is usually noninvasive and brief.
