Radiology

Radiology is that branch of medicine which uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat diseases. It helps health care specialists to see structures inside your body. They further interpret these images to form a diagnosis, prescribe treatment alternatives and monitor your body’s response for the said treatment. In today’s era of highly advanced technology in Health and Medicine, the process of radiological imaging is not just limited to the use of X-rays, it also comprises technology-intensive imaging with the help of high frequency sound waves, magnetic fields, and radioactivity. This has enabled the field of Radiology to evolve from purely diagnostic devices to interventional technologies.

We at Al Hayat International Hospital are equipped with the newest digital technology in Diagnostic Imaging. Our Radiology Department furnishes substantial services in X-Ray, Cath Lab, Computed tomography (CT) and Ultrasound.

A CT scan comes in handy for when patients present with acute chest pain or abdominal pain. It also helps in ruling out possibilities of a stroke that may occur due to any bleeding in the brain. Mammography is the screening and diagnostic tool used to detect breast cancer. A Bone densitometry helps to figure out whether the bones in the body of a patient are brittle. Digital fluoroscopy permits radiologists to view motion and assess the anatomy and functioning of different parts of the body. An ultrasound scan, also called a sonogram, is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of parts of the inside of a patient’s body.
We are presently in partnership with Medscan to provide MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) services as well. For consultations and appointments call us at +968 22004000. For emergencies contact +968 22004001.
