Radiology and Imaging Department
Our radiology department delivers a quality,
detailed and accurate diagnostic imaging. All examinations are
undertaken using state of the art digital imaging equipment, operated by
highly trained medical professionals in an environment where patient
care, comfort and safety are our prime concern.
Our radiology equipment is supported by one of the most advanced digital network.

MRI: MRI is undoubtedly the imaging technique of choice in the majority of neurological and spinal diseases. The state of the art 1.5 Tesla functional MRI scanner at the NSH has been optimized for neuro-spinal procedures. The high resolution conventional MRI routine examinations can be completed in a fraction of the time of previous scanners. Patient comfort is also increased due to the short tunnel and piped music relaxing the patient. |
|
CT-Scan: Our spiral CT-scanner may be utilized for both diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Minimally invasive interventional procedures including percutaneous techniques such as vertebroplasty, annuloplasty and disc decompression.
The scanner is equipped with additional packages to assist in the early and accurate assessment of ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke.
Other packages include Perfusion, CT Angiography, Bolus Track and sophisticated dental assessment. |

ANGIOGRAPHY SUITE: The Neuro Spinal Hospital is equipped with an angiography suite. Our endovascular neurosurgeon specializes in all brain, spinal cord and spine interventional procedures. The range of examinations undertaken includes diagnostic angiograms of the head, neck and spine whilst interventional procedures include coiling, embolisation, thrombolysis, dilatation and stenting. These procedures offer a less invasive approach in the treatment of cerebro-vascular and spinal diseases. |

MULTI-PURPOSE DIGITAL X-RAY MACHINE: In addition to
the diagnostic capabilities, the unit is providing
routine radiography and digital fluoroscopy for
interventional procedures |
ULTRASOUND MACHINE: As well as routine ultrasound
studies,a doppler package is included for cervical,
carotid and vertebral arteries; and transcranial doppler
studies. |
|
PICTURE ARCHIVING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (PACS): Is a digital and filmless method of recording and distributing diagnostic images. This allows the images to be viewed simultaneously at numerous locations within the hospital even on the clinician's home PC. The images are archived on a CD in their original DICOM format. A copy of which is given to the patient, which may be viewed on any PC. The viewing software provides the clinician with a full range of viewing tools to assist in diagnosis which include window width, level, zoom, pan, measurement tools and etc. The system also provides full-scale capabilities for teleradiography. |
