Radiology uses imaging to diagnose and treat diseases seen within the body.

Our Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose and/or treat diseases.

The Imaging Techniques available in DUFUTH include but not limited to

• X-rays – used to look through tissue to examine bones, cavities and foreign objects. Can be used with contrast agents to provide a live motion image, eg fluoroscopy to image the digestive system, or angiography to investigate blood vessels.

• CT (computed tomography) – provides cross-sectional views (slices) of the body allowing disease to be identified and localised.

• Ultrasound – uses high frequency sound. This technique is widely used in obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics and for patients with abdominal, vascular or musculoskeletal conditions

• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) – provides high quality imaging of body parts without the need for radiation.

.
