Diagnostic Imaging Services

A CT scanner converts flat, two-dimensional X-ray images into individual, detailed cross-sectional slices. Combining these computed tomography images with 3D reconstruction allows us to gain a much clearer understanding of internal anatomical structures. This is highly effective in diagnosing abdominal, thoracic, orthopedic, and traumatic conditions. Furthermore, CT angiography (CTA) is widely utilized for cardiovascular assessments, significantly reducing the need for invasive catheter-directed angiography.

To deliver even greater clinical precision, our hospital has introduced the next-generation PCCT. This groundbreaking technology overcomes the limitations of conventional CT scanning. With its ultra-high resolution and exceptional sensitivity, it provides patients with a faster, more accurate, and safer imaging experience. This advanced technology helps seize the golden opportunity for early diagnosis of critical conditions such as coronary heart disease and early-stage lung cancer.

Multi-Specialty Applications:

•      Cardiology: Provides ultra-high definition imaging that clearly visualizes coronary artery structures; even in cases of severe vascular calcification, doctors can still assess the condition of the blood vessels in a more precise way.
•      Oncology: Delivers high-quality imaging, empowering doctors with the ability to detect, characterize, and monitor tumors with precision
•      Pediatrics: The scanning process is completed in just a few seconds, significantly shortening examination time and greatly reducing the need for sedation due to anxiety in pediatric patients
•      Neurology: Visualizes small lesions and fine details to aid clinical decisions in neurology
•      Orthopedics: Ultra-fine 0.2mm imaging reveals bone and joint structures in extraordinary detail - favorable for complex assessments and surgical planning
•      Cardio-Thoracic Surgery: High-resolution lung imaging, facilitating early detection of lung cancer
•      Urgent Care: Faster and more comprehensive scans covering bone and soft structures all in one examination

Comfortable Experience:

•      Spacious & Comforting: An 82cm wide-bore design effectively alleviates feelings of claustrophobia and confinement
•      Effortless Access: The examination table can be lowered to 38cm, making entry and exit easy for the elderly, individuals with limited mobility, and wheelchair users

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Unlike X-rays and CT Scans, MRI is a completely non-invasive imaging technique and does not contain radiation. The magnetic field produced by an MRI forces certain atoms in your body to line up in a particular way. Radio waves are sent towards these atoms and bounce back, and a computer records the signal produced. Since different types of tissues send back different signals, the computer can analyze the signals and use them to render a detailed image of the internal organs.

MAGNETOM Skyrafit, features Siemens’ new generation MRI technology. The 70-cm open bore design carries a load of up to 250 kg and works well for claustrophobic patients and those with special needs. At 173 cm long, the system also allows for the head of the patient to remain outside the bore during scanning, 

Our state-of-the-art MRI equipment can provide the following services:

• Brain MRI Scan
• Spine MRI Scan
  • Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Scans
• Cardiac MRI (Heart) Scans
• MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography)
• Other High Resolution Regional MRI Scans
  • Musculoskeletal and Joint imaging
  • MR Cholangiogram
  • Abdominal and Chest

A mammogram will allow doctors to detect any abnormal breast tissue, or untouched/unformed tumor locations (calcification points), which may be a sign of early stage breast cancer.

Our Hospital offers:

• 2D Mammogram
• 3D Mammogram

Radiology, otherwise known as X-ray, is the use of high penetration radiation to produce 2D picture of our 3D body tissue on film for diagnostic purpose.  Radiology is the most common and relatively inexpensive imaging modality used in Diagnostic Imaging.  Radiology is good for tissue of high inherent contrast such as bone and lung.

Our X-Ray department provides the following services for both in and out patients:

• General X-Ray, such as chest and bone X-ray.
• Barium Meal - Examine the upper alimentary system and stomach.
• Barium Enema - Examination of colon.
• Intravenous Pyelogram or IVP - Examination of the urinary system for possible obstruction, infection or mass within the system.
• Hysterosalpingography or HSG - Examination of the female reproduction system and is commonly used for investigation of infertility.
• Venography - For the examination of the venous system in the body for deep vein thrombosis.
• Biopsy for pathology

Our Hospital is equipped with the GE Lunar Prodigy ADVANCE dual-energy bone densitometer, which has a wider scanning range and can scan the whole body for both bone density and body composition at once.

With the use of 2 different penetration power of X-ray, DEXA is used to measure the density of our bones (calcium and other minerals).  With the X-ray dose of lesser than a chest X-ray and relatively safe, DEXA is commonly used to measure bone density of Spine, Hip, Wrist, and the most frequently fracture locations.

Body composition refers to the content and composition ration of fat, lean tissue, and bone minerals in the total mass of the human body. Compared to other examinations, DEXA has the advantages of shorter scanning time, higher precision, and higher accuracy.

Ultrasound uses reflected sound waves to produce a picture of organs and other structures inside the body. Since the technique does not use X-rays or any type of possibly harmful radiation, it is widely used in pregnant women.

Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) is a combined examination of both cellular structures and functions of the body. Apart from detecting pathological changes of tumour cells in the early stages and assessing the extent of metastasis, PET-CT scan can also be used to diagnose cardiovascular and neurological diseases, such as primary brain tumour, Alzheimer’s diseases and seizure.

Clinical applications of PET-CT includes:

• Diagnosing cancer at an early stage
• Identifying the site of primary cancer
• Localizing the site for biopsy
• Facilitating tumour grading and staging
• Identifying metastasis if any
• Formulating a treatment plan such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy
• Evaluating patient’s prognosis
• Assessing the effectiveness of treatment
• Monitoring cancer recurrence if any

Radionuclide & Molecular Imaging diagnoses and cures diseases using radiopharmaceuticals. The scanning tests use a special camera to take pictures of certain tissues in the body for clinical diagnosis after a radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) is given to the patient. The tracer accumulates in the tissues, making them visible on the camera. Its extensive application ranges from tumors, brain, heart, lungs, the alimentary canal, bones, endocrine to urinary system and so on. It can effectively detect early expansion of tumors and physiological disorder of organs.
