Radiology


In order to perform diagnostic as well as interventional radiological procedures, Altor Hospital's Department of Radiology is home to a highly advanced facility. In our facility, we are able to perform any diagnostic or interventional radiological technique, including those that are very complex, such as those involving the vascular system or the nervous system. Because of interventional radiology, certain patients are able to avoid major surgery altogether, which not only reduces the risks and costs involved with surgery but also, in some instances, is the only option that is available to treat a patient.

FAQs

X-rays don't hurt. However, certain body positions required for an x-ray could be momentarily uncomfortable.

The use of X-rays is regulated and monitored to ensure that the image is produced with the least amount of radiation possible. Most standard x-rays carry a very minimal risk of cancer or abnormalities. The majority of specialists believe that the advantages of using x-ray imaging properly much exceed any concerns. Young children and unborn new-borns are more vulnerable to the dangers of x-rays. If you suspect that you could be pregnant, let your healthcare professional know.

Before the examination begins, discuss your worries with the technician. Throughout the examination, the technologist will stay in close contact with you, allowing you to communicate any concerns you may have at any time. When you receive your "patient alert ball," you can use it to speak with the technologist in case you require assistance. Additionally, we advise you to consult your doctor for a small sedative to take right before the examination begins.

Specialized x-ray exams called CT or CAT scans use x-rays and a computer to create cross-sectional images of the body. These images enable the radiologist, a medical professional who focuses on body imaging, to examine the interior of the body in the same way that you would examine the interior of a loaf of bread by slicing it. It offers a very thorough examination of numerous body parts.
