Radiology Services
Radiology involves the use of advanced imaging technologies to visualize the internal structures of the body. It helps in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring a wide range of medical conditions. Common radiology services include:
X-rays: Used to examine bones, chest, and other dense structures.
Ultrasound: Employs sound waves for imaging organs, soft tissues, and during pregnancy.
CT Scans: Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Offers high-resolution images of soft tissues, brain, and spinal cord.
Mammography: Special imaging for breast cancer detection.
Interventional Radiology: Minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies or angiograms, performed under imaging guidance.
Radiology plays a vital role in early disease detection, emergency diagnostics, and planning surgical or therapeutic interventions.
Pathology Services
Pathology focuses on the study of tissues, cells, and body fluids to diagnose diseases and monitor health. Pathology services cover a wide range of laboratory tests and analyses, including:
Blood Tests: For general health monitoring (e.g., CBC, blood sugar, thyroid function).
Histopathology: Examining tissues under a microscope to detect cancer or other abnormalities.
Microbiology: Identifying infections by analyzing samples for bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
Cytology: Studying cells, such as in Pap smears, to detect precancerous changes.
Molecular Diagnostics: Advanced tests like PCR for detecting genetic disorders, infections, or specific cancers.
Pathology services are essential for confirming diagnoses, guiding treatment decisions, and tracking disease progression or recovery.
Together, Radiology and Pathology are the backbone of diagnostics, offering precise insights for effective patient care.
