SPECIALTIES & SERVICES
Diagnostic Radiology
We provide an essential supporting service to the clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. We produce both plain and specialised x-ray examinations of high diagnostic qualities. We also provide diagnostic imaging reports and opinions in order to assist the clinicians in the management and treatment of the patients. We carry out interventional procedures under the guidance of our range of state-of-the-art equipment.
The KTPH Department of Diagnostic Radiology started its services from April 2010 for specialist clinic outpatients and full services from 30th June 2010 for inpatients, outpatients and emergency patients.
It is equipped with the latest imaging equipment providing a full range of radiological services. Modern digital imaging technology integrates a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) with the radiology information system (RIS).
Our radiological services include diagnostic and imaging-guided therapeutic procedures at three imaging centres within the hospital:
