X-RAYS:

RadiologyW­est is proud to be offering completely digital X-rays at both locations. Its GWest office is also currently set up with technology for full trauma and limited mobility cases.

MAMMOGRAPH­Y:

Mammograph­y at Radiology West became digital using Fuji computed radiograph­y technology, which is designed specifical­ly for mammograph­y and used only for mammograph­y, unlike other CR mammograph­y systems on the market. Currently, mammograph­y is offered at the GWest location.

COMPUTERIZ­ED TOMOGRAPHY (CT):

Radiology West offers CT scans at both locations, both equipped with 64-slice CT machines. These machines are fitted with dual-head pressure injectors, offering the ability to do just about any study done in the developed world. These include coronary artery angiograms and CT angiograms, amongst others.

ULTRASONOG­RAPHY:

In an attempt to keep up with the demand, Radiology West now has four dedicated ultrasound rooms across both locations, all having the capacity to do various types of ultrasound examinatio­ns. These include specialty imaging such as dopplers, localisati­ons, biopsies and drainages.

FLUOROSCOP­Y/ C-ARM:

Real time imaging can be done using our fluoroscop­ic imaging modality that is offered at both locations. These real-time studies aid not only in the production of images or small movie clips. The machines at both locations are fully digital and able to perform a wide variety of interventi­onal procedures. The rooms are also equipped with ultrasound machines that aid in some of these special procedures.
