  • The Radiology department is a crucial component of a healthcare facility, responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries through the use of medical imaging techniques. Radiologists, radiologic technologists, and other skilled professionals work together in this department to perform and interpret various imaging procedures, providing valuable diagnostic information to aid in patient care.
  • Here are some key aspects and functions typically associated with the Radiology department:
  1. Medical Imaging Procedures: The Radiology department performs a wide range of medical imaging procedures to visualize and assess different parts of the body. These procedures include X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, nuclear medicine scans, mammography, and interventional radiology procedures. Each imaging modality has its own capabilities and uses, and radiologists choose the most appropriate modality based on the clinical question and patient's condition.
  2. Image Acquisition and Processing: Radiologic technologists, also known as radiographers, are responsible for acquiring the images using specialized equipment. They position the patients, operate the imaging devices, and ensure the images are of high quality. The acquired images are then processed and stored digitally for interpretation and archiving purposes.
  3. Image Interpretation and Reporting: Radiologists, who are physicians specialized in medical imaging, interpret the acquired images to diagnose and evaluate various medical conditions. They analyze the images to identify abnormalities, assess the extent of injuries or diseases, and provide detailed reports to referring physicians. Radiologists often collaborate with other healthcare professionals to determine the best course of treatment based on the imaging findings.
  4. Interventional Radiology: Interventional radiology (IR) is a subspecialty within Radiology that focuses on minimally invasive image-guided procedures. These procedures involve using imaging techniques, such as fluoroscopy, CT, or ultrasound, to guide catheters, needles, or other instruments to perform therapeutic or diagnostic interventions. Examples of interventional radiology procedures include angiography, embolization, biopsies, drain placements, and minimally invasive treatments for conditions like tumors, vascular diseases, and blockages.
  5. Radiation Safety: The Radiology department adheres to strict radiation safety protocols to ensure the well-being of patients and staff. Radiologic technologists employ proper shielding techniques, use radiation monitoring devices, and follow established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure. Radiologists also ensure that the radiation dose used during imaging procedures is optimized to provide the necessary diagnostic information while minimizing radiation risks.
  6. Consultation and Collaboration: Radiologists often collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as referring physicians, surgeons, oncologists, and specialists from various medical disciplines. They provide consultation services, discuss imaging findings, and contribute to multidisciplinary discussions to help guide treatment decisions. Radiologists may also provide expertise in image-guided procedures and assist in treatment planning and monitoring.
  7. Research and Innovation: Radiology departments often engage in research activities to advance the field of medical imaging. They participate in clinical trials, conduct studies to evaluate new imaging techniques and protocols, and contribute to scientific literature. Radiology departments also stay abreast of technological advancements and incorporate innovative imaging technologies and software to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
  • The Radiology department plays a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various medical conditions. By utilizing advanced imaging technologies, skilled professionals in the department provide valuable information that aids in accurate diagnoses, guides treatment decisions, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.

  • Our Mission
  • Our mission is to be at the forefront of radiological diagnosis, treatment, training, and research. The three key elements of our patient-focused efforts are to:
  1. Provide top quality imaging and therapeutic procedures
  2. Develop and apply tools and knowledge to compassionately care for our patients, in a fair, just, and inclusive community
  3. Advance the field of radiology through innovative research that translates into breakthrough diagnostic and treatment methods;
  4. Train and educate radiologists, assistants, and staff to be effective partners with the rest of the care team, experts in the application of imaging sciences, and leaders in the field of radiology.

  • Our Vision
  • As the Department of Radiology, our vision is to be recognized as a world-class radiology department nationally and internationally, in a collaborative working environment that supports team health and diversity.
