DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that measures bone mineral density to diagnose conditions such as osteoporosis. It involves passing a thin x-ray beam through the hip and lower spine regions, with a computer comparing the results to those of a younger person and the expected values for someone of the same age, gender, and ethnicity.
Cardiac Service CTCA (Coronary Angiography) is a specialized CT scan that focuses on the heart and blood vessels. It involves injecting a contrast dye and capturing detailed images of the coronary arteries to check for blockages. The duration of the procedure can vary but usually takes about 15-30 minutes.
Computed Tomography (CT):CT (Computed Tomography) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. The images generated by CT can provide much more detailed information than a traditional X-ray. The duration of a CT scan varies depending on the area of the body being scanned and the complexity of the procedure, typically taking between 5 to 30 minutes to complete. In cases where contrast material is required, the exam time may be longer.
Dental X-ray (OPG/Cephologram) are imaging tests used to capture images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. An OPG (Orthopantomogram) is a panoramic X-ray that captures a wide view of the teeth and jaw, while a Cephalogram is an X-ray of the head that is used to evaluate the relationship between the teeth and the jaws. These procedures are non-invasive and typically take less than 10 minutes.
General X-Ray: A non-invasive imaging procedure that uses low-dose X-rays to capture images of the body’s internal structures, such as bones and organs. The duration of a general X-ray can vary depending on the body part being imaged, but typically takes only a few minutes.
These procedures use imaging technology, such as ultrasound or CT, to guide the needle for a tissue sample or biopsy. The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the area of the body being sampled, but typically takes around 30 minutes.
These are minimally invasive procedures that use imaging technology to guide instruments and treatments to the affected area. The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the area of the body being treated and the complexity of the procedure.
A specialized mammogram that uses low-dose X-rays to capture multiple images of the breast from different angles to create a three-dimensional view. The duration of a 3D mammogram is similar to a traditional mammogram, typically taking around 10-15 minutes.
A non-invasive imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture images of the body’s internal structures
Several scans may be recommended to you during your pregnancy. Most obstetricians and doctors would advise having a nuchal translucency scan between 12 and 13 weeks and a morphology scan between 18 and 20 weeks. During your pregnancy, we will perform all essential scans
Children up to the age of 16 are covered by paediatric imaging. Imaging for children can generally be performed at any proRAD site. We provide a variety of toys at all of our practices to keep young children happy while they wait for their appointment.
We recognize that women have particular health-care needs. Many of our clinics provide quality, routine women’s imaging by a team of specialized radiologists, mammographers, and sonographers who are committed to providing exceptional imaging services to women.
