Imaging Diagnostics

The Diagnostic Imaging Department consists of an experienced team of doctors and technologists dedicated to practicing evidence-based medicine to provide optimal diagnostic and therapeutic results for patients. We are committed to delivering the best diagnostic imaging services with a focus on efficiency, cleanliness, radiation safety, and image quality.

Diagnostic imaging, including CT, MRI, Mammography, Ultrasound, Xquang and DXA, represents essential tools in modern medicine, enabling physicians to make accurate clinical decisions for diagnosis and treatment.

1. CT SCAN

A Computed Tomography (CT) uses X-rays in conjunction with computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. Compared to standard X-rays, CT provides clearer and more detailed images of blood vessels, soft tissues, and bones, allowing physicians to easily detect and assess pathological conditions.

Key Features of CT Imaging System

• Artificial intelligence optimizes imaging parameters such as radiation dose, resolution, and speed based on individual patient cases to ensure the highest image quality.
• The system offers high-resolution images, fast scan times, minimized radiation doses, and enhanced patient comfort.
• Additionally, remote interaction capabilities allow doctors or technicians to communicate with patients during the procedure, fostering a sense of safety.
• The machine can be customized to accommodate a wide range of patients, from children and the elderly to those needing special care, significantly improving patient experience.

Indications for CT Scanning

CT scans are commonly prescribed for patients with symptoms or conditions requiring more precise diagnosis than other imaging methods. Common indications include:

• Trauma or accident patients, those suspected of having tumors or cancer
• Symptoms affecting the brain, heart, or other internal organs
• Evaluation of blood vessels or musculoskeletal conditions
• Patients preparing for surgery or advanced treatments, or those needing post-treatment monitoring

Health screenings, such as routine check-ups or cancer screenings (e.g., lung or cardiovascular disease), can also be performed.

2. MRI SCAN

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a modern, highly effective imaging method. With its ability to produce precise images without side effects, MRI is used to examine nearly every internal organ.

Applications of MRI in Medicine

MRI is effective in diagnosing:

• Neurological and cardiovascular conditions
• Spinal and musculoskeletal disorders
• Gastrointestinal and gynecological conditions
• Cancer diagnosis and treatment planning
• Routine health screenings

Key Features of the MRI System

• DotGO automation: Ensures consistent, high-quality imaging for accurate diagnosis
• AI-driven scan time reduction: AI technology optimizes scan protocols to significantly reduce scan times while maintaining image quality
• Noise reduction, patient comfort: Quiet Suite technology decreases noise levels by up to 97%, providing a quiet, comfortable experience
• Advanced imaging processing and optimized contrast dosing

3. Mammography

Mammography is an X-ray imaging technique that enables the analysis of breast tissue structure to detect internal changes in the breast that cannot be identified through physical examination.

Advantages of mammography

• It is fast, non-invasive, and low-cost diagnostics method
• Helps detect microcalcifications & detects malignancies early
• Suitable for breasts of any size
• The X-rays used have low energy, so the potential for harm to the body is almost nonexistent. However, contraindicated for pregnant women in the first 3 months and in the following months should be consider based on the advice of a doctor

4. Ultrasound

CarePlus international clinics perform ultrasound services at the Department of Imaging Diagnostics on ultrasound machines of the latest generation, ensuring the image quality is always at the sharpest level to serve in diagnosis. 

Our ultrasound services include:

• Thyroid Doppler ultrasonography (including lymph nodes)
• Neck ultrasound: examining the parotid gland, lower jaw
• Breast Doppler ultrasonography
• Chest ultrasound
• Soft tissue ultrasound: parotid glands, auxiliaries
• Heart Doppler ultrasonography
• Peripheral intraepithelial Doppler ultrasonography
• Ultrasonography of arteries, upper limbs, lower limbs
• Ultrasonography of extracranial internal carotid artery
• Abdomen ultrasonography: examining liver, spleen, bile, kidney, pancreas, bladder, uterus, ovaries, prostate
• Ultrasound of abdomen, genitals for the abnormalities in children
• Renal artery ultrasound
• Ultrasound for esophageal reflux in children
• Ultrasound of pelvis, groin, scrotum, testicles
• Ultrasound of joint and soft tissue
• Wrist ultrasound
• Gynecological ultrasound
• Pregnancy ultrasound in first, second and third trimesters

5. X-Ray

Digital Radiographic X-ray (DR), the time taken for a patient is several times faster than conventional X-rays, reducing the radiation time, protecting your vital organs from being radiation contaminated, especially in complicated x-rays with lungs, sinuses, skulls, spine, bones and mammograms to detect cancer at the early stage.

6. DXA

Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is an advanced imaging technique commonly used to measure bone density and assess osteoporosis risk, particularly in areas such as the hips and spine. This method stands out for its high accuracy, short scanning time, and minimal X-ray exposure, ensuring patient safety. DXA is ideal for individuals at high risk of osteoporosis, including postmenopausal women, the elderly, individuals with chronic calcium deficiencies, or those with a family history of osteoporosis, facilitating early diagnosis and effective treatment.
