Radiology: Examining the Body Without Surgery
Victor Hospital’s radiology department delivers precise, non-invasive care with 24/7 access to experienced radiologists, utilizing advanced imaging technology for early detection and accurate diagnosis.
Through tools such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and Doppler study, radiologists can detect, diagnose, and monitor a wide range of medical conditions.
These non-invasive techniques allow doctors to visualize bones, organs and soft tissues, aiding in the identification of fractures, tumors, infections, and other abnormalities.
Key Imaging Methods
X-rays
One of the most commonly used imaging techniques, X-rays provide detailed images of the bones and are especially helpful for detecting fractures.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI is ideal for imaging soft tissues like the brain, muscles and ligaments. It uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate highly detailed images without the need for radiation.
CT Scan (Computed Tomography)
A CT scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. This technique provides a more detailed view than traditional X-rays, making it particularly useful for diagnosing complex conditions.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs and tissues. It is frequently used in obstetrics to monitor pregnancy, as well as in examining organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Doppler Study
A specialized form of ultrasound, Doppler studies assess blood flow in the body. This technique helps identify issues such as blood clots or blockages in blood vessels.
Why is Radiology Important?
●???? Early Detection: Radiology identifies diseases early for timely intervention.
●???? Guiding Treatments: It ensures precision in medical procedures.
●???? Monitoring Recovery: Radiology tracks progress and detects complications.
●???? Confirming Diagnoses: It provides clarity and accuracy in diagnosis.
