Radiology Department and Radiologist

The Bangalore Genesis Hospital has a radiology department in order to perform diagnostic tests on various complex medical conditions. They host some of the best radiologists in Bangalore in order to carefully and accurately diagnose your health problems.

Radiology services available at the Bangalore Genesis Hospital include:

• Ultrasound imaging: Ultrasound technologies harness high frequency sound waves to visualize soft tissue structures in the human body. It is considered safer compared to other diagnostic technologies as it does not employ ionic radiation.
• Position Emission Tomography (PET scan): A glucose-based radiopharmaceutical (FDG) is injected into the patient’s body in order to enable detection of gamma rays emitted from the body.
• Fluoroscopy/angiography: A radiocontrast agent (barium or iodine) is inserted into the blood stream either orally or rectally in order to enable fluorescent screening of the anatomy of blood vessels.
• Computed tomography (CT scan): CT scans harness the power of X-rays to acquire images.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI is used to capture detailed images of organs, bones, and tissues. It uses non-ionizing radio frequency.

Specific diagnostic purposes of different radiology services are:

• Ultrasound imaging: Ultrasound imaging is commonly used in obstetrical imaging to detect fetal development or anomalies. They are also useful to assist biopsies and thoracentesis.
• MRI imaging: Very useful for diagnosis of the brain, breast, and spine.
• Fluoroscopy: Used to visualize blood vessels.
• CT scan: CT scans show bone changes better than other diagnostic services.
• PET scan: Applied in the detection of cancer and malignant growths, and subtle changes in the brain and heart.

There are risks involved in many of these diagnostic procedures. They are expensive, highly advanced equipment, and would require the expertise of someone who is experienced and highly skilled in order to operate. The images that result would also need to be interpreted skillfully.
