Radiology Unit

The primary aim of our radiology department is to provide an imaging service combining a high standard of technical excellence and an equally high quality of patient care.

Radiology

The branch of medicine that deals with the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of radiation.
Ultrasonography

A method of visualizing the internal parts of the body, or a foetus within the uterus, using sound waves.

Diagnostic imaging is the common term used to describe a full range of routine and specialised radiological procedures.

As radiology is a vital link in the hospital chain, the goal of medical imaging is to provide the physician with as much medical data as possible to help diagnose a patient.

An on-call radiological service is provided by the Saint James Hospital Group, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
