The Radiology Department owns to its credit,
as a department in private healthcare sector, as the one which pioneered
many new facilities. Under the radiology department we have C T Scan
facility, 4 D Ultra sound Scan facility and many other facilities. The
recently installed GE C T Scan is the best in the industry and serves the
requirement of the patients which till date costed heavily to the patient.
We provide 24 hours C T Scan facility. The department head Dr.Raviraj Uppoor,
is available for expert opinion in regard to the scanning results.
We also have a conventional
radiology unit where the basic x-rays and specialised procedures like Intra
Venous Urograms (IVU) and Hystero Salpingographies (HSG) are done routinely.
We also have 5 Siemens X Ray Units. We have a number of latest ultra
sound units with Doppler and 4D scan facility. Ultrasound has revolutionized
the practice in Obstetrics enabling us to detect the disease in the early
stages specially ectopic pregnancies (i.e pregnancy outside the uterus)
which is very common in Oman. With 4D ultra sound scan the parents can see
their unborn child and walk away with a smiling face.
Ultra sound in pregnancy is done
for accurate assessment of gestational age, normality and abnormality of
pregnancy. Specific ultrasound tests, like Biophysical profile scoring and
Doppler evaluation of fetal well being also done here. We are doing Doppler
studies. ANC Doppler, extremity including both Arterial and Venous, Carotid
Doppler, Scrotal and Pelvic Doppler. By the superficial high
