Radiology &
Imaging Services
At Thangam Hospital, our Department of Radio Diagnosis is equipped with cutting-edge imaging technology to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning across specialties, including oncology, trauma, antenatal care, and emergency medicine.
We offer 24/7 imaging services, backed by a team of skilled radiologists and technicians. All imaging systems are connected through PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and fully integrated with our Hospital Management System (HMS) for efficient reporting and seamless patient care.
Comprehensive Imaging Modalities Available:
MRI
Low Dose CT Scan (Computed Tomography) – 32-Slice Whole Body Scanner
3D Mammography (Breast Tomosynthesis)
Echocardiography (ECHO)
Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
Ultrasonography (USG) & Doppler Imaging
Digital X-Ray (Radiography)
MRI Scan
At Thangam Hospital, our Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services are designed to deliver high-precision diagnostics with maximum patient safety. MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed 3D images of organs, soft tissues, bones, and other internal body structures.
Low Dose CT Scan – Advanced 32-Slice Scanner
Our 32-slice CT scanner delivers high-speed, high-resolution 3D images for precise diagnosis across specialties.
Clinical Uses of CT Scan:
Cancer diagnosis and staging: Helps determine the extent and operability of tumors
- Emergency imaging: Quick brain scans for stroke or trauma
3D Mammography
3D Mammography or Breast Tomosynthesis is an advanced imaging technique that provides detailed images of breast tissues, aiding in accurate detection of cancerous growths.
At Thangam Hospital, we use GE’s Senographe Essential system, known for:
Low radiation dose
High-resolution digital imaging
Better detection of small or hidden breast lesions
This advanced system also supports targeted biopsy of suspicious areas, improving the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
Ultrasound / Ultrasonography (USG)
Ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of organs and tissues inside the body. It is a safe, radiation-free imaging technology modality used for both diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Diagnostic Applications:
Abdominal, pelvic, and organ-specific ultrasound scans
Color Doppler studies to assess blood flow in vessels
Digital X-Ray Imaging
X-rays are one of the most used diagnostic tools in medicine. They are quick, painless, and provide clear 2D images of internal body structures, particularly bones and chest organs.
X-rays are used to detect:
Bone fractures
Lung infections (like pneumonia or tuberculosis)
Bone and lung cancers
Bowel perforations
Osteoporosis
Foreign objects in the body
For more detailed, 3D visualization, additional scans may be suggested
Image-Guided Interventions
Our radiologists perform minimally invasive procedures using imaging guidance for greater precision and safety.
Therapeutic Procedures Include:
USG-guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
USG and CT-guided biopsies
- Fluid aspiration from abscesses or collections
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA is a non-surgical option that uses thermal energy to destroy cancer cells precisely.
- Image-guided procedure for liver, kidney, lung, and bone tumors
- Needle-based technique = No large incisions
- Ideal for patients unfit for surgery
- Outpatient or short-stay procedure with minimal downtime
- Can be repeated if needed or used alongside systemic therapies
- A safe, targeted solution for selected solid tumors.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology is a specialized branch of radiology that uses advanced imaging techniques to perform minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. At Thangam Hospital, our fully-equipped Interventional Radiology suite integrates a full spectrum of advanced imaging systems, ensuring accuracy and safety during procedures.
