CT
At TVH we have our own brand new dedicated CT scanner onsite that allows rapid diagnosis of many diseases. CT is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging procedure that creates high-resolution cross-sectional images of the body.
The images produced by CT allow us to visualise and diagnose diseases that are not easily seen on traditional imaging such as x-ray and ultrasound. CT has a wide variety of applications ranging from presurgical planning for complicated fractures, trauma cases, abdominal or thoracic pathology to more complex disease diagnosis.
Radiography
Radiography (X-ray) is a fast, non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses a small dose of ionizing radiation to create images of internal body structures, particularly bones and dense tissues. It is primarily used to detect fractures, infections and tumours.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonography (ultrasound) is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal body structures. It requires no ionizing radiation, making it ideal for imaging soft tissues, blood flow, and developing fetuses. A transducer emits sound waves, which echo off tissues to produce images.
