With the latest technology and a team of experienced radiologists, we provide high-quality imaging services that help us understand your condition and guide the best treatment options for you.
What is Diagnostic Imaging?
Diagnostic imaging involves the use of advanced technologies to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. These images are essential for identifying the cause of symptoms, tracking the progress of treatment, and guiding surgeons during procedures. At Sibakon Hospital, our diagnostic imaging services use the latest innovations to provide accurate, non-invasive insights into your health.
Types of Diagnostic Imaging Services at Sibakon Hospital
We offer a variety of imaging services that can help detect, monitor, and diagnose a wide range of health conditions. Here’s a look at the different types of diagnostic imaging available at our hospital:
- X-rays
X-ray imaging is one of the most common and widely used diagnostic tools. It allows us to view the inside of your body and is especially helpful for diagnosing bone fractures, infections, and certain conditions of the lungs and chest. X-rays are quick, non-invasive, and effective for providing immediate insights into your health. - Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the inside of your body. It’s commonly used to monitor pregnancy, evaluate abdominal organs like the liver and kidneys, and examine soft tissue structures. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound does not involve radiation, making it a safe option for imaging during pregnancy and for assessing organs and blood vessels. - CT (Computed Tomography) Scans
CT scans combine X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. These scans are particularly useful for detecting conditions like cancers, internal bleeding, and organ abnormalities. CT scans provide much more detailed images than regular X-rays, helping doctors detect and diagnose conditions more accurately. - MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate highly detailed images of organs, tissues, and bones. It’s particularly useful for evaluating the brain, spinal cord, joints, and soft tissues. MRI is often recommended for diagnosing neurological disorders, joint problems, and internal organ conditions without using radiation. - Mammography
Mammography is an imaging technique specifically designed for breast health. It uses low-dose X-rays to detect early signs of breast cancer, even before symptoms appear. Regular mammograms are a vital part of early breast cancer detection and play an essential role in reducing breast cancer mortality. - Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a special type of X-ray that allows us to observe real-time images of your body in motion. It’s commonly used to examine the gastrointestinal tract, monitor the placement of medical devices, and guide certain types of surgery or interventions. - Bone Density Scans (DEXA)
Bone density scans are non-invasive procedures that measure the strength of your bones. These scans are primarily used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and fragile. Early detection can help guide treatment to reduce the risk of fractures and other complications.

How to Prepare for Your Diagnostic Imaging Appointment
Preparation for a diagnostic imaging test can vary depending on the type of procedure being performed. Here are a few general tips to help you get ready:
- X-rays and CT Scans: Wear comfortable clothing and avoid metal objects like jewelry, which may interfere with the imaging process.
- Ultrasound: For certain types of ultrasounds (like abdominal), you may need to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before the test.
- MRI: Remove any metal objects, and if you have any implants (e.g., pacemakers), inform your healthcare provider beforehand, as some MRI machines may not be suitable for people with certain medical devices.
Be sure to follow the specific instructions given by our team before your appointment to ensure the best results.
