DIGITAL X-RAY

Modern Diagnostics with High-Resolution Digital Radiography

At Nazarenus Hospital, our Radiology Department uses advanced Digital X-Ray technology to provide faster, safer, and clearer diagnostic imaging.

Digital radiography helps move away from traditional film-based imaging. Instead of waiting for film development, images can be viewed digitally within seconds. This allows our healthcare team and physicians to review results more efficiently and support timely patient care.

Our goal is to provide precise imaging with minimized exposure, helping your physician better understand your condition and plan the next step in your treatment without unnecessary delay.

Key Patient Benefits

Less Radiation Exposure

Digital X-Ray technology uses advanced sensors that require lower radiation doses compared to traditional film X-rays. This helps make the procedure safer for patients, including children.

Faster Image Availability

Images appear quickly on the radiologic technologist’s monitor, reducing waiting time and allowing faster coordination with your attending physician.

Clearer Diagnostic Detail

Digital images can be adjusted, magnified, and enhanced for better visibility. This helps radiologists and physicians review details more clearly and may reduce the need for repeat scans.

Eco-Friendly Technology

Digital imaging reduces the use of chemical processing and physical film, helping minimize medical and chemical waste.

Digital X-Ray Services

Our Digital X-Ray services support a wide range of diagnostic needs, including:

GENERAL ULTRASOUND

Safe, Painless, and Non-Invasive Imaging

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time images of the body’s internal structures.

Because ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, it is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic tool for patients of all ages. It is commonly used to evaluate organs, soft tissues, blood flow, and other medical concerns that require detailed imaging.

At Nazarenus Hospital, our ultrasound services are performed with attention to patient comfort, privacy, and accurate imaging.

General Ultrasound Services

Abdominal Ultrasound

An abdominal ultrasound evaluates the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and abdominal aorta. It is commonly requested for abdominal pain, gallstones, kidney stones, and other concerns affecting the internal organs.

Pelvic Ultrasound

A pelvic ultrasound helps visualize the bladder and reproductive organs. For women, it may evaluate the uterus and ovaries. For men, it may help assess the prostate gland.

KUB Ultrasound

KUB stands for kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This scan helps detect urinary tract obstructions, stones, or structural abnormalities.

Breast Ultrasound

Breast ultrasound is used for both screening support and targeted diagnostic evaluation.

It may help evaluate palpable breast lumps, dense breast tissue, or findings seen on a mammogram. It can also help distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses that may require further medical review.

Small Parts Ultrasound

Small parts ultrasound focuses on superficial organs and structures located close to the surface of the skin. These scans require clear detail and high-resolution imaging.

Common uses include:

Thyroid and parathyroid evaluation Scrotal or testicular ultrasound

Musculoskeletal and soft tissue imaging

Evaluation of lumps, lipomas, muscle tears, tendons, and joint fluid collections

Special Procedures and Interventional Ultrasound

Nazarenus Hospital also provides ultrasound-guided procedures that use real-time imaging to support precision, safety, and patient comfort.

These may include:

Ultrasound-guided biopsy

Fluid aspiration and drainage

Vascular Doppler studies to evaluate blood flow, blockages, or vascular concerns

Patient Preparation

Preparation depends on the type of ultrasound procedure. Some scans may require fasting, a full bladder, or other specific instructions.

Please confirm your preparation requirements with our radiology staff when scheduling your appointment. Patients are also encouraged to bring their doctor’s official laboratory or imaging request and any relevant previous scan results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor’s referral to get an OB-GYN ultrasound?

Yes. A written request from your attending Obstetrician-Gynecologist or physician is required so our team can perform the exact type of scan needed for your medical case.

Yes. Ultrasound does not use radiation. It uses high-frequency sound waves to safely create images of your pelvic organs or developing baby.

For obstetric scans, one companion may be allowed. To help our medical team stay focused and to maintain patient privacy and comfort, we kindly ask patients to limit it to one companion per session.

CT SCAN

Advanced, Fast, and Precise Imaging

Nazarenus Hospital’s Radiology Department is equipped with a Philips 32-Slice CT Scan, allowing our team to provide detailed diagnostic imaging with speed, accuracy, and patient safety in mind.

A CT scan uses specialized X-ray technology and advanced computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. These images help physicians evaluate soft tissues, organs, blood vessels, and bones with greater clarity.

Whether your physician has requested a routine scan or an urgent diagnostic procedure, our CT Scan service is designed to support accurate evaluation and timely care.

What is a 32-Slice CT Scan?

A 32-slice CT scanner captures multiple images at the same time during a single rotation.

Compared to standard single-slice or few-slice scanners, this allows for faster scanning, clearer images, and more detailed evaluation of internal structures.

Benefits of 32-Slice CT Imaging

Faster Scan Times

Most scans are completed within a few minutes, helping reduce the time patients need to remain still during the procedure.

High-Resolution Detail

The system provides clear and detailed images that help radiologists detect abnormalities, tiny fractures, inflammation, tumors, and other conditions.

Lower Radiation Exposure

Integrated dose-reduction technology helps ensure that patients receive the lowest possible radiation dose needed to produce quality diagnostic images.

CT Scan Services

Neurological Imaging

Brain and head scans may be used to evaluate persistent headaches, stroke symptoms, trauma, tumors, or other neurological concerns.

Thoracic and Abdominal Scans

CT imaging can provide detailed evaluation of the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and other internal organs. These scans may help investigate pain, infection, inflammation, or other medical conditions.
