Radiology and Imaging

At Emirates Hospital Abu Dhabi, our Department of Radiology is committed to providing you with the most accurate and comprehensive diagnostic imaging services available. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable experience

Diagnostic Tools

Our department offers a full range of diagnostic tools, including:

• X-Ray: This quick and painless imaging technique provides a basic image of bones and internal structures.
• Ultrasound: Using sound waves, ultrasound creates detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and blood flow.
• Computed Tomography (CT): CT scans combine multiple X-ray images to create detailed cross-sectional pictures of your body, providing a more comprehensive view of internal structures.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRIs utilize powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs, muscles, bones, and other tissues. MRIs are particularly helpful for examining the brain, spinal cord, and soft tissues.
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET): PET scans involve injecting a small amount of radioactive tracer into the body. This tracer is then detected by a scanner, revealing areas of increased metabolic activity, which can be helpful in diagnosing certain cancers and other conditions.

Interventional Radiology: Minimally Invasive Treatment Options:

In addition to diagnostic imaging, our department also offers a range of interventional radiology procedures. These minimally invasive procedures utilize imaging guidance for precise treatment delivery, often reducing recovery time and discomfort compared to traditional surgery. Some examples of interventional radiology procedures include:

• Biopsies: Tissue samples can be collected for analysis using image guidance.
• Pain Management: Injections can be delivered precisely to targeted areas to manage chronic pain.
• Tumor Ablation: Certain tumors can be destroyed using heat, cold, or other methods guided by imaging.
• Uterine Fibroid Embolization: This procedure blocks blood flow to fibroids, shrinking them and reducing symptoms.

Our department is staffed by highly qualified and experienced radiologists, technologists, and nurses who are dedicated to providing you with personalized care and attention. We will take the time to explain the imaging procedure and answer any questions you may have.

We understand that undergoing diagnostic tests can be stressful. Our team is committed to creating a comfortable and relaxing environment for all our patients. We offer amenities such as blankets, pillows, and noise-canceling headphones to enhance your experience.

By providing a clear picture of your internal health, our advanced imaging services empower physicians to make accurate diagnoses and develop personalized treatment plans.
