Early detection is one of the largest benefits medical imaging has to offer. Early detection of conditions including tumours, fractures or infections can lead to more favourable treatment outcomes.

Accurate Diagnosis

Having your body scanned is incredibly beneficial as imaging services offer precise internal images of the human body which helps healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnosis and providing patients with suitable, effective treatments.

Types of Imaging Services at Medicover Hospital

Medicover Hospital, Nellore provides a wide range of imaging services to the entire residents with health care requirements. Our advanced equipment and experienced radiologists provide superior quality diagnostic imaging.

X-rays

The X-rays are the most used and accessible ones among imaging techniques. Specifically, they are very good at looking at bones - fractures and infections of the bone.

How X-rays Work

Electromagnetic radiation is used to perform an x-ray of various body parts. Various tissues within the body absorb different amounts of X-rays as they pass through them. Hard tissues, such as bones absorb the radiation more and will be shown on an image with white colour meanwhile soft tissue absorbed a little of it are grey-tone.

Body Scans

Body scans are a series of procedures that produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the torso (chest and abdomen) or thorax using x-rays. These scans play a central role in diagnosing various diseases and deciding on appropriate treatment strategies.

CT Scans

CT scans refers to computed tomography in which X-rays are taken of the body from different angles, and a computer processes it further making cross-sectional images. They are used to find cancers, clots, and organ damage.

MRI Scans

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves to make detailed pictures of organs and tissues. MRI is useful in the examination of the brain, spinal cord and joints as it gives a good contrast for all structures.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound: Ultrasound imaging uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of soft tissues and organs. In obstetrics it can be used to map the growth of a foetus and look at heart, liver and kidney.

Specialized Imaging Techniques

Apart from routine imaging, Medicover Hospital provides technology and equipment for specialised tests required to fulfil different diagnostic requirements.

Mammography

A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast that works for early detection of case cancer. It is capable of detecting tumours that are too small to be felt and has an important role in breast cancer screening programs.

DEXA Scans

DEXA scans (or dual-energy X-ray absorption) to measure bone density necessary for diagnosing osteoporosis. They also provide information on the risk of fracture and bone health over time.

The Role of Imaging in Health Diagnostics

Imaging: The Backbone of Medicine Diagnostic imaging is a critical component of modern healthcare. Not only does this assist in the diagnosis of a wide array of conditions, but it also aids with treatment planning and monitoring.

Disease Detection and Monitoring

Imaging is strictly necessary in diseases involving solid tumours (e.g., most cancers), cardiovascular disease, or neurological conditions. Imaging at regular intervals can be used to follow their status and their response to therapies.

Treatment Planning

Get accurate imaging for a better treatment plan (e.g. imaging that helps us measure the size and location of tumours, aids in guiding surgeries in deciding where it is best to operate or plan radiation therapy)

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Imaging services help in providing real-time images to minimally-invasive procedures. These include devices to aid catheters (especially for biopsies) under fluoroscopy, which have allowed almost all open surgical procedures to be performed via a minimally invasive approach.
