Scope of the Unit
Radiology at Al Nas Hospital supports every clinical department from cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery to GIT and general patient radiological services by providing essential imaging that guides diagnosis, surgical planning, and post-treatment assessment. The department operates 24/7 to respond to emergency cases and inpatient needs with excellence and reliability.
Unit Structure
The unit is organized into specialized divisions, each managed by qualified radiologists and technologists. Services include Ultrasound (US), X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) with and without contrast, and Doppler studies. This structure facilitates efficient workflow, maximizes patient throughput, and guarantees high diagnostic accuracy across all imaging modalities.
Scope of Each Section
Each imaging service plays a distinct role:
Ultrasound (US): Real-time imaging for soft tissue, abdomen, joints and cardiac evaluations.
X-ray: Rapid and fundamental imaging for bones, chest, and trauma cases.
MRI: High-resolution imaging for complex neurological, cardiac, and musculoskeletal conditions.
CT Scan: Detailed cross-sectional imaging, with or without contrast, supporting complex surgical and diagnostic requirements.
Doppler Studies: Vascular assessments that aid cardiologists and surgeons in evaluating blood flow and vessel conditions.
Eminent Procedures
Radiology performs several advanced and specialized procedures, including contrast-enhanced CT scans for congenital heart disease evaluation, MRI-based cardiac functional studies, and Doppler-guided vascular assessments. The unit also supports interventional procedures in collaboration with other clinical units, ensuring a comprehensive diagnostic-to-treatment pathway.
What We Diagnose
The department assists in diagnosing a wide range of conditions—from congenital anomalies and cardiovascular disorders to neurological, musculoskeletal, and abdominal diseases. Imaging plays a critical role in both acute care and long-term management of complex pediatric and adult cases.
