All examinations are performed using modern digital imaging systems to ensure high image quality, rapid reporting and reduced radiation exposure where possible.
DIGITIAL MAMMOGRAPHY
A mammogram is a specialized X-ray of the breast that produces high-resolution images, enabling doctors to detect cancer and other abnormalities before symptoms appear. This simple, fast and generally painless procedure requires no special preparation.
Regular mammogram screening is one of the most effective ways to prevent breast cancer and reduce its impact; lowering mortality rates and easing the emotional and economic burden on families, institutions and society.
Breast cancer is often called a “silent killer” because it may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection through mammography greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.
The risk of breast cancer rises with age. Women aged 40–50 and above are encouraged to begin regular screenings, and from age 55, to continue every 2–3 years. Depending on individual risk factors, some women may need more frequent screenings, as advised by our doctors.
DIGITAL MOBILE C-ARM
Our Digital Mobile C-Arm is an advanced imaging system that produces uninterrupted, high‑resolution digital X‑ray images during surgical and orthopaedic procedures.
Unlike traditional X-ray machines, the C-Arm is highly versatile. It can move vertically, horizontally and swivel around the patient to capture images from almost any angle. This flexibility enables our surgeons to monitor progress throughout the procedure and identify issues instantly. It also reduces the need for repeated exposure and prolonged operations by delivering clear and accurate images on the first attempt.

- Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a safe, fast and minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that allows our doctors to examine the upper and lower digestive tract. Endoscopy uses the body’s natural openings (mouth or rectum) to view the digestive tract.
We provide both upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy (lower gastrointestinal endoscopy).
This procedure helps us identify the causes of symptoms such as:
- Difficulty swallowing
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Chronic diarrhoea
- Blood in stools
- Constipation
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Unexplained weight loss
- Unusual bowel habits
Endoscopy can also detect ulcers, tumours and inflammations, and allows doctors to assess growths to determine whether they are benign or cancerous for timely and a higher chance of treatment.
