Radiology Department

The Radiology Department at Rajavej Hospital Chiang Mai is equipped with modern medical imaging technology and staffed by skilled radiologists. They offer a comprehensive range of imaging services to diagnose a wide array of conditions. 

Here are the main services provided by the Radiology Department: 

• Computed Tomography (CT Scan) Multi-Slice: A CT scan uses X-rays and computing algorithms to image the body in cross-sectional slices. It is used to visualize internal structures in high detail. The multi-slice CT scanner can capture multiple slices in a single rotation, increasing the speed and coverage of the scan. 

• Ultrasound Machine: Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It's commonly used to view fetuses in the womb, but can also examine organs and tissues throughout the body. 

• Fluoroscopy Machine: Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, almost like an X-ray movie. It's used to visualize moving body structures, guide therapeutic procedures, and more. 

• Breast Cancer Screening with a Mammogram: A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to detect and diagnose breast disease, most commonly breast cancer. Regular mammograms are an important part of early breast cancer detection. 

The department uses the PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) system for X-ray image storage and retrieval, and to facilitate the prompt viewing of images by radiologists. This system allows doctors to access X-ray images immediately after they are taken. 

The Radiology Department is open 24 hours daily, providing around-the-clock access to imaging services. 

The Radiology Department at Rajavej Hospital Chiang Mai offers 24/7 imaging services with advanced technology. Key services include multi-slice CT scans, ultrasounds, fluoroscopy, and mammograms for breast cancer screening. They utilize PACS for efficient image storage and retrieval.
