Radiology Department
The Radiology Department is an integrated department in Prince Na'ran University Hospital and has evolved significantly in recent years to meet the increasing demand for various types of imaging, including the addition of a CT scanner to the department. The Radiology Department utilizes advanced technologies for diagnostic imaging procedures and provides services around the clock to serve patients, visitors, and emergency cases.
And the services offered by the Radiology Department in general specialties:

   1- X-Ray  
X-rays are a quick and painless test that produces images of the structures inside the body, especially bones, where X-ray beams pass through the body and are absorbed differently by materials of varying densities. Dense materials, such as bones and metals, appear white in X-ray images, while air in the lungs appears black. Fats and muscles appear as gray shades.
X-ray technology is used to examine many parts of the body, including arthritis, osteoporosis, lung infections and heart enlargement, and other conditions.

   2-Ultrasound (ULTRA SOUND )  
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce diagnostic images using a safe technology without radiation, in ultrasound procedures? A small amount of gel is placed on the skin, then the imaging probe sends harmless high-frequency sound waves into the body. Some tests may use different probes (with different capabilities) during a single examination. This type of radiation is used for several examinations, including: diagnosing gallbladder diseases, thyroid gland examination, detecting reproductive and prostate problems, and others.
Most examinations take between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on the type of examination.

  3-Computed Tomography (CT): 

Computed tomography is a technique that uses X-rays to produce three-dimensional digital images.
Computed tomography is used for chest, abdomen, pelvis, head and neck imaging, brain imaging, peripheral nervous system imaging, skull imaging, hand and wrist imaging, shoulder imaging, foot and ankle imaging, and joint imaging.?
Most examinations take 10 to 15 minutes.
Examinations without contrast do not require any specific preparation, while contrast examinations require a 4-hour fast, and kidney function tests.

   4- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): 
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues within the body. 
Most MRI scanners are shaped as large cylindrical magnets. When lying inside an MRI scanner, the magnetic field within the scanner, along with radio waves and hydrogen atoms in the body, generates cross-sectional images. 
It is important to ensure during MRI scans that there are no metals in the patient's body as they pose a risk to their safety, in addition to that their presence may distort the resulting MRI images. 

    5- Mammogram 
A breast X-ray (mammogram) is an X-ray image of the breasts. It can be used either to detect a breast cancer or for diagnostic purposes, such as verifying symptoms or unusual findings in another imaging test. 
Breast X-rays (mammograms) play an important role in detecting breast cancer. They can detect breast cancer before it shows any signs or symptoms.
