Radiology and Imaging Hospital in Hyderabad
Medical radiology and imaging technology are an irreplaceable component of modern diagnostic services. Yashoda Institute of Radiology and Imaging is a synergy of the advanced radio-imaging facilities, skilled radiologists and technicians, so as to offer, the referring doctors and the patients, an overall assessment of suspected diseases or anomalies.
Diagnostic imaging and radiology
Diagnostic radiologists make use of latest technological advances in radiation, magnetism, and sound waves to explore disease-causing structural changes or defects. Yashoda Institute of Radiology and Imaging supports physicians and surgeons across multidisciplinary institutes in Yashoda Hospitals with radiology and imaging diagnostics such as 3-Tesla MRI, 64 – slice CT, vascular doppler, ultrasonography, digital X-ray (roentgenography), 3D mammography, myelography and fluoroscopy.
The radiologists closely work with specialty clinicians to ensure all the required information is interpreted from the diagnostic data. Also, the team works together to reduce the possible risks and complications that are related to the procedure.
Intra-operative diagnostics
Intra-operative MRI and virtual procedures such as 3D virtual bronchoscopy, 3D virtual colonoscopy, have paved new paths towards unprecedented surgical outcomes especially in neurosurgery and pulmonary surgery divisions. These intra-operative diagnostic procedures not only offer surgeon the ease and better surgical-site approach but also an array of benefits to the patient. Improved surgical corrections in a single sitting, lesser complications, smaller incisions and scar, faster recovery and sooner return to the normal routine are some of the patient-centric benefits. Also with technical advances, in many cases these days, radiological procedures successfully obviate the need for invasive procedures.
Advanced 3T MRI Radiology Hospital in Hyderabad
Best in class technologies and facilities:
Dual Source Dual Energy CT – Computed tomography (CT) scan offers a detailed, high-quality, 360-degree or cross-sectional image of human anatomy. The radiologists control the equipment and X-ray beams to scan soft tissues, bones and internal organs to identify abnormalities such as injuries, infection, tumor, and degeneration. Dual source CT scan uses two sources of X-ray and helps to detect diseases faster with reduced exposure to radiation. This is extremely useful for diseases of blood vessels.
1.5T MRI and 3T MRI –Â Magnetic resolution imaging (MRI) is a combined power of magnetism and radio waves that results in images that offer great accuracy and detailing of soft tissues, bones and internal organs.
Intra-operative MRI –Â Surgeons and radiologists integrate diagnosis and therapeutic interventions with great care to give patients the best possible outcomes from the surgeries, especially heart surgeries and brain surgeries. Yashoda Hospitals being the first in India with Intra-operative MRI (iMRI) is the pioneer of this cutting-edge diagnostic technology.
Ultrasonography – Ultrasonography uses sound waves to produce an image of internal organs and structures. It is used for diagnosis of diseases affecting organs in any part of the body, especially in breast imaging and echocardiogram. Ultrasonography is also used as guidance for biopsies. Usually noninvasive, however, a probe may be used for transesophageal echocardiogram, transrectal ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound.
2D and 3D Digital mammography – Digital mammography (tomosynthesis)coupled with 3D technology allows oncologists and gynecologists to evaluate for tumors (and cancer) and also guide biopsies.
Virtual bronchoscopy – A special software converts the standard CT images into 3D moving pictures of the inside of the bronchus similar to a fibreoptic bronchoscopy. It finds importance in visualization of lumen (airways), walls of trachea and bronchial tree.Â
Digital X-ray – The utility of X-ray sensors gives digital X-ray an upper hand over conventional X-ray in terms of enhanced quality image and cost-effectiveness. Digital X-ray may be used to detect bone injuries and diseases, digestive problems and many more health conditions.
Elastography –Â Elastography is a modality that uses shear waves using ultrasound or magnetic resonance to diagnose the mechanical elasticity of soft tissues and the resistance they offer to distortion.Â
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) – DEXA measures bone mineral density and thus bone loss by using two beams of X-ray. It is useful in the diagnosis of bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a radiology diagnostic test?
A radiology diagnostic test or diagnostic imaging test is a medical procedure that uses advanced techniques and cutting-edge machinery to create images of body parts from within the body to diagnose illness and injury. Examples include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and Ultrasound.
What diseases do radiologists treat?
Radiologists treat a wide range of diseases and injuries, using diagnostic imaging tests, such as cancers, heart diseases, bone fractures, lung diseases, dental problems, and uterine disorders.
What is intra-operative diagnosis?
It is the most vital part of any surgery as it quickly determines the underlying issues and often guides during any surgery to determine malignant or benign pathology. Here are some techniques performed under intra-operative diagnosis: Frozen Section or Crush Cytology.
What can radiology cause?
Radiation from these radiologic examinations can damage DNA and increase the risk of developing cancer. Prolonged exposure to this radiation can also cause skin irritation, cataracts, and hair loss. In some instances, exposure to high doses of radiation may even result in birth abnormalities.
What is the latest technology in radiology?
Yashoda Hospitals offers the best in class technologies and facilities such as Dual Source Dual Energy CT, 3T MRI and Intra-operative MRI, Ultrasonography, 3D Digital mammography, Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and Digital X-ray.
