 Radiology
Within radiology, we perform imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasounds and CT scans. These examinations provide insight into the body's internal structures and allow detection of abnormalities such as fractures, inflammation or tumours.

What does radiological examination involve?
At Medical Centre, we perform various imaging tests to accurately assess your health. Which examinations are necessary is determined according to your symptoms and the doctor's advice. We always guarantee a personal and safe approach. Are you unsure whether a radiological examination is necessary? Our specialists will be happy to advise you.
Mammography
A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breasts that can detect abnormalities, such as lumps or early forms of breast cancer, at an early stage. It is an important part of preventive breast health care.
Bone densitometry
A bone densitometry, also known as a DEXA scan, determines the mineral density of your bones. This can determine whether your bones are healthy and strong, or weakened, and estimate the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
Dermatoscan
A dermatoscan is a non-invasive medical technique to examine and analyse the skin. It is mainly used to detect skin cancer, such as melanoma, and other skin abnormalities early. Dermatologists use this method to closely monitor suspected moles and skin changes.
Duplex survey
A duplex examination combines ultrasound with blood flow measurements to visualise blood vessels. It can be applied to arteries and veins in, for example, the neck, abdomen, legs or arms. This examination helps detect and monitor narrowing, occlusion or dilation of blood vessels early.
Ultrasounds
At Medical Centre, we use ultrasound to get a detailed picture of the kidneys, bladder and prostate. This method uses sound waves, is completely painless and safe, and provides valuable information about the urinary tract and genitals without radiation.
When is a radiological examination recommended?
Are you experiencing prolonged pain, swelling or other unexplained symptoms? An appointment with the radiologist can help identify these symptoms and determine the most appropriate imaging technique. Radiological examination plays an important role in the early detection of conditions and the creation of an appropriate treatment plan. Common reasons for radiological examination include:
Bone and joint disorders - X-ray examination assists in identifying fractures, arthritis or other joint problems.Complaints in the abdomen - Ultrasound or CT scans provide insight into organs such as liver, gallbladder and kidneys.Neurological complaints - MRI scans allow detection of abnormalities in the brain or spinal cord.Lung-related problems - X-ray or CT examination helps detect pneumonia, tumours or other abnormalities.Vascular problems - Angiography maps blood vessels to identify constrictions, dilations or aneurysms.
Early identification prevents complications
The earlier a condition is detected, the better the chances of effective treatment. In case of persistent or unexplained symptoms, your doctor may recommend imaging tests such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI scan. These safe examinations provide valuable information about the condition of your body and support making an accurate diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan.
What can you expect during a radiology consultation?
1. Referral & Registration
A radiological examination usually takes place after referral by your doctor. Depending on your symptoms and medical background, we determine which imaging is most appropriate, such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI scan. Upon your arrival, we check your data and ensure efficient and correct preparation.
2. Imaging
The examination is performed by a radiological technologist, supported by state-of-the-art equipment. Each examination follows a set protocol to obtain clear and reliable images, while ensuring your safety and comfort at all times.
3. Analysis of images & Reporting
The radiologist analyses the images taken and prepares a medical report. This report is forwarded to your referring physician, who discusses the results with you. If necessary, additional investigations or treatment advice may follow based on the findings.
