IDoR an opportunity to look to the future
The radiology team at Highgate Private Hospital.
To mark the International Day of Radiology in November Highgate Private Hospital in London highlighted how imaging and diagnostics has contributed to better treatment success rates.
The hospital’s imaging department is equipped with the latest technology including digital x-ray, interventional radiology, 1.5T wide bore MRI, CT scanner and ultrasound. These offer patients the highest quality imaging vital for rapid diagnosis and improved outcomes, usually on the same day via a walk-in service.
Diagnostic lead clinical radiographer David Doyne said: “One of the most crucial elements about treating a patient is timing; if a condition or a disease can be spotted early through diagnosis then it makes a fundamental difference to the outcome. The diagnosis facilities now available in addition to greater awareness of early symptoms of diseases have contributed to increased success rates of treatments particularly in cancer.”
