Primary care radiology

Primary care radiology is aimed mainly at general practitioners who need an initial, simple and rapid scan of their patients, using standard radiography and ultrasound.

This will only be in cases where there is a need to redirect the patient, in agreement with the prescribing doctor, to a heavy imaging centre (CT, MRI, PET scan) to complete the assessment.

Standard radiography

  • Osteoarticular
    (probing for fractures, degenerative disorders)
  • Thorax
    (pulmonary area examination, signs of cardiac decompression, pneumothorax, rib fractures, etc.)
  • Abdomen
    ​(examination for signs of constipation, blockage, digestive blockage)

General ultrasound

  • Abdominal
    (Organ assessment, monitoring a kidney or liver transplant, probing for appendicitis, etc.)
  • Pelvic
    (mass balance, ovarian or testicular torsion, etc.)
  • Musculoskeletal
    (muscle strain, tendon strain, degenerative disorders, mass balance)
  • ENT
    (cervical lymph nodes, masses, thyroid, salivary glands)
  • Breasts
    ​(mass assessment, abscess, post-operational monitoring)

This will only be in cases where, in agreement with the prescribing doctor, there is uncertainty or there is a need to redirect the patient to a heavy imaging centre (CT, MRI, PET scan) to complete the assessment.
