Our Services

At SCP Radiology, we offer an extensive range of diagnostic services, each designed to provide accurate results for a variety of medical needs. Our services are continually updated to meet the evolving demands of modern healthcare.

Bone Densitometry

Bone densitometry is crucial in assessing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This test provides a detailed measurement of bone density, offering essential insights into a patient’s bone health.

Computed Tomography (CT)

CT scans are invaluable for detecting abnormalities across multiple organ systems. By providing detailed cross-sectional images, CT imaging aids in diagnosing conditions ranging from cancer to infections.

Cone Beam CT (CBCT)

CBCT technology produces highly detailed 3D images, particularly beneficial in dental and musculoskeletal imaging. This service helps to visualise bone structures with incredible clarity, assisting with precise treatment planning.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy offers real-time imaging, which is especially effective during certain procedures, such as gastrointestinal and cardiovascular assessments. This service helps doctors track movements in real-time, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions during treatment.

General X-ray Imaging

X-ray imaging remains a fundamental tool in diagnostics, useful for identifying bone fractures, joint conditions, and even soft tissue diseases. This straightforward technique provides quick and clear results.

Interventional Procedures

Our interventional radiology services use advanced imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures. These treatments, which can address conditions like cancer and vascular diseases, provide effective solutions with fewer risks and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgery.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI is a non-invasive imaging method that utilises strong magnetic fields and radio waves. This technique allows us to capture detailed images of soft tissues, making it particularly valuable for diagnosing neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

Mammography

Mammography plays a key role in the early detection of breast cancer. Through high-resolution X-ray imaging, we can identify abnormalities in the breast tissue, helping patients get the care they need at the earliest stage possible.

Neuro-interventional Radiology

Our neuro-interventional radiology services specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the brain and spine. With the aid of advanced imaging, we can provide targeted treatments, often avoiding the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Paediatric Radiology

We understand the unique needs of children, which is why our paediatric radiology services are tailored to ensure comfort and accuracy. Our child-friendly equipment and experienced staff help make the process as stress-free as possible for both children and parents.

Positron Emission Tomography CT (PET-CT)

Available at the Cape PET-CT Centre in Panorama, PET-CT scans combine functional and anatomical imaging. This advanced technique is crucial for oncology, enabling the detection of cancerous cells and monitoring treatment responses.

Theatre Radiography

In theatre, we provide essential radiographic support during surgeries. Using real-time imaging, we help surgical teams to make informed decisions, improving the accuracy of procedures and patient outcomes.

Ultrasound & Doppler

Our ultrasound and Doppler services cover a wide range of examinations, from abdominal and vascular studies to obstetrics and musculoskeletal scans. These services provide non-invasive, real-time insights into internal conditions.

Additional Information

SCP Radiology remains committed to patient comfort, employing state-of-the-art imaging equipment to ensure the highest standards of care. Our wide-bore MRI machines and ambient lighting create a more relaxing experience for patients, alleviating anxiety during scans.

Moreover, we accept medical aid rates, making our services accessible to a broader range of patients. We also encourage patients to inquire about the costs of specific procedures and the extent of medical aid coverage.

Our team of radiologists, supported by skilled radiographers and compassionate nurses, has served the Western Cape for over 70 years. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care with the same pioneering spirit that has driven us since our inception.
