Cape Radiology – Plumstead

Excellence in Diagnostic Imaging

About Us

Cape Radiology, formerly known as Dr Tuft & Partners Inc., is a leading private radiology practice based in Cape Town, South Africa. While our primary location is at Mediclinic Constantiaberg, we also operate several smaller centres, including our Plumstead facility, to ensure convenient access to high-quality imaging services.

With 12 expert radiologists and a team of over 100 professionals, Cape Radiology is dedicated to providing patient-focused care with an emphasis on accuracy, efficiency, and medical excellence.

Our radiologists are highly trained general specialists, each with subspecialty expertise in areas such as:

• Neuroradiology
• Musculoskeletal imaging
• Cardiac radiology
• Breast imaging
• Endometriosis imaging
• Gastrointestinal (GI) and body imaging
• Interventional radiology

We offer a full range of modern diagnostic imaging modalities, including 3T and 1.5T MRI, MDCT, high-resolution ultrasound, colour Doppler ultrasound, DXA (bone density testing), and conventional radiography. Additionally, we have a dedicated breast imaging centre, providing advanced breast screening services.

Advanced Imaging Technology

At Cape Radiology, we operate a fully digital practice using an advanced Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). This enables us to:

• Store and retrieve digital examination images securely
• Share reports electronically with referring doctors and hospitals
• Utilise 3D imaging tools for enhanced analysis of MRI and CT scans

Our Radiology Information System (RIS) ensures seamless patient data management, facilitating efficient workflow and quick retrieval of medical records.

Specialised Screening Services

We offer cutting-edge screening services for the early detection and prevention of serious conditions, including:

• Breast screening (mammography, breast tomosynthesis, and breast MRI)
• Low radiation dose lung screening
• Virtual colonoscopy
• Non-invasive coronary angiography

Cape PET-CT Centre Collaboration

Cape Radiology is a proud member of a consortium providing PET-CT scans in Cape Town through The Cape PET-CT Centre. PET-CT is an advanced imaging technique that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) to detect and monitor various conditions, including cancer and neurological disorders.
