Radiology
Various imaging methods are used by the medical profession of radiology to identify and treat illnesses and injuries that affect the human body. These imaging techniques give specialists in healthcare precise images of the inside structures that they may use to diagnose patients and create treatment strategies. Radiology is essential to patient treatment and plays a significant part in contemporary medicine.
Types of Radiology Imaging
X-rays:
One of the earliest and most widely used radiological methods is X-ray imaging. It is incredibly useful for identifying fractures, lung diseases, and foreign objects since it employs a small quantity of ionising radiation to produce pictures of bones and interior organs.
Ultrasound: Sound waves are used in ultrasound imaging to provide live pictures of organs and structures. It is frequently used in obstetrics to assess abdominal and cardiovascular problems and to track foetal growth.

Urology And Andrology
- Kidney and Ureteral Stones: This is a condition in which a solid material is formed due to the presence of certain substances in higher proportion in urine. These can be extremely painful and can be found blocking the urine flow from kidneys to the urinary bladder. They are of various sizes and shapes; hence treatment is based on the aspects like- location of the stone, size, surface of stone and shape of stone.
- Bladder stones: They are stones found in urinary bladder.
- Urinary tract obstructions like PUJO (Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction)
- Urinary Tract Infections: any infection that occurs in the urinary system is called as urinary tract infection. This infection could affect the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra.
- Urethral strictures
- Urinary Incontinence: A medical condition that leads to no control over the bladder.
- Neurogenic Bladder: The urinary bladder has nerves and muscles that work in synchronisation to allow urination to occur. But in cases of nerve injury due to an illness or trauma, the nerve endings to the bladder are damaged as well which hamper normal urination. Due to this miscommunication between the nerves and muscles of the bladder occur resulting in improper emptying of the bladder.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Prostate is a gland present in males that is necessary for reproductive functioning. Usually in men this gland tends to grow in size. This enlarged growth of prostate is called as benign prostatic hyperplasia which affects the quality of life for them. It leads to displeasing symptoms like poor flow of urine or difficulty in urine leading to pain or incontinence.
- Hematuria: It is a condition in which blood is present in urine. It can arise in cases of infection, any trauma to the urinary system and due to certain viruses.
- Erectile Dysfunction: A sexual dysfunction that leads to the inability to maintain an erection of penis during sexual activity.
- Prostatitis: Infection of the prostate gland is called as prostatitis.
- Vasectomy Reversal
- Interstitial Cystitis: Interstitial cystitis is also called as bladder pain syndrome. It is a chronic inflammatory condition of the muscular layers of the bladder. The exact cause of Interstitial cystitis is not known as of yet
- Voiding Dysfunction
- Female Urology
- Prostate Cancer: Prostate gland is an essential part of a male reproductive system. It secretes an alkaline fluid that is part of the seminal fluid. This gland is around the urethra and still
- Kidney Cancer: Kidney cancer usually occurs only in one kidney but it can affect both too. Surgery is carried out to remove a part of the kidney that has the tumor or in certain cases the whole kidney might need resection.
- Testicular Cancer: Cancer of testicles could either occur in either one or in both. Testicles are part of the male reproductive system that are necessary for production of male hormones and sperms. If detected early, it is treatable.
- Bladder Cancer: Bladder cancer is cancer of the urinary bladder. If caught in time it can be treated easily.
