Radiology Center
The Radiology Center at Samitivej Chinatown Hospital provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic imaging services, including X-ray examinations, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as interventional radiology procedures.
A variety of diagnostic programs are available, including whole-body examinations and assessments for cardiovascular disease, kidney conditions, and disorders affecting the bones, lungs, thyroid gland, liver, stomach, and intestines.
All imaging results are interpreted and reported by experienced radiologists.
Patients undergoing diagnostic imaging are required to receive a physical examination by a physician and obtain a referral before each radiological examination.
The Radiology Center also includes an Advanced Cardiac Imaging Center, dedicated specifically to the diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease using advanced cardiac imaging technologies.
