DIGITAL X-RAY
Making the transition from analog to digital could bring several advantages to X-Ray imaging. These would include improvement in contrast and other aspects of image quality by means of image processing: radiological images could be compared more with those obtained from other imaging modalities, electronic distribution of images within hospitals could make remote access and archiving possible, highly qualified personnel could service remote or poorly populated regions from a central facility by means of ‘teleradiology’ and, radiologists could use computers more effectively to help with diagnosis.
Computed Radiography (CR) systems use equipment similar to conventional radiography except that in place of an X-Ray film, an imaging plate is used to create the digital image, which is then transferred to a computer.
X-Ray films are no longer taken to a darkroom or an automatic film processor to be developed in chemical tanks. With Computed Radiography, the imaging plate is run through a special laser scanner to read the image and transferred digitally to the computer to appear on the screen. The digital image can then be viewed and be contrasted or color-enhanced for better visibility.
With Computed Radiography, minor exposure faults can be corrected digitally, saving time and the danger of excessive radiation exposure to the patient.
Sonography
Sonography is a non-invasive imaging modality using sound waves and is extremely safe even in pregnancy, as it does not involve any radiations. Sonography has applications for the entire body from head to toe. Male or female, infant or adult, throughout your lifetime, sonography can play a vital role in your healthcare. Indeed, versatile, safe, non-invasive and yet effective, the importance of ultrasonography in medicine cannot be underplayed.

Computed Tomography (CT Scan)
has witnessed a change over the past 20 years. It is said that the use of CT for applications in radiological diagnosis during the 70s sparked a revolution in the field of medical engineering. Innovative scanners, advanced applications were introduced in the CT technology that brought about exciting breakthroughs in clinical procedures that helped in addressing various public health issues. In the Indian scenario, CT technology has today become an indispensable and integral component of routine work in clinical and medical practice, specifically in radio-diagnosis and procedures such as colonography, cancer detection and staging, lung analysis, cardiac studies and radiotherapy planning.
WHY CT SCAN AT RUDRA?
Faster Acquisition at Optimised Dose
It is important for clinicians to get fast and high-quality acquisitions at optimised dose for patients young and old, large built and small built & across a wide spectrum of procedures like: cardiac, peripheral angiography, brain, chest, abdomen, orthopedic, oncology and more. The Optima CT660 provides clinicians with information for efficient and definitive diagnoses at low-dose while patients stay calm and comfortable. This feature helps clinicians to build patient’s confidence and is quiet useful while examining aged people and children.
High Image Quality
For radiologists, it’s important that the CT Scanner delivers high IQ particularly Z-axis visualisation. The Optima CT660 enables acquisition of 128 slices per rotation in axial scanning modes and delivers improved Z-axis visualisation relative to non-overlapped reconstruction. The system also provides for better image clarity and optimised imaging power for most critical studies. “With the help of this CT Scanner, we are able to examine the coronaries very efficiently. Moreover, earlier we used Doppler for diagnosis of gangrenes and thrombosis assessment. But now, with this CT scanner all of these functions can be performed efficiently.
A revolution for CT systems
CT Scanners like Optima CT660 are set to revolutionise CT technology. Such systems are definitely sought by radiologists that need to manage heavy patient workflow; especially old aged patients and children. This low dose CT machine also helps address the challenge of radiation dose management which is crucial not only for patients but, also clinicians.
The Optima CT660 is also environmentally friendly with a design for refurbishment and end-of-life recycling, and with electronics innovations that cut power consumption by 60 percent using the energy saving mode.
Nothing matters more than patient’s welfare. The Optima CT660 provides clinicians information for fast and definitive diagnoses in low-dose exams. Optima CT660’s fast clinical applications have helped us increase our throughput by 50 per cent and has facilitated our clinicians to make fast and confident diagnosis.”
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
This is a procedure that uses magnetic fields and radiowaves to produce an image of the body in cross sections. This enables excellent images, particularly of soft tissue such as the brain and internal organs. MRI is generally used whenever X-Ray or ultrasound examinations do not deliver clear results.

Mammography
Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
WHY MAMMOGRAPHY AT Rudra Imaging & Diagnostics?
An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
Screening Mammography
Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them. Current guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) recommend screening mammography every year for women, beginning at age 40. Research has shown that annual mammograms lead to early detection of breast cancers, when they are most curable and breast-conservation therapies are available.
