Memfys Hospital launched its radiology unit in 2002 and has since become recognised as a leading centre for radiology and medical imaging in Nigeria, providing one of the most advanced and reliable Computerised Tomography (CT) and Magetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services in the region.
The hospital also provides routine X-Ray and Ultra Sound services.
CT
Our CT service has come a long way since its launch in 2002, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way to ensure continuity and reliability. The first CT was a Philips single slice and by 2005, MHN installed a second Philips digital CT.
As a result of this committment to maintain and improve the service, Memfys Hospital is now equipped with the latest CT technology, installing Neurologica’s CereTom 8 slice CT System in January of 2009 and Phillips Brilliance 64 Slice CT Scanner in May 2014. The CereTom System allows for advanced CT imaging and accurate diagnostics at the point of care as well as intraoperative CT capability. It is a mobile battery operated CT making MHN one in a coveted league of international hospitals enjoying the privilege of point of care CT scanning including intra-operative CT and ICU CT scanning services. The Phillips Brilliance 64 Slice CT Scanner allows for advanced CT imaging including cardiac and coronary artery imaging and whole body screening for tumours, fractures etc. The Phillips Brilliance 64 Slice CT is the most advanced CT Scanner in the South East of Nigeria.
CT scans are available for both inpatients and outpatients round the clock everyday.
MRI
A Basda BTI 0.35T MRI System was installed in the diagnostic centre which has improved the quality of medical imaging and diagnostic accuracy at the Hospital. MHN’s 0.35T MRI system was the first to be installed in Nigeria and therefore enhanced the quality of MRI diagnostic imaging in the country.
MRI is particularly suitable for:
- Head
- Brain
- Neck
- Chest
- Breast
- Abdomen
- Pelvis
- Spine
- Musculoskeletal
- Joints – hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist
MRI scans are available for both inpatients and outpatients. MHN has seen a rapid increase in our MRI services. This service is available everyday round the clock.
Siemens Mobile Digital X-Ray
