Imaging is often the first step to diagnosis, so it must be accurate and quick. KMC’s Medical Imaging Department is equipped with cutting-edge technology to visualize what is happening inside your body. “Our motto is ‘see clearly, treat precisely,’” says our Radiology Director who leads an excellent team of radiologists and technicians, many of whom trained abroad.
Our high-powered machines take crystal-clear images, from head to toe. Our suite includes a 3T MRI (for detailed brain, spine, and soft tissue scans), a 128-slice CT scanner (ideal for bones, chest, and vascular imaging), and an advanced digital X-ray and mammography system high- resolution ultrasound technology ( perfect for abdominal, pelvic, vascular, and obstetric imaging, fluoroscopy for dynamic real – time imaging , and hysterosalpingography for evaluating fertility - related conditions. Every image is reviewed by board-certified radiologists who immediately communicate results to your doctor.
Comfort and Speed: We know scans can be stressful. Our MRI has noise-reduction headphones and a gentle, soothing staff presence. Our CT and X-ray procedures are very quick (breath-hold CTs take seconds), meaning less time in the machine.
Interventional Radiology: Beyond diagnostics, we offer minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging – for example, targeted biopsies to diagnose tumors (Breast Biopsy and FNA), or pain-relief injections for arthritic joints. These techniques often allow treatment without traditional surgery.
Patient-Friendly: Our digital system means you get images on DVD or USB right away, and reports are available fast (often within 24 hours). In many cases, verbal results can even be shared immediately after your imaging study is completed. We can even send your results securely by email if you are traveling abroad, so your healthcare team at home stays updated.
Patient Story: Omar from Iraq flew in after a confusing lung scan abroad. “KMC repeated a CT scan here and identified a small spot we had missed,” he says. “Because they acted fast, the lesion was removed easily. The radiologist explained everything, which made me so much less anxious.”
Frequently Asked: “Are the scans safe?” Absolutely – our machines use low radiation doses for CT, and MRI uses no radiation at all. We carefully follow international safety standards. “Can children get scanned?” Yes, our pediatric MRI has special pediatric protocols (and child-size ear protection). We also have play therapy staff to prepare children before scans, making the experience friendly.
Unique KMC Feature: Our imaging is seamlessly integrated with all KMC services. Got an emergency? Our radiologist is on-call 24/7 to read trauma images. In oncology, tumor boards meet weekly where imaging is reviewed together with oncologists and surgeons to plan your best treatment. We even have a glass-walled viewing room where patients can watch part of the MRI process on a screen, helping demystify the technology. In short, KMC’s imaging isn’t just scans; it’s a window to your health, interpreted by experts who know you’re a person, not just a picture.
