At Eden Gardens Private Hospital, our Radiology Services are provided in partnership with Jackpersad & Partners Inc., a team of Specialist Diagnostic Radiologists providing advanced radiological imaging services across KwaZulu-Natal. The radiology unit combines specialist expertise, modern imaging technology and a patient-focused approach to support accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and ongoing medical care.
Comprehensive Radiology Services
Our Radiology Services provide access to a broad range of diagnostic imaging examinations, allowing doctors to investigate injuries, illnesses and other medical conditions efficiently. Depending on your clinical needs, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following imaging services.
General X-Rays
General X-rays are commonly used to examine bones, joints and other areas of the body. They can assist doctors in identifying fractures, abnormalities and other conditions. X-ray examinations are non-invasive and are generally completed within a relatively short period.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures within the body. It is a versatile imaging technique that can be used for a range of diagnostic purposes and is commonly used to assess soft tissues and organs.
Computerised Tomography (CT)
CT scanning combines X-ray technology with computer-generated cross-sectional images to provide detailed views of the body. CT imaging can help doctors assess bones, organs, blood vessels, muscles and other structures, supporting the diagnosis and management of a wide range of medical conditions.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body’s internal structures. It is particularly useful for examining soft tissues and can provide images in multiple planes. Jackpersad & Partners Inc. has highly trained MRI radiographers and radiologists to support patients throughout the examination.
Mammography and Breast Imaging
Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue and can assist with the early detection and diagnosis of breast conditions. Breast biopsy services are also available when a tissue sample is required for laboratory assessment. Tomosynthesis, which produces three-dimensional breast images using multiple X-ray views, is another advanced breast imaging option.
Bone Densitometry
Bone densitometry, also known as DEXA or BMD testing, uses low-dose X-rays to assess bone density. It is commonly performed on areas such as the hips and lumbar spine and can help doctors evaluate bone strength and identify reduced bone density.
Advanced Imaging and Specialist Services
In addition to routine imaging, Jackpersad & Partners Inc. provides specialised Radiology Services including interventional radiology, fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine, PET CT, SPECT/CT and musculoskeletal radiology. Interventional radiology uses image guidance to assist with minimally invasive procedures, including biopsies, vascular access, drainage procedures and other specialised interventions.
Fluoroscopy provides continuous X-ray imaging, allowing doctors to view internal structures in real time during selected examinations and procedures. Nuclear medicine uses radiopharmaceuticals to provide functional information about organs and tissues, while PET CT and SPECT/CT combine nuclear medicine techniques with detailed anatomical imaging.
Patient-Centred Radiology Services
At Eden Gardens Private Hospital, we understand that undergoing diagnostic imaging can sometimes be unfamiliar or stressful. Our Radiology Services are supported by experienced professionals who aim to provide patients with a comfortable, respectful and efficient experience while delivering the imaging information required by their treating healthcare team.
Whether you require a routine X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, mammogram or more specialised diagnostic imaging, our Radiology Services provide access to comprehensive imaging expertise within the hospital environment. Your doctor will advise you on the most appropriate examination based on your symptoms, medical history and clinical requirements.
