Onco Radiology is a specialized branch of radiology dedicated to employing advanced imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound, and PET scan for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Radiologists in this field play a pivotal role in collaborating closely with oncologists to comprehensively detect, stage, and monitor cancer. Their expertise extends beyond diagnosis to guiding radiation therapy, ensuring a holistic approach to cancer care.
These skilled professionals utilize cutting-edge technology to provide precise insights into the nature and progression of tumors, facilitating informed treatment decisions.

Radio-Oncology encompasses diverse imaging modalities, including X-rays, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and PET scans. These techniques offer detailed insights into the internal structures and functions of the body, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.
At Rajkot Cancer Hospital, we recognize the paramount importance of early cancer detection for successful treatment outcomes. Leveraging advanced imaging technology, our facility conducts detailed scan analyses, going beyond technical jargon to deliver personalized narratives in our reports. We meticulously integrate your medical history with imaging findings, crafting a clear roadmap for your doctors. Our unwavering commitment is to provide comprehensive and individualized care, ensuring that each patient receives the attention and support needed throughout their cancer journey.
Our diagnostic services include a range of biopsy procedures tailored to specific areas of concern. CT-guided biopsies are adeptly performed for small, deep-seated lung tumors, extending to cover mediastinal, retroperitoneal, pancreatic, and adrenal tumors. USG-guided biopsies play a crucial role in the evaluation of breast, thyroid, liver, and ovarian tumors, while USG-guided aspirations and pigtail cancer insertions are conducted as needed. For precise diagnosis, transrectal ultrasound guides prostatic biopsies, and transvaginal ultrasound aids in biopsies for female pelvic masses. In the realm of breast health, USG-guided hook wire localization and marker placement are performed for breast masses. Additionally, our facility offers radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors, ensuring a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment for our patients.
Our comprehensive screening services cater to various aspects of health. For breast screening, we employ digital mammography and sonography to ensure a thorough examination. Lung screening involves the use of low-dose CT scans for a comprehensive evaluation, providing detailed insights into pulmonary health. Prostate screening utilizes both abdominal and transrectal ultrasound techniques, allowing for a precise assessment of prostate health. In gynecological screening, we utilize transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasounds, ensuring a comprehensive and detailed assessment of reproductive health. These screening modalities contribute to our commitment to preventive healthcare, offering patients a proactive approach to their well-being.
