Our Services

We provide comprehensive medical services with modern equipment and expert care for both inpatients and outpatients.

01. Mammography

At the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) radiology department, mammography services provide specialized breast imaging for the early detection, diagnosis, and evaluation of breast conditions. Mammography plays a key role in breast cancer screening, assessment of breast symptoms such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge, and follow-up of previously identified breast abnormalities.

02. Ultrasound

This type of imaging produces pictures of the inside of the human body. It is used to help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infections in the body’s internal organs and to examine babies in pregnant women and the brain and other organs of babies in-vitro. Read More

03. Fluoroscopy

This type of medical imaging shows a continuous x-ray images on a monitor, much like an x-ray movie. These machines are used for special examination such as; barium studies, hysterosalpinogram (H.S.G), Intravenous urogram (I.V.U), Myelograms, etc. Read More

04. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

An MRI machine uses magnetism and radio waves to create clear images of the inside of your body. It helps doctors see organs, joints, and tissues to diagnose and monitor medical conditions safely, without radiation. Read More

05. Nanox

Nanox is a new type of medical imaging machine that can takehigh-quality body scans quickly and safely. It is designed to be more affordable and accessible than traditional imaging machines. Read More

06. X-Ray

An X-ray machine uses a small amount of radiation to create images of the inside of the body. It is fast, safe, and painless. Read More

07. Angiography

Angiography is a medical imaging test that takes pictures of blood vessels in the body using a special dye and X-rays. It is used to check how blood flows and detect blockages or other issues. Read More

08. Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the advanced medical imaging service provided by the Radiology Department of the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC). CT imaging uses X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the body. These images assist clinicians in accurately diagnosing, monitoring, and managing a wide range of medical conditions affecting the brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal system.
