Department of Radiology

The Radiology Department at Avicenna Medical Complex, G-9/1, Islamabad, has been a cornerstone of diagnostic imaging for residents of Islamabad and Rawalpindi for decades. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technology and delivers comprehensive diagnostic services.

Advanced Imaging Equipment

• CT Scan: Canon Aquilion ONE/PRISM Edition (640-slice) with Deep Learning Spectral Reconstruction and AiCE, along with a 64-slice Toshiba Aquilion.
• MRI: High-field 1.5 Tesla Philips MRI system.
• Color Doppler Ultrasound: Advanced GE and Canon machines.
• Fluoroscopy: Canon and Siemens real-time imaging systems.
• DR X-Ray: Digital radiography units from GE and Canon.
• OPG: Canon panoramic dental imaging machine.

Academic & Training Role

As an integral part of a teaching hospital, the department actively contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. A structured residency program trains radiology specialists annually under the supervision of experienced faculty.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

Regulatory Compliance

The department is certified by the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA) and complies with all regulatory requirements of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission. Regular audits and inspections ensure stringent radiation safety protocols.

Quality Assurance

Commitment to excellence is reinforced through ISO 9001:2008 certification, ensuring standardized processes and continuous quality improvement.

24/7 Diagnostic Services

The department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, serving inpatients, outpatients, and external referrals. Approximately 10,000 patients are supported monthly by a skilled team of radiologists, radiographers, and IT staff.

Digital Transformation

The department is transitioning to a film-less environment through the implementation of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Retrofit (DR) systems reduce waiting time, minimize radiation exposure, and accelerate report turnaround.

A Voice Recognition System (VRS) has been integrated to further expedite reporting and enhance patient satisfaction.
