‘If abnormalities are detected in the early stages, there are good chances of timely cure of patients. The radiations used in X rays and CT scan are potentially harmful and should be avoided if possible, but the harmful effects are very little in comparison to the benefits for a patient with certain health complaints.’
Talking to IANS, he said that just like routine blood investigations in health checkup, screening can be added as very often, people with no or trivial or non-specific abdominal complaints are found to have fatty liver, gall bladder stones or renal stones etc. Few cases who were otherwise normal come for routine checkup and incidentally small tumour was are detected on USG. "Besides X-ray, radiology helps in imaging procedures in other imaging processes as well. Radiology provides benefits to patients through advanced tools, techniques, and multiple options to detect and treat the disease. It allows the patient to diagnose problems early, which increases their chance of curing themselves. Picture imaging is vital to medical science for treating and diagnosing severe conditions," said Dr Aggrawal.
