Radiology

UK Radiology provides state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services for patients using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclide imaging (nuclear medicine), ultrasonography (US), and conventional radiography (X-ray). UK HealthCare Radiology also performs a wide variety of therapeutic interventional procedures using advanced image-guided techniques
