Bone Scan will soon be available in RIPAS!
As recently announced by the Department of Radiology RIPAS Hospital, Bone Densitometry service will be available in RIPAS as of May 2009. At last.. no longer will we be guessing whether is this osteopenic bone actually osteoporotic, confirming bony metastases, suspected hot spots for infections etc.etc..
We not sure yet whether it will be able to do Renal DEXA scans, but I'm sure with time the service will extend. This news will certainly be good news to Rheumatologists, Oncologists, Orthopods and many more.
This service will start in May 2009 and will be available only once a week to begin with. Every wednesday and only via appointment requests.. 6 per day. Requests forms will be distributed by the Deparment of Rheumatology soon.
