Best Radiologists in Kuala Lumpur | Radiology Services: CT Scan, MRI, and Cardiac Imaging
Radiology is a specialised branch of medicine that focuses on the use of imaging technology to view the inside of the body for diagnostic purposes. Radiologists are medical doctors specialising in the use of advanced equipment and techniques to diagnose, treat, and manage various medical conditions, ensuring that patients receive accurate and timely care.
Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur boasts ultramodern radiological and imaging equipment with state-of-the-art technology and is managed by a dedicated team of specialist radiologists and technologists led by a highly qualified and experienced senior radiological consultant.
For concerned mothers, we also offer non-invasive tests that detect major chromosomal issues through maternal blood evaluation, including prenatal screening with biochemical markers and risk evaluation.

- Perinatal screening (11+6 to 13+6 weeks (NTT+biochemistry)
- Dating scan (11-13 weeks)
- Foetal anomaly scan (20-24 weeks)
- Prevention and detection of preterm labour – cervical length measurement and fibronectin test
- Foetal echocardiography
- Foetal surveillance of high risk cases – diabetes, high blood pressure, growth retarded babies, twin pregnancies
- 3D and 4D scans
Radiological Imaging Facilities at Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur
Our radiology department operates with advanced RIS (Radiology Information System) and PACS (Picture Archiving Communication System). Once the investigation has concluded, images are immediately available to both radiologists and treating physicians via computer system. This digital process enables quicker interpretation, allowing radiological specialists to assess the results without delay. By utilising RIS and PACS, we minimise the risk of losing important medical images and reports, thereby providing a more secure and efficient workflow for patient care.
With PACS, all imaging tests and radiology reports are digitally stored and accessible at any time, allowing for easy comparison with previous results. This capability helps our radiology specialists provide consistent and high-quality care across all your imaging services.
Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur has recently upgraded its CT Scan diagnostic technology to offer multi-slice and multi-formatted 3D imaging, enhancing our diagnostic capabilities. This advanced technology allows us to conduct scans in seconds, providing highly detailed images of the brain, spinal cord, and coronary arteries, among other critical areas. It is particularly useful for non-invasive procedures, such as calcium scoring estimation for coronary arteries, which is becoming increasingly popular with both patients and radiology specialists.
Our CT-guided biopsies and routine drainage procedures benefit from the latest pressure injector technology, ensuring precise injections of contrast medium for clear imaging results. Each 3D image created provides excellent help with the evaluation of issues such as fractures, tumors, and aneurysms with great accuracy.
For complex conditions like pulmonary embolisms, issues with abdominal arteries, and extremities, including neck and brain vessels, our CT angiogram provides a minimally invasive solution, offering guided drainage procedures and significantly reducing the need for more invasive surgeries.
Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that provides detailed insights into various cardiovascular conditions. This advanced imaging tool is crucial for diagnosing and evaluating:
- Congenital heart defects
- Heart valve problems
- Coronary artery blockage and heart attacks
- Congestive heart failure
- Pericardial sac disease
- Heart tumors
Unlike traditional MRI, Cardiac MRI is specifically optimised for the cardiovascular system, allowing for more accurate assessment of key functions and morphological features. This optimization utilizes ECG gating and rapid imaging techniques, enabling faster and more precise results.
Some of the benefits of Cardiac MRI include:
- No ionising radiation is used, ensuring a safer diagnostic process.
- Can perform an infarct imaging using contrast media to help evaluate heart damage caused by previous heart attacks.
- MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) can produce 3D and 4D images of blood vessels and the flow of blood through the vessels.
- With our advanced 3 Tesla MRI, we produce better resolution imaging in a shorter amount of time, making diagnoses quicker and more accurate.
MRI (3T) represents the latest advancement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology, providing exceptional accuracy in diagnosing conditions affecting the brain, spine, joints, and pelvic organs. The 3T MRI is also capable of performing detailed imaging of the liver, biliary tree (MRCPs) as well as pelvic organs, ensuring comprehensive diagnostic coverage.
Recent developments and progress in MRI technology have enhanced its capabilities to conduct breast imaging via a special breast coil specially created for cases that pose diagnostic difficulty. Additionally, the 3T MRI now allows for high-resolution scans of the arteries and veins of the brain, body, abdomen, and other extremities, offering detailed insights into vascular health.
With its superior imaging capabilities, 3T MRI allows our specialists to deliver the most accurate diagnoses for a wide range of neurological, musculoskeletal, and vascular conditions.
