According to the Head of the Imaging Service, Dr. Ermira Hysa, the department provides digital radiography, a full suite of ultrasound examinations, and computed tomography (CT).

‘We currently operate two CT scanners to perform these diagnostic procedures,’ Hysa stated.”

Nuclear medicine uses a gamma camera for imaging tests like thyroid, lung, kidney, and bone scans. Soon, the imaging department will add a new MRI machine to improve patient diagnosis, added Hysa.

Scintigraphy is a key diagnostic test that evaluates organ and tissue function, guiding patient treatment and follow-up.

According to Dr. Hysa, the “Shefqet Ndroqi” University Hospital imaging service will soon add magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

This upgrade expands their diagnostic capabilities, offering a more precise and comprehensive health assessment.
