Radiology Department

About Department

- Diagnosis of endemic diseases affecting the liver, gastrointestinal & urinary tract using different imaging modalities (X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging).
- Treatment of liver diseases using less invasive interventional techniques (Hepatic angiography, chemoembolization of hepatic tumors – percutaneous trans hepatic drainage – trans jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt).
- Helping diagnose and treat some renal & gastrointestinal diseases by angiography.

Mission

Continuous research for new imaging modalities helping in the proper diagnosis and treatment of those diseases and their complications.

Vision

To serve as a strong backbone for TBRI as an excellence center for research and diagnosis of endemic diseases in the region.

Services

The diagnosis and treatment of endemic diseases and their complications, especially those affecting the liver, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract mainly due to schistosomiasis and viral hepatitis. This is to meet the social, economic, and technological needs of Egypt and the regional areas.
Improving the offered service and increasing the number of served patients by purchasing new advanced radiological equipment “MRI”.

Training

Every resident spends two years at different radiological units and then spends one year as a visitor resident at a university hospital.

1. Internal training programs

· Lecturers & assistant lecturers can spend short training periods at different research institutes and university hospitals.

· The department offers training programs for visitor radiologists at different units.

2. External training programs.

· Dr. Mohamed Hosni Kamel (Interventional radiology at Stanford University in the USA).

· Dr. Mohamed Farouk Hussain (Interventional Radiology at Beaujon Hospitals Paris in France).

· Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Abdelrazek (Interventional Radiology at Stanford University in the USA).

3. Scholarships.

4. Fellow ships.
