This department is divided into 2 sections : ultrasound and radiography.  Here we help doctors identify the diseases patients suffer from through taking internal photographs of patients.  This is to enable doctors to prescribe medication based on what they have seen on photos.

We take all types of photos except the complicated ones that need high sophisticated cameras fount at Ngwelezana.  We use specialized lubrication or oil to view the internal part of the patient body especially those that are pregnant.
