Advanced imaging plays a significant role in evaluating complex rheumatic, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. The Department of Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology at Apollo Adlux Hospital provides radiographic interpretation covering X-rays of the upper and lower limb extremities, knee, hip with sacroiliac joints, spine and chest.

Further imaging capabilities include CT chest and CECT abdomen, along with MRI examinations of the hip, sacroiliac joints, thighs and brain. Such investigations can provide important structural and inflammatory information when assessing patients with complex rheumatological presentations. MRI of the sacroiliac joints is specifically relevant to the evaluation of conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis.

MR angiography of the aorta is included for the assessment of large-vessel vasculitis. Advanced vascular imaging can assist in evaluating conditions involving major blood vessels, including the types of vasculitis described within the department's clinical scope.

Radiological findings are interpreted alongside clinical assessment, laboratory investigations and other diagnostic procedures rather than being considered in isolation. This integrated approach helps correlate imaging abnormalities with symptoms and suspected rheumatological disease.

Interpretation expertise also extends to muscle, skin and renal biopsies in rheumatological conditions, allowing pathological and radiological findings to contribute to a broader diagnostic picture.

Comprehensive imaging and interpretation services therefore complement the department's procedural and immunological expertise, supporting detailed evaluation of patients with systemic, inflammatory and musculoskeletal disorders.
