Welcome to Cape Radiology
Cape Radiology, formerly Dr Tuft & Partners Inc., is committed to providing the highest quality patient care. Quality imaging, diagnostic excellence and the needs of our patients form the cornerstone of our service ethos.
Being a multi-specialty Radiology Practice, our team of HPCSA certified, diagnostic radiologists are committed to providing the highest quality radiological services possible to our patients. We utilise state-of-the-art Radiology equipment and have an optimised workflow in a fully digital PACS environment.
In 2024 we launched the new 3 Tesla MRI Unit at Mediclinic Constantiaberg.
New 3T MRI Unit
We are proud to announce the launch of a new 3 Tesla MRI at Mediclinic Constantiaberg – the fastest diagnostic MRI available.
An MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) uses magnets and radio waves to provide images of what is happening inside your body. A 3T MRI, or 3 Tesla MRI, uses very powerful magnets – 15 times more powerful than an open MRI scanner. This means that the results are clearer, and doctors can better see the details of soft tissue and organs. It also means the results are faster, at 100 times the speed of a standard MRI exam.
Most noteworthy to some, is that the design of the machine has changed to offer patients more physical space. Patients can also keep their head outside of the “tube” for scans that don’t involve the spine, neck or head.
Our machine was commissioned in late March 2024 and runs alongside our existing 1.5 Tesla unit.
