I'm very satisfied with this medical clinic. I had my first pregnancy screening here. It was affordable and very professional. The radiologist was welcoming, kind, and made the experience great.
Aizhan Tokmanbetova
Hurt my knee Friday night and got an MRI appointment Sunday evening (booked Sunday afternoon). Waited about 2 minutes and was done in just over 30 minutes. The team was amazing, friendly and efficient.

Dr. Osama's team was gentle and amazing. After a bad experience elsewhere, my pelvic exam here was much more professional. Great report and very precise.

A shoulder X-ray provides essential visualization of the glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular (AC) joint, proximal humerus, scapula, and clavicle. It is the first imaging study ordered for shoulder pain, trauma, instability, and suspected dislocations. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, our digital shoulder X-ray captures high-resolution images that reveal fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and calcific deposits with precision.
Shoulder dislocation is one of the most common joint dislocations encountered in emergency and orthopedic practice. X-ray is essential for confirming the direction of dislocation (anterior or posterior), identifying associated fractures such as Hill-Sachs lesions or Bankart fractures, and verifying successful reduction after treatment. Our radiographers are trained to obtain the appropriate views even when shoulder mobility is limited by pain.
Calcific tendinitis is a frequent cause of acute shoulder pain in adults aged 30 to 60. Calcium hydroxyapatite deposits form within the rotator cuff tendons, most commonly the supraspinatus tendon, and are clearly visible on shoulder X-ray as dense white deposits. The size and location of calcifications help guide treatment decisions, from conservative management with physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory medication to ultrasound-guided aspiration or shockwave therapy.
