Radioclinic

Radioclinic is a private diagnostic imaging and gastroenterology center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Established in 2021, the facility focuses on specialized consultations and advanced digestive diagnostics. The medical team includes 12 specialists in internal medicine, hepatology, and endoscopy.### Digestive Health and EndoscopyRadioclinic specializes in diagnosing and managing complex gastrointestinal conditions. Several gastroenterologists focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This supports patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Specialists perform video endoscopic studies to visualize the digestive tract clearly.The clinic offers diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:

• Videogastroscopy and videocolonoscopy for direct visualization of the upper and lower GI tract
• Polypectomy to remove polyps during colonoscopy and prevent colorectal cancer
• Esophageal dilation to widen narrowed areas of the esophagus
• Endoscopic placement of clips to control acute digestive bleeding
• Argon plasma therapy to treat lesions in the stomach or intestines

Physicians provide tailored management for gastritis, including diet and lifestyle guidance. Specialists recommend control tests at least four weeks after treatment to confirm recovery.

### Advanced Motility and Capsule DiagnosticsThe center provides specialized testing for neurogastroenterology and digestive motility. These studies help identify the cause of swallowing difficulties or chronic constipation. The clinic uses esophageal and anorectal manometry to measure muscle pressure and coordination. Patients can also receive 24-hour gastric acidity measurement (pHmetry) to evaluate acid reflux.For non-invasive visualization of the small intestine, the clinic performs capsule endoscopy. Patients swallow a small camera capsule that travels naturally through the digestive system. A belt-worn recorder captures images as the capsule passes. Doctors then process these images to identify hard-to-reach lesions. Dra. Liliana Jimenez trained in this technology in Pamplona, Spain.### Hepatology and Liver CareRadioclinic maintains a focused service line for liver health and hepatology. The team includes a physician with specialized training in liver transplantation. This specialist completed a fellowship at the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda in Spain. This background allows the clinic to manage patients with advanced liver disease and those needing post-transplant monitoring.### Diagnostic Imaging and TechnologyThe clinic operates a dedicated imaging unit to support digestive diagnostics. Specialists perform abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds to check internal organs. Doppler studies evaluate blood flow. The center also provides transrectal and transvaginal sonography, along with thyroid and breast imaging.Radioclinic uses the Fujifilm Eluxeo Lite videoprocessor for endoscopic procedures. This technology provides high-resolution imaging to improve detection of precancerous lesions. The clinic also offers anorectal rehabilitation with biofeedback therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction.### Medical Team and TrainingThe specialist team includes Dr. Socrates Bautista Martinez, Dra. Keyla Villa, and Dr. Howard Vasquez. These physicians focus on inflammatory bowel disease and advanced endoscopy. The clinic supports continued medical education through international programs. Team members have completed specialized training like the Fujifilm-sponsored Total Quality in Endoscopy course.
