Specialised care and treatments offered
BONE DENSITOMETRY (DEXA SCAN)
The DEXA scan measures bone mineral density which helps diagnose osteoporosis - a condition characterized by fragile bones prone to fractures. This test is painless and quick yet highly informative for bone health assessment.
- Symptoms/Causes: Recommended especially for postmenopausal women,0 years+, patients with fracture history, certain medication users affecting bone strength.
- Diagnosis: The scan compares bone density against norms establishing risk levels for fractures.
- Treatment/Management: Results inform preventive measures including lifestyle changes, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, medications enhancing bone mass.
- What to Expect: Testing involves lying on a table while low-dose X-rays pass through bones - typically spine & hip; it lasts about 10-20 minutes.
\nRegular screening via DEXA promotes early intervention reducing fracture risks substantially.
CT SCAN WITH CONTRAST
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan enhanced with contrast dye provides cross-sectional images that allow precise evaluation of bones, blood vessels and soft tissues. It is widely used when detailed anatomical information is needed quickly.
- Symptoms/Causes: Indicated for trauma assessment, tumor evaluation, vascular anomalies detection or infection localization when initial exams are inconclusive.
- Diagnosis: Contrast dye highlights specific tissues improving visibility of abnormalities including tumors or blockages within vessels/organs during scanning phases.
- Treatment/Management:This data supports planning surgeries or targeted therapies by pinpointing exact lesion locations and extents effectively.
- What to Expect: Patients receive intravenous contrast before lying supine inside the scanner; procedure duration is around 15-30 minutes requiring steady positioning.
Contrast-enhanced CT scans provide critical diagnostic clarity driving efficient clinical decision-making.
ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND
An abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of organs within the abdomen like liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and pancreas. This safe procedure helps evaluate causes of abdominal pain or swelling effectively.
- Symptoms/Causes: Indications include unexplained pain, jaundice, kidney stones suspicion, or monitoring chronic diseases like cirrhosis.
- Diagnosis: Ultrasound detects cysts, tumors, inflammation, fluid collections and assesses blood flow in abdominal vessels through Doppler studies if needed.
- Treatment/Management: Findings determine appropriate medical management ranging from medication adjustments to surgical referrals if necessary.
- What to Expect: A painless test performed by a technician applying gel on the abdomen while moving a handheld transducer across the skin; no special preparation required except fasting in some cases.
This modality offers a non-invasive way to examine abdominal organs comprehensively aiding timely treatment decisions.
MRI BRAIN SCAN
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain scan provides detailed images of brain structures using powerful magnets and radio waves. It aids in identifying neurological disorders without exposure to ionizing radiation.
- Symptoms/Causes: Patients may undergo MRI due to headaches, dizziness, seizures, stroke symptoms, or suspected tumors.
- Diagnosis: This scan detects abnormalities such as tumors, bleeding, inflammation, or structural anomalies with high precision.
- Treatment/Management: Results guide clinicians in planning surgical interventions, medications, or other therapies tailored to the condition found.
- What to Expect: The test generally lasts 30-60 minutes; patients lie still inside a tube while noises from the machine are heard; contrast agents may sometimes be used for clarity.
MRI brain scans are vital tools providing comprehensive insights into brain health essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is an advanced imaging technique designed for breast tissue examination. It plays a crucial role in the early detection of breast cancer and other breast diseases through low-dose X-rays.
- Symptoms/Causes: Screening is vital especially for women over 40 or those with family history; it detects lumps or unusual tissue growth before symptoms appear.
- Diagnosis: Mammograms highlight abnormal areas that may require further investigation like ultrasound or biopsy.
- Treatment/Management: Early detection allows for more effective treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
- What to Expect: The process involves compressing the breast gently for clear images and typically takes about 20 minutes with minimal discomfort.
Mammography significantly improves breast cancer prognosis by facilitating diagnosis at its most treatable stages.
CHEST X-RAY
A chest X-ray is a common imaging technique used to evaluate the lungs, heart, and chest wall. It is a quick and non-invasive procedure helpful in diagnosing various conditions related to the thoracic cavity.
- Symptoms/Causes: Common indications include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, or suspected infections like pneumonia.
- Diagnosis: The X-ray captures detailed images of the chest structures that help detect abnormalities such as infections, fractures, or tumors.
- Treatment/Management: Depending on findings, further tests or treatments may be recommended including medication for infections or monitoring lung conditions.
- What to Expect: The procedure is fast, usually completed in minutes with minimal radiation exposure and no special preparation needed.
This screening tool is invaluable for early detection of many respiratory and cardiac issues, supporting timely medical interventions.
