DIGITAL X-RAY
The advantages of capturing and storing X-Ray Images digitally rather than on film are overwhelming. Digital x-ray images:
1. The images can be stored in a very compact manner without risk of loss or deterioration in quality.
2. The images can be easily enlarged and "suspicious" areas of an image can be more easily studied.
3. The images can be easily retrieved, and can be transmitted electronically to an expert or to another medical practitioner in the same hospital or to an insurance company for reimbursement purposes.
DEXA
Every day, physicians use radiography, or X-Rays, to view and evaluate bone fractures and other injuries of the musculoskeletal system. However, a plain X-Ray test is not the best way to assess bone density. To detect osteoporosis accurately, doctors use an enhanced form of X-Ray technology called dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA). DEXA bone densitometry is today's established standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). DEXA is a quick, painless procedure for measuring bone loss. Measurement of the lower spine and hips are most often done. More portable devices that measure the wrist, fingers or heel are sometimes used for screening, including some that use ultrasound waves rather than x-ray.
DEXA bone densitometry is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that often affects women after menopause but may also be found in men. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile and more likely to break. The DEXA test can
MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose X-Ray system for the examination of breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used as a screening tool to detect early breast cancer in women experiencing no symptoms and to detect and diagnose breast disease in women experiencing symptoms such as a lump, pain or nipple discharge. Mammography plays a central part in early detect ion of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them.
also assess your risk for developing fractures. If your bone density is found to be low, you and your physician can work together on a treatment plan to help prevent fractures before they occur. DEXA is also effective in tracking the effects of treatment for osteoporosis or for other conditions that cause bone loss. Bone density testing is strongly recommended if you:
Are you a post-menopausal woman and not taking estrogen.
Have a personal or maternal history of hip fracture or smoking.
Are a post-menopausal woman who is tall (over 5 feet 7 inches) or thin (less than 125 pounds).
Are a man with clinical conditions associated with bone loss.
Use medications that are known to cause bone loss, including corticosteroids such as Prednisone, various anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin and certain barbiturates, or high-dose thyroid replacement drugs.
Have type 1 (formerly called juvenile or insulin-dependent) diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease or a family history of osteoporosis.
Have high bone turnover, which shows up in the form of excessive collagen in urine samples.
Have a thyroid condition, such as hyperthyroidism.
Have experienced a fracture after only mild trauma.
Have had x-ray evidence of vertebral fracture or other signs of osteoporosis.
Once a lump is discovered, mammography can be key in evaluating the lump to determine if it is cancerous. If a breast abnormality is found or confirmed with mammography, additional breast imaging tests such as ultrasound (sonography) or a breast biopsy may be performed. A biopsy involves taking a sample(s) of breast tissue and examining it under a microscope to determine whether it contains cancer cells. Many times, mammography or ultrasound is used to help the radiologist or surgeon guide the needle to the correct area in the breast during biopsy.
BARIUM SWALLOW
Also called an "upper gastrointestinal (GI) series" or simply an "upper GI," upper gastrointestinal tract radiography is an x-ray examination of the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine (also known as the duodenum).
An upper GI procedure is done to observe digestive function or to detect abnormalities such as ulcers, tumors or inflammation of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Patients who undergo this procedure are usually those who have difficulty swallowing, are complaining of chest and abdominal pain or reflux (a backward flow of partially digested food and digestive juices), or have unexplained vomiting, severe indigestion or blood in the stool (indicating internal GI bleeding).
BARIUM ENEMA
This is an x-ray evaluation of the large intestine, also known as the colon. This includes the right or ascending colon, the transverse colon, the left or descending colon and the rectum. The appendix may be seen if it is present and a portion of the
small intestine may be visualized as well. Passing small, highly controlled amounts of radiation through the body and capturing the resulting shadows and reflections on film create radiological images.
INTRAVENOUS PYELOGRAM (IVP)
An Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) is an x-ray examination of the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. Most people are familiar with x-ray images, which produce a still picture of the body's interior by passing small, highly controlled amounts of radiation through the body and capturing the resulting shadows and reflections on film. An IVP study uses a contrast material (iodine) to enhance the x-ray images. The contrast material is injected into the patient's system and its progress through the urinary tract is then recorded on a series of quickly captured images. The exam enables the radiologist to review the anatomy and the function of the kidneys and urinary tract.
ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPHY (OPG)
This is a special method for obtaining radiographs of the teeth- bearing jaws, both upper and lower. A specially constructed machine rotates around the jawbones, thus giving us an extremely good idea about the structure of the jawbones and is useful in a wide-variety of conditions including infections, tumors, congenital abnormalities, pre-implant evaluation and trauma. Cephalogram is an x-ray of the face, obtained so that accurate measurements of the face can be performed.
ULTRASOUND & COLOR DOPPLER
On sophisticated machines from Wipro GE.
In the clinic is installed P5 ,carrying with it a facility of five probes (CONVEX, LINEAR, INTRACAVITARY/TRANSVAGINAL,CARDIAC & 4D).
These have along with them special probes( for the heart, thyroid, breast and scrotum etc.), specific for different parts of the body.
These perform high-resolution scans of the entire body.
Detailed studies of the gravid uterus, and the fetus in utero are also carried out.
Color flow studies of all the arteries and veins in the body, including the carotid and vertebral. Also color flow studies of the pregnant uterus, and assessment of the color flow to the fetus in utero.
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
For studying the functioning and anatomy of the beating heart.
A special frequency, 3.5 MHz , ultrasound of the heart. It helps study the walls of the heart, the four chambers, the outflow tracts and the valves connecting each of these.
It is also capable of generating an ECG, if so required, under special circumstances.
TREAD MILL TEST
A sophisticated test for detailed evaluation of the functioning of cardiac muscle and its response to exercise tolerance. The client is made to exert by running on a treadmill, and we watch for changes to occur in the cardiac cycle.
Used for special diagnosis, in cases with borderline or doubtful ischemic heart problems.
Test is to be carried out under guidance of a cardiologist only.
STRESS ECHO
To evaluate the condition of the heart, in times of utmost stress. A combination of TMT & ECHO, or may be done using a chemical dobutamine.
