PET-CT Scan
It is Positron emission tomography which is an examination performed on the entire body using a radioactive substance with a CT scan in order to show a three-dimensional image of the active areas of the body.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
High-quality MRI technology produces clear, detailed anatomical images of almost every organ in the body at all angles and levels. X-ray is not used in this procedure, so it is painless for the patient, very safe, and has no known side effects.
Computed Tomography Scan (CT)
A CT scan is a medical imaging that uses computer-processed combinations of X-ray measurements scanned from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a person, allowing the doctor to view images of the organs and tissues inside the body.
X-ray
X-rays are the oldest, most requested and most widely used imaging examination. X-rays help doctors diagnose and treat many medical conditions, as part of the body is exposed to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce images of inside the body.
Mammography
Mammography is the process of using low-energy X-rays to examine women’s breasts for diagnostic purposes. The goal of mammograms is early detection of breast cancer, usually by detecting tiny masses or calcifications.
Ultrasound
The scan involves exposing the body to high-frequency sound waves, then capturing the waves bouncing off the tissue and converting them into a visual image.
Echocardiography
An ultrasound examination of the heart (echo) shows how well the heart is pumping and whether the heart valves are working properly, but this examination does not show whether the patient has angina.
Electromyography (EMG)
The service uses electromagnetic diagnostic medicine technology to evaluate and record electrical activity resulting from skeletal muscles. The service is implemented using an electromyography device to produce an electromyogram.
Gamma Camera
It is a camera that can detect flashes of light produced when gamma rays, resulting from radioactive decay of single photon emitting radioisotopes, interact with a sodium iodide crystal at the front of the camera.
Bone Density Scan (DEXA)
It is a non-surgical, quick, and painless procedure that uses low dose X-rays to measure the density of the bones. It is usually performed to assess the risk of osteoporosis or fractures.
2D Dental Imaging (Panorama)
It is a two dimensional X-ray examination that captures the entire mouth in one image including the teeth, the upper and lower jaws and the surrounding tissues.
