• Lipid Profile: Assesses cholesterol levels to evaluate cardiovascular health.
• Hormone Testing: Diagnoses endocrine disorders by measuring hormone levels.
• Microbiology Cultures: Identifies infectious organisms and determines appropriate antibiotic treatment.
• Blood Glucose Tests: Monitors blood sugar levels to diagnose and manage diabetes.

Imaging Services

Our imaging department is equipped with advanced technology to provide clear and detailed images of the body’s internal structures. These services are crucial for diagnosing a wide range of conditions and guiding treatment plans.

Common Imaging Modalities:

• X-rays: Used to diagnose fractures, infections, and other bone-related conditions.
• Ultrasound (Sonography): Non-invasive imaging used to visualize organs, tissues, and blood flow. Commonly used in obstetrics, gynecology, cardiology, and abdominal imaging.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scans: Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the body to diagnose conditions such as tumors, internal bleeding, and bone fractures.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, brain, spinal cord, and joints.
• Mammography: Specialized X-ray for breast examination to detect and diagnose breast cancer.
• Bone Density Scans (DEXA): Measures bone mineral density to diagnose osteoporosis.

Cardiac Diagnostic Services

Our cardiac diagnostic services offer comprehensive testing to evaluate heart health and diagnose cardiovascular conditions.

Common Cardiac Diagnostics:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Measures electrical activity of the heart to detect arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac issues.
• Echocardiography: Uses ultrasound to visualize the heart’s structure and assess its function.
• Stress Tests: Evaluates how the heart performs under physical stress to detect coronary artery disease.
• Holter Monitoring: Continuous recording of heart rhythm over 24-48 hours to detect irregularities.
• Cardiac CT Angiography: Non-invasive imaging to visualize coronary arteries and detect blockages.
