CT stands for Computed Tompgraphy, also known as CAT (Computerized axial tomography) is a diagnostic test that uses a combination of X-rays and advanced computer technology to create cross sectional anatomical images from different angles around the body. A computer puts these images together, and can make them into 2D and 3D images.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI also may show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods
Duplex ultrasound is a non invasive option for evaluation of arteries and vascularity of organs. A duplex ultrasound can show blood flows to the many parts of the body. It can also tell the caliber and reveal any blockages of major blood vessels. A duplex ultrasound can help to diagnose the Abdominal aneurysm, Arterial occlusion, Blood clot, Carotid occlusive disease, Renal Vascular disease, Varicose veins, Venous insufficiency and Torsion of testis.
Ultrasound is a safe, painless and radiation free examination technique using high frequency sound waves to produce still and live pictures of internal organs and systems. With all ultrasound exams, a handheld microphone like device a transducer is scanned over the part of the body being examined. As the sound waves make contact with blood, tissue and bone, portions of the waves ”echo” back to the transducer. The echoes are then analyzed by a computer to form continuous real-time images and videos.
A mammogram is an x-ray examination of the breasts, used to detect and diagnose breast diseases. Mammography is the most effective method of detecting cancer at an early stage, before the woman or a physician can feel it. Screening mammography is used as a preventive measure for women who have no symptoms of breast disease. A screening mammogram usually involves two views of each breast.
Interventional radiology (abbreviated IR or VIR for Vascular and Interventional Radiology, also referred to as Surgical Radiology) is a medical sub-specialty of radiology which utilizes minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. The concept behind interventional radiology is to diagnose and treat patients using the least invasive techniques currently available in order to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
Twenty-four hour Holter monitoring is a continuous test to record your heart's rate and rhythm for 24 hours. You wear the Holter monitor for 12 to 48 hours as you go about your normal daily routine. This device has electrodes and electrical leads exactly like a regular EKG, but it has fewer leads.
Echocardiography is a test that uses sound waves to produce live images of your heart. The image is called an echocardiogram. This test allows your doctor to monitor how your heart and its valves are functioning. The images can help them get information about: blood clots in the heart chambers.
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from your heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on your chest to record your heart's electrical signals, which cause your heart to beat. The signals are shown as waves on an attached computer monitor or printer.
An X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation similar to light, but with a much shorter wavelength. This allows X-rays to penetrate most objects, including the human body.
An OPG is a type of dental X-ray that captures a wide, panoramic view of your upper and lower jaws in a single image.
A DEXA scan, also known as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a non-invasive medical test that measures bone mineral density (BMD). It uses low-dose X-rays to assess the strength and density of your bones.
Sind Lab is a prominent medical laboratory in Karachi, Pakistan, known for its comprehensive range of diagnostic services.
