Information related to procedures performed for certain diseases and illness.
Computed Tomography (CT)
With computed tomography scan (also called CT or CAT scan), the x-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows for many different views of the same organ or structure, and provides much greater detail.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a large magnet, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Mammography
A mammogram is an X-ray of the breasts (mammary glands) used to screen for breast problems, such as lumps or small tumors that can be seen before they can be felt.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure.
Stenting
Coronary Angioplasty, also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a procedure used to treat the slow buildup of fatty plaques in your heart's blood vessels.
Transesophageal Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound test which bounces high-pitched sound waves off the various areas of your heart.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound procedure is a non-invasive (the skin is not pierced) diagnostic procedure used to assess soft tissue structures such as muscles, blood vessels, and organs.
PET Scan
The technology produces detailed computerized images that combine the functional imaging of a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan with the anatomical detail of a CT (Computed Tomography) scan. This innovative technology can provide early detection of cancer, cardiovascular concerns and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Stroke.
