Diagnostic Imaging? Diagnostic imaging describes a variety of non-invasive methods of looking inside the body to help determine the causes of an injury or an illness, and to confirm a diagnosis. It is also used to see how well your body is responding to a treatment for an illness or a fracture

medical professionals, organizations, and ancillary health care workers who provide medical care to those in need. Health services serve patients, families, communities, and populations. . These services are centered around making health care accessible, high quality, and patient-centered

The computer tomography scan, popularly known as ct scan or cat scan is a process that allows the doctor to see inside your body. It makes use of several x-rays and a computer, that gives out a clear picture of internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels. They are whole body scanners with fast scanning speed, low dose, and excellent image quality providing all the ct applications. The 3d dynamic capability helps in the coverage of large body organs. It does all many tests like.Whole body ct scan.Abdomen & pelvis.Brain, orbit, pns.Chest.Neck.Spine with 3d ct.Joints with 3d ct.Ct urogram.Dental ct.Ct guided biopsy.Ct guided surgery.

Bone mineral density (bmd), also known as bone density test detects whether you have osteoporosis (porous bone). This condition takes place when your bone tissues become weak, thin or when they are more likely to break. Without getting a bmd test or without breaking a bone, you wouldn't recognize you are having osteoporosis, also it dose. Whole body bone/ bone mineral density test.Lva (lateral vertebral assessment).Body compositions- shows the most accurate body fat mass, lean mass in whole body.Bone quality analysis.Post fracture analysis with table dxa for animal companion required for veterinary clinic, medical studyb-scope - the specific part of body mass analysis required for orthopedics, nuclear medicine, geriatrics, rehabilitation, neurology, plastic surgery.

Sonography or ultrasound imaging is used to evaluate many parts of the body. It utilizes high frequency sound waves these are not x-rays to obtain diagnostic images. 3d (4d) sonography provides a three-dimensional view in motion and is one of the most important modern innovations in the field of ultrasound. why do you need to perform an ultrasonography?early pregnancy, including entopic pregnancy.Development of fetuses and possible malformations of fetuses.Position of the fetus, position of the placenta in the uterus and changes in it. It is also possible to estimate the quantity of amniotic fluid, evaluate heart function and breathing movements of the fetus.Check the condition of your abdominal organs such as liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys and gallbladder.Identify the reasons for abdominal pain and to find problems and detect damage, disease or a tumor in an organ.Vascular blood vessels throughout the body

WHAT IS A 2D ECHO TEST ?A 2D echo test, also known as echocardiogram gives live images of heart functioning using sound waves. There are total five types of echocardiograms:Transthoracic echocardiographyTransesophageal echocardiography.Stress echocardiogram.Three-dimensional echocardiographyFetal echocardiography WHY IS A 2D ECHO TEST PERFORMED ?2D echo test helps your doctor to monitor how your heart and its valves are functioning. It is also used to check your heart's ability to pump in case of heart problems, such as chest pain or shortness of breath. The images that are generated with the test helps your doctor in identifying:Blood clots within your heartif there is any fluid in the sac around the heartproblems with the main artery (aorta) connected to the heartAfter a heart attack, the doctor uses the 2D echo test to determine the health of the heart muscles.

WHAT IS ARFI?There are many different types of ultrasounds elastography. One of them is ARFI (Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging). It creates a qualitative 2-D map of tissue stiffness using an ultrasound. The process is done by creating a push inside the tissue using the acoustic radiation force from a focused ultrasound beam. The stiffness (hardness or softness)of the tissue is defined by the amount the tissue along the axis of the beam is pushed down. Softer tissue is more easily pushed than stiffer tissue.The ARFI elastography displays a qualitative stiffness value along the axis of the pushing beam. A tissue map is created by pushing the tissue in many different places.WHAT IS ELASTOGRAPHY?Elastography is one of the clinical techniques that maps the elastic properties and stiffness of soft tissue. It is a medical image modality that gives diagnostic information about the stiffness of the organ's tissue. Elastography is especially used to diagnose the diseases in the liver. The stiffness within the liver is usually indicative of fibrosis or steatosis, which indicates about the diseases within it. Elastography comes as an advantage in this condition because when fibrosis is diffuse, a biopsy can easily miss sampling the diseased tissue, which results in a false negative misdiagnosis.

Mammography is a medical procedure or a screening tool wherein an x-ray is taken to detect and diagnose for breast cancer. Mammography is done to detect the early signs of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses or microcalcifications . WHO & WHY SHOULD GET MAMMOGRAPHY DONE?Women over 50 years of age should do mammography tests annuallyWomen in the age group between 40-50 years should get a mammography test every 1-2 years states The National Cancer Institute.Most women below 40 years of age do not need of annual mammogram. However, one should get a mammogram test at the age of 35 years.If you are any age group & have lumps or any other symptoms of breast cancer and also if you have breast implants.Your doctor will ask you to perform mammography in order to see any improvement or changes in cancer.

WHAT IS AN OPG ?An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a type of dental x-ray that produces a panoramic view of the upper and lower jaw, including the teeth. It shows a three-dimensional view from one side of the ear to another side of the ear. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO UNDERGO AN OPG ?OPG is performed while you go for a general dental checkup and it can also be used to detect and evaluate the problems such as:Orthodontic assessmentCavities within the teeth.Impacted wisdom teeth.To find the source of dental pain.FracturesPeriodontal bone loss.Dislocation of the jaw.Assessment to be carried out for the placement of dental implants.InfectionTumors.Sinuses.It can also be used for planning dental surgery.

WHAT IS AN BONE ANALYSIS ?Bone quality is defined as the sum of the structural and material properties of the trabecular bone. The structural properties of bone refer to the trabecular microstructure. Trabecular or cancellous bone is made up of many interconnected trabeculae which may be composed of narrow rods like trabeculae or the flatter plate-like trabeculae. The more of the thicker plate-like trabeculae present in the structure as compared to the thinner, rod-like trabeculae, the better the quality and strength of the bone. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), has been used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and thereby Bone Strength. WHAT IS B-SCOPE?The specific part of body mass analysis required for Orthopedics, Nuclear medicine, Geriatrics, Rehabilitation, Neurology, Plastic surgery.The term Body Composition is used to illustrate the different components that, when taken together, make up a person`s body weight. For analysis of body composition, it is often suitable to think of the body as made of two components: fat and non-fat. The non-fat portion is called "fat-free mass" or "lean body mass".

WHAT IS AN FRAX ?In simple words, Frax is a fracture risk calculator that was developed by the Wolrd Health Organization in 2008. It is a patients 10-year probability of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture. Before this, the doctors could only estimate the fracture risk of 5 years FIMThis tool helps to check the patient's disability level and also helps to detect the change in patient status in response to rehabilitation or medical intervention. All the technicians use FIM to assess and grade the functional status of people based on the level of assistance they require. Tasks evaluated using FIM are bowel and bladder control, transfers, locomotion, communication, social cognition and six other self-care activities. GDPMany of them start calculating the GDP or the prediction of children's height since the birth of their child. But, how can you scientifically check the bone growth and height of your child? The most accurate method for GDP or prediction of children's height is by using the child's 'bone age', which is determined by an X-ray. In addition to this, there are home methods such as 'Two years times two', 'Genetic potential height predictor' and 'Follow the curve'. While these methods are not 100% accurate but a fun method to predict your child's height.

Nerve conduction velocity or ncv is a medical test that assesses nerve damage and dysfunction. It's a procedure that measures how quickly electrical signals move through your peripheral nerves . why is an ncv performed ?it helps the doctor to differentiate between an injury to the nerve fibre and an injury to the myelin sheath, the protective covering surrounding the nerve.It will also help your doctor to identify the difference between a nerve disorder and a condition where a nerve injury has affected the muscles.In cases where a person is suffering from muscular and neuromuscular disorders such as guillain-barre syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, charcot-marie-tooth (cmt) disease, herniated disk disease, chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy and neuropathy, sciatic nerve problems and peripheral nerve injury.The ncv test is also useful in case of a pinched nerve.

Sleep Apnea is a serious sleeping disorder, happens when the persons breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. Apnea means breathing pause for at least ten seconds. Reason for this disorder is when the throat is unable to keep the airway open. The main types of Sleep Apnea are Obstructive, central and complex sleep apneaCentral apnea occurs when the brain doesnt send the proper signal to the muscles that control breathingObstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles that support the soft palate relax.Complex sleep apnea occurs when both the central and obstructive apnea happens in the case. Factors involved:There are a numbers of factors that increase the risk of this disorder i.e. being overweight, large neck size, smoking and use of alcohol. Sometimes it can be genetic also. Muscular change, physical obstruction are the other factors involve in this disorder.

WHAT IS AUDIOMETRY?The sound we hear daily vary based on their loudness that is the intensity and the speed of the vibrations of the sound waves that is the tone. You can measure this using a test called 'Audiometry'. The intensity of the sound is measured in decibels (dB) while the tone of the sound is measured in cycles per second (cps) or Hertz HOW IS AUDIOMETRY PERFORMED?Audiometry is the simplest test and can be performed in a regular office of your doctor. They might ask you some questions and also ask you to listen to the sounds of whispered voices, tuning forks, or tones from an ear examination scope.There is a special audiometry test which includes tunning fork which helps in determining the type of hearing loss. In addition to this, there are several other tests such as: Pure tone testingSpeech audiometryImmittance audiometry

Digital x-ray is a type of x-ray ranging, where instead of traditional photographic film, digital x-ray sensors are used. It is used to diagnose, monitor, and treat many medical conditions. The digital x-ray helps you with . Immediate preview of the image and its availabilityIt eliminates the cost of film processing.It has a wider dynamic range, which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure.It has the ability to use special image processing techniques that enhances the overall image quality. All types of X-rays are taken at Volta using state-of-the-art digitizer with printing of images on highest quality films.WHY DO YOU NEED TO PERFORM A DIGITAL X-RAY ?Detect and examine the area, where patient experiences discomfort or painCheck how well a treatment is working for your problems.Closely monitor the progress and improvement of a diagnosed disease.In case of conditions such as bone cancer, breast tumors, enlarged heart, blocked blood vessels, conditions affecting your lungs, digestive problems, fractures, infections, osteoporosis, arthritis, tooth decay and needing to retrieve swallowed items.

Diagnostic ultrasound, also called sonography or diagnostic medical sonography, is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. The images can provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions

ultrasound machine makes images so that organs inside the body can be examined. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives the waves and uses them to create a picture. Unlike with an x-ray or CT scan, this test does not use ionizing radiation

WHAT IS A COLOR DOPPLER ?Color Doppler, also known as Doppler Ultrasound is a noninvasive test that helps the doctor determine the blood flow within your body just with the colors. WHY IS A COLOR DOPPLER PERFORMED?There are many situations where your doctor will ask you to undergo a Color Doppler test. To note down a few: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition wherein blood clot forms in the veins of your leg or hip area.Superficial thrombophlebitis, an inflammation that is caused in the veins due to a blood clot just below the skin's surface.Arteriosclerosis, a situation where the arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet become narrow and hard.
