Overview
Pathology :-
Apart from the routine Hematology, Biochemistry, clinical pathology and pap-smear tests we do specialized Hormone Assays, Elisa Tests, Western Blot, VMA and Specialised Cardiac Markers like Lipoprotine a, Homocysteine, CK-MB and teoponin. We also perform specialized cancer markers like CA125, CEA, etc. Besides these, protein electrophoresis, hemoglobin electrophoresis and thalassaemia studies, therapeutic drugs and drugs of abuse are also carried out at we care india health service.
Digital X-Rays :-
The various procedures that we carry out at we care india health service are : -
- Barium studies (Barium swallow, Upper GI series, Small intestinal studies, IC studies, Barium Enemas)
- Intravenous urographic studies, cystograms, micturating cystourethrograms, retrograde urethrograms.
- Hysterosalpingography
- Sinograms/ Fistulograms
- Arthrograms
- Sialograms
- Dacryocystorhinograms
- Cavernosography
Equipment : -
At we care india health service Centre, X-rays are taken on a high-powered, 700m A Philips X-ray unit, which has an image intensification system. The procedures are thus carried out without the room being darkened.
Sonography :-
Sonography is a non invasive imaging modality using sound waves and is extremely safe even in pregnancy as it does not involve any radiation. Sonography has applications for the entire body from head to toe. Male or femal, from infant to adult, throughout your lifetime, sonography can play an important role in your healthcare. Indeed, versatile, safe, non-invasive and yet effective, the importance of ultrasonography in medicine cannot be underplayed.
4D Sonography :-
Real time live 3D (4D) Sonography provides a three-dimensional view of the fetus in motion and is one of the most important modern innovations in the field of Ultrasound.
The clear view of the fetus from all angles allows doctors to detect any congenital abnormalities at an early stage and chart a course for corrective measures at an early and preventable stage. The image quality is so clear and sharp that one can get a fairly accurate impression of how the baby's features will look upon birth.
At we care india all our sonography suites are equipped with high-end plasma screens to allow the expectant mother to view the baby growing inside her in the course of her pregnancy. One can view the baby yawning, sucking its thumb, kicking its feet, and moving its hands. We also provide all pregnancy sonography patients with a collection of video clips and images of the unborn child to create a lifelong memory for the mother and the child!
ECG/Stress Test
ECG : -
An electrocardiogram (ECG / EKG) is an electrical recording of the heart and is used in the investigation of heart disease. It is a graphic display of the electrical activity of the heart. An ECG may be done as part of a routine physical exam. It may be repeated any time there are questions about the working of your heart.
You will be brought to the ECG department in the centre. The technician will ask you to take off your clothing from the waist up, put on a gown, and lie down on a small bed. The technician will place a small electrode (a small self-sticking plastic patch) on each of your arms and legs and across six areas on your chest. You need to lie still for the minute or two that it takes the machine to make a record.
Stress Test : -
A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps physicians find out how well the heart handles stress. As the body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen and the heart has to pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.
A Person Taking The Test :-
- Is hooked up to equipment to monitor the heart.
- Walks slowly in place on a treadmill, on which the speed is increased for a faster pace and which is tilted to produce the effect of going up a small hill.
- May be asked to breathe into a tube for a couple of minutes.
- Can stop the test at any time if necessary.
- Afterwards will sit or lie down to have the heart and blood pressure checked.
Heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (E.C.G. or E.K.G.), and how tired one feels are monitored during the test. There's very little risk in taking the test in healthy persons - no more than if a person walks fast or jogs up a big hill.
2D Echo Colour Doppler
Two-dimensional echocardiography can provide excellent images of the heart, paracardiac structures, and the great vessels. During a standard echo, the sound waves are directed to the heart from a small hand-held device called a transducer, which sends and receives signals. Heart walls and valves reflect part of the sound waves back to the transducer to produce pictures of the heart. These images appear in black and white and in color on a TV screen. They're selectively recorded on videotape and special paper, and later reviewed and interpreted by a cardiologist (heart specialist).
From the pictures it is possible to measure the size of each part of your heart, to study motion and appearance of the valves and the function of the heart muscle. Your physician uses the measurements to determine how your heart is working and whether or not any abnormalities are present.
A 2D Doppler echo is often done at the same time in order to determine how the blood flows in your heart. The swishing sounds you hear during the test indicate blood flowing through the valves and chambers.
Highlights : -
- Carotid colour doppler
- Peripheral arterial & venous colour doppler
- Abdominal Colour Doppler
- Pregnancy Colour doppler
Patient Benefits : -
- Faster Examination
- High resolution images for detection of subtle abnormalities.
- Vascular information
Vascular Colour Doppler
Mammography
Mammography is important because in its earliest stages breast cancer may not be palpable; it may be too small to feel as a lump or tissue change. Mammography can help detect these changes two years or more before you would feel them. Physical examination is also important because premenopausal breast tissue is often dense and fibrous, which may decrease the reliability of mammography for young women.
If a lump is detected after the mammography is done, it may be essential to take a biopsy for the final diagnosis.Read More..
DEXA For Osteoporosis
DXA ( Digital X-ray Absorptiometry) Bone Densitometry is the gold standard for measuring bone mass and detecting Osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a bone disorder that can be described as a generalized weakening of the skeleton due to loss of bone and calcium. A skeleton that has been weakened by bone loss is more likely to fracture, and people with osteoporosis have a high incidence of fractures. If all those people with osteoporosis could be identified and treated, a large number of fractures could be prevented.Read More..
64 Slice Cardiac CT
We use an ultrafast 64 slice multislice CT ( the fastest available today) which uses X-ray technique that generates 194 slices per second. The rotation speed is 330 msec ( 3 rotations per second), which allows us to freeze the motion of the coronary arteries. We evaluate the status of the coronary arteries and functional assessment of the muscles of the heart.Read More..
High Field MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses non-ionizing radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. The strength of the magnet is very important, and high-field scanners (1.5 Tesla magnets) are generally regarded as the best magnet strength.
We have the Siemens MAGNETOM Avanto Tim [76 x 32] -Top of the line high field strength -1.5 Tesla MRI with the strongest gradient in the industry - SQ-engine. (45 mTm @ 200 T/m/s) with 50 cm FoV.- Faster than ever.
Avanto delivers the kind of high performance technology needed for the most demanding MRI exam . Gives for the first time ever, true whole-body imaging with no patient repositioning and no coil changes.Read More..
