Wear a two-piece outfit, avoid applying deodorant or powder, and inform the technologist about any implants or concerns.

The mammography test itself takes about 15 to 30 minutes.

Results are usually available within a few days. The radiologist reviews the images and sends the report to your healthcare provider.

Yes, mammography uses low-dose X-rays, which are considered safe. The benefits of early cancer detection far outweigh the minimal risks associated with the radiation exposure.

ICU Bedside Dialysis is a service provided in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for patients with kidney failure who require dialysis while remaining in the ICU for critical care.

Patients may need bedside dialysis if they have acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease that requires dialysis while they are critically ill or unstable.

Bedside dialysis is performed using specialized equipment and techniques to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood while the patient remains in the ICU.

Bedside dialysis allows for continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients without needing to transport them to a separate dialysis unit, which can be safer and more convenient.

Risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to the dialysis procedure. The ICU team closely monitors patients to manage and minimize these risks.

The lengthening process is gradual and typically takes several months, depending on the amount of lengthening required and individual healing.
