1. Imaging and Interventional Radiology
Imaging and Interventional Radiology involves diagnostic imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technology to diagnose and treat various conditions.
Procedures include biopsies, catheter placements, embolizations, and other techniques to treat conditions such as tumors, blockages, and internal bleeding.
These procedures use imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasound to guide the placement of instruments and perform interventions with precision.
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience some soreness or mild pain afterward.
Preparation varies by procedure. It may include fasting, avoiding certain medications, or specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
2. MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is used to detect and diagnose breast cancer and other breast conditions by creating detailed images of the breast tissue.
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.
3. SPUTUM GENEXPERT
The Sputum GeneXpert test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects tuberculosis (TB) DNA and drug-resistant strains in sputum samples.
Unlike traditional TB tests, the GeneXpert test provides faster results and can detect drug-resistant strains of TB by analyzing genetic material.
No special preparation is required. Provide a sputum sample, ideally collected in the morning, and follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
Results are usually available within 1 to 2 days after the sample is processed, providing a rapid diagnosis.
The test offers accurate and quick detection of TB and drug-resistant strains, which is crucial for effective treatment and control of TB infections.
