Diagnostic digital breast tomosynthesis is a 3D imaging test that allows doctors to examine your breast tissue layer by layer. It's performed on one or both sides. It helps in detecting abnormalities more accurately. It's often done in addition to other tests.

A CT scan of the chest with contrast is an imaging procedure. A special dye (contrast) is used to highlight specific areas in your body, providing clearer pictures of your chest. This helps in diagnosing conditions related to your lungs, heart, and other chest structures.

A chest X-ray, 1 view, is a quick, painless test that produces images of the structures within your chest, such as your heart, lungs, and blood vessels. It helps in diagnosing conditions like pneumonia, heart problems, or lung cancer. You'll stand in front of a machine that emits X-rays, which pass through your body to create the image.

Screening 3D breast mammography is a procedure that uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast. This allows for early detection of any unusual changes or growths. It's a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that typically takes about 30 minutes.

Screening mammography is a preventative measure that uses low-dose X-rays to take images of the chest area. It's a key tool in early detection of abnormalities, helping to identify issues before they become symptomatic. It is recommended annually for certain age groups.

Diagnostic mammography of 1 breast is a detailed imaging test that allows doctors to closely examine a specific area in the breast. It's often used when a routine screening reveals an abnormality. This test can help identify any unusual changes or issues.

An ultrasound scan of the head and neck soft tissue is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the soft tissues in these areas. It helps identify any abnormalities or issues, such as tumors, cysts, or infections. It's painless and doesn't involve radiation.

A limited ultrasound scan of the abdomen is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses sound waves to produce images of the abdominal organs such as the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. This helps to identify any abnormalities or issues.

Diagnostic mammography involves using special imaging technology to capture detailed images of both breasts. This procedure helps in identifying any unusual changes or abnormalities. It's a crucial step in ensuring breast health and early detection of potential issues.

A complete ultrasound scan behind the abdominal cavity is a non-invasive imaging procedure. It uses sound waves to create pictures of the structures and organs located at the back of your abdomen. It helps in diagnosing health conditions and monitoring ongoing treatments.

A chest X-ray, 2 views, is a quick, painless test that creates pictures of the structures inside your chest, such as your heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Two different angles are used to get a comprehensive view. This helps in diagnosing conditions like pneumonia, heart problems, or lung cancer.

An X-ray of the hand, minimum of 3 views, is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of the bones in your hand from different angles. This helps in diagnosing fractures, infections, arthritis, or other abnormalities. It's quick and painless.

An X-ray of the knee, 4 or more views, is a non-invasive imaging test. It involves capturing multiple images of your knee from different angles. This helps in diagnosing conditions such as fractures, arthritis, or infections. The procedure is quick and painless.

An X-ray of the foot, minimum of 3 views, is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of the bones and tissues in your foot. This helps to identify fractures, infections, or other abnormalities. Multiple views ensure a comprehensive examination.

An MRI scan of the abdomen before and after contrast provides detailed images of your abdominal organs. Initially, images are taken without a contrast agent. Then, a safe dye is administered, usually via an IV, to highlight certain areas, giving a clearer picture to help diagnose various conditions.

A limited ultrasound scan of one breast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of your breast. It helps identify any unusual growths or changes. It's safe, quick, and typically painless.

An X-ray of the hip with 2-3 views is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce pictures of the hip joint. These images help in diagnosing conditions like fractures, arthritis, or other abnormalities. The process is quick and painless.

A limited ultrasound scan behind the abdominal cavity is a non-invasive imaging method that helps visualize structures in the back of your abdomen. This procedure uses sound waves to create pictures of these areas, assisting in diagnosing certain conditions.

An X-ray of the shoulder, with a minimum of 2 views, is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of your shoulder bones. This helps in diagnosing conditions like fractures, arthritis, or other abnormalities. The procedure is quick and painless.

A CT scan of your abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast helps visualize your internal organs better. Contrast is a special dye that improves the clarity of the images. It's taken orally or injected into your veins before the scan. The process is painless and quick.

An X-ray of the wrist, minimum of 3 views, is a diagnostic procedure that uses radiation to create images of your wrist from different angles. This helps detect fractures, infections, or other abnormalities for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

An X-ray of the abdomen, 1 view, is a quick and painless imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of the structures in your abdomen, such as the stomach, liver, and intestines. This can help identify issues like blockages, infections, or injuries.

An ultrasound scan of the lower abdominal region is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of internal structures. This helps in checking the health of reproductive organs and detecting any abnormalities. The scan is done via a small probe inserted into the body.

An X-ray of the lower and sacral spine involves capturing images of your lower back and tailbone area. It helps in identifying issues like fractures, arthritis, or other abnormalities. At least four different angles or 'views' are taken to get a comprehensive picture.

Diagnostic digital breast tomosynthesis is a 3D imaging test that allows doctors to examine your breast tissue layer by layer. It's performed on one or both sides. It helps in detecting abnormalities more accurately. It's often done in addition to other tests.

A complete ultrasound scan of the pelvis is a safe, non-invasive imaging procedure. It uses sound waves to create pictures of your lower abdomen area, helping doctors to evaluate and diagnose any potential issues. It's painless and usually takes about 30 minutes.

An ankle X-ray is a quick, painless imaging test. It involves capturing at least three different images or 'views' of your ankle using small amounts of radiation. These images help identify any abnormalities or injuries, such as fractures or arthritis.

An X-ray of the pelvis, 1-2 views, is a quick and painless imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of the lower part of your torso. These images help to detect any abnormalities or injuries in your hip bones and surrounding structures.

An X-ray of the thigh bone is a non-invasive imaging test. It involves passing a small amount of radiation through the thigh to produce images of the bone structure. At least two different angles are captured for a comprehensive view. This helps detect fractures, infections, or other abnormalities.

A breast biopsy with locating device placement involves taking a small sample from an unusual growth, using ultrasound for precise targeting. This sample is studied for any abnormal cells. A locating device is also placed to mark the area for future reference.

An ultrasound scan of organ tissue measures elasticity, or flexibility. This non-invasive procedure uses sound waves to create images of the inside of your body. It helps in assessing the health of various organs by detecting changes in their stiffness or softness.

An X-ray of your middle and lower spine involves capturing images of these areas to identify any abnormalities. The procedure involves taking 2-3 different views for a comprehensive understanding.
