An MRI scan of the lower spinal canal without contrast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of your lower spine. This helps identify issues like disc problems, tumors, or nerve conditions. No dye is used.

This procedure involves a doctor administering a medication to reduce your consciousness during a procedure. This helps in managing discomfort and anxiety. The initial application lasts for 15 minutes and is for individuals aged 5 years or older.

An X-ray of the upper spine, with 2-3 views, is a painless procedure that employs a small amount of radiation to capture images of your neck and upper back. It assists in diagnosing conditions like arthritis, fractures, or spinal deformities.

An X-ray of the lower and sacral spine involves capturing images of your lower back area, including the tailbone. This procedure helps in identifying problems like fractures, infections, or deformities. 2-3 different angle views provide a comprehensive picture.

An MRI scan of the brain without contrast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of your brain. It helps in detecting abnormalities like tumors, stroke, inflammation, or infection.

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.

An MRI scan of the lower spinal canal with contrast is a non-invasive imaging procedure. It uses magnetic fields to generate detailed images of your lower spine. A contrast agent is injected to enhance these images, helping doctors see issues more clearly.

A CT scan of the lower spine without contrast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses X-rays to create detailed images of your lower back area, helping to detect conditions like fractures, infections, or tumors. It's painless and generally quick.

Fluoroscopic guidance for central vein access device insertion or removal is a procedure where a special X-ray, called a fluoroscope, is used to help accurately place or remove a device in a central vein. This device aids in delivering medications or collecting blood samples.

Ultrasonic guidance for blood vessel access is a medical procedure where sound waves are used to create images of your blood vessels. This helps doctors to accurately locate and access the vessels for treatments or tests, ensuring safety and precision.

An MRI scan of the upper spinal canal without contrast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of your upper spine. This helps doctors identify issues such as injuries, infections or diseases. No dye is used.

A CT scan of the neck with contrast is a non-invasive imaging procedure. A special dye is administered to highlight the soft tissues in your neck, making them easier to see. This helps detect issues like infections, tumors, or other abnormalities.

A CT scan of the face without contrast is a non-invasive imaging procedure. It uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of your face, including bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. It's often used to diagnose diseases, injuries, or abnormalities. No contrast dye is used in this procedure.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy with ultrasound guidance is a procedure where a thin needle is inserted into a growth to extract a small sample. Ultrasound helps accurately locate the growth. This sample is then analyzed to determine the nature of the growth.

The insertion of a tunneled central venous tube is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube is placed into a large vein, usually in the neck or chest. This tube allows healthcare providers to give medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into your bloodstream over a longer period.

An MRI scan of the middle spinal canal without contrast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of your spine. This helps doctors identify any abnormalities or issues in your spinal canal. No dye is used in this procedure.

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 X-ray of the upper spine with 4-5 views is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses radiation to capture detailed images of the bones and structures in your neck and upper back. This procedure helps identify issues like fractures, infections, or deformities.

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.

An X-ray of the middle spine, or thoracic spine, involves capturing two different images of the area. This non-invasive procedure uses small amounts of radiation to visualize the bones and tissues in your back, helping to identify any abnormalities or injuries.

A CT scan of the middle spine without contrast is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of your mid-spine area. This scan helps doctors identify issues like fractures, tumors, or infections. No dye is used in this procedure.
