Patient FAQs
A whole-body scan is a nuclear medicine test that looks across much of the body for abnormal tracer uptake. In many patient settings, it refers to a whole-body bone scan used to assess bone activity throughout the skeleton.
A CT Orbit scan is a special type of CT examination focused on the eye sockets (orbits) and the structures around them. It uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed images of the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and soft tissues in and around your eyes.
A Diagnostic Mammogram is a more detailed breast X-ray used when there is a specific concern — a lump, nipple discharge, or an abnormal screening result. It takes extra views to look closely at the area in question.
A Hip MRI is a specialized scan focusing on the ball-and-socket joint connecting your leg to your pelvis. It is highly effective for investigating deep groin pain, catching sensations, and detecting restricted blood flow to the bone.
A bone scan is a nuclear medicine test that helps doctors look for changes in bone activity. It is often used for unexplained bone pain, infection, fractures, or to check whether cancer has spread to the bones.
A Screening Mammogram is a routine breast X-ray for women without symptoms, used to detect breast cancer early — often years before a lump can be felt. It is the single most effective test we have for catching breast cancer at its most treatable stage.
A Liver Biopsy safely collects a tiny sample of liver tissue using image guidance, allowing doctors to analyze liver damage at the cellular level and determine the exact cause of liver disease.
A CT Cardiac scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and advanced computer processing to create detailed pictures of the heart.
A carotid Doppler is an ultrasound of the neck arteries that supply the brain. It checks for narrowing or plaque that could increase the risk of stroke — and it is painless, quick, and radiation-free.
Cryoablation uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy tumors. A thin probe is guided into the mass to create a lethal ball of ice — visible in real time on the scanner — that spares healthy surrounding tissue.
