State-of-the-art-Technology 64 Slice CT Scan

A high tech ultrafast CT machine which can scan so fast that it essentially freezes the heart’s motion, and therefore can look at small moving coronary arteries which are the most difficult structures in the body to images.

What makes 64 slice CT unique?

• TOTALLY SAFE: 64 slice CT is a completely safe noninvasive and painless imaging technique for early detection of coronary artery disease and other vascular diseases

• HIGHEST QUALITY IMAGES: It generates the highest resolution CT scan images of the heart as well as of all other body parts - namely brain, spine, chest and abdomen.

• ULTRA HIGH SPEED: It contains cutting-edge technology that allows a whole body scan to be completed in literally a few seconds. This results in a shorter breath holding time (5 to 10 seconds)
   

Digital Mammography
 

What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is a safe low dose x-ray of the breast, performed to detect early breast cancers, at a stage when they are still curable.

Who should receive mammography? And how often?

The American Cancer Society recommends that every woman should undergo mammography every year after the age of 40.

How accurate is screening mammography?

Mammography can detect approximately 85% of breast cancers.

What is unique about the type of mammography available at RXDX?

It is a new technique called DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY

Advantages of Digital Mammography

• Painless – it requires less breast compression than regular mammography

• It has a lower radiation dose than regular mammography

• It is more accurate than regular mammography
  
   

Digital X-Ray

Digital x-ray is a form of Xray in which the images are acquired digitally. This means higher quality images, lower radiation dose and faster results.

In some cases, such as IVP, a contrast injection may be needed to highlight the kidneys.
 

Ultrasonography (Sonogram)

Ultrasound scanning is an imaging procedure used to examine internal organs in which high-frequency sound waves are passed into the body, reflected back, and used to build an image. It is also called sonography. No radiation is used.
