A Urine Culture & Sensitivity test identifies specific bacteria or yeast responsible for a urinary tract infection (UTI) and tests which antibiotics are most effective in treating the infection. This test is crucial for guiding appropriate treatment and ensuring faster recovery.

Serology & Immunology

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test measures the level of CRP in the blood, which rises in response to inflammation or infection. This test is commonly used to assess the presence and intensity of inflammatory conditions, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and infections.

X-Ray

XR Lumbar Spine 2-3 views

The XR Lumbar Spine 2-3 views test is an X-ray imaging procedure that captures multiple angles of the lumbar spine, allowing for evaluation of structural abnormalities, fractures, or degenerative changes. This test is commonly performed to help diagnose back pain and assess overall spinal health.

Interventional Radiology

CT Myelogram Fluid with drain

A CT Myelogram Fluid with drain is a diagnostic imaging test that combines computed tomography (CT) and myelography to visualize the spinal cord and nerve roots after the injection of a contrast dye into the cerebrospinal fluid. This test helps identify conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other abnormalities affecting the spine and nerve tissue.

Hematology

Basophils

The Basophils test measures the absolute number or percentage of basophils in the blood, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in immune responses, especially in allergic reactions and inflammation. This test is useful for diagnosing allergies, certain infections, and other hematological conditions.

Interventional Radiology

Pelvis Drainage with Imaging Guidance

Pelvis Drainage with Imaging Guidance is a diagnostic procedure that involves the drainage of fluid collections in the pelvic area using imaging technologies, such as ultrasound or CT scans, to accurately guide the placement of drainage catheters. This test is performed to relieve symptoms caused by abscesses, fluid buildup, or other pelvic conditions, helping to prevent complications and aid in recovery.
