CT Thoraco-Lumbar without IV Contrast with 3D Imag

A CT Thoraco-Lumbar without IV contrast with 3D imaging is a diagnostic test that captures detailed cross-sectional images of the thoracic and lumbar spine, helping to identify structural abnormalities, fractures, or diseases affecting these areas. It is often performed to evaluate back pain, trauma, or advanced degenerative conditions without the use of contrast agents.

Pathology & Cytology

Pleural Fluid Cytology

Microscopic cytological analysis of pleural fluid to identify malignant cells or check for chronic inflammatory conditions.

CT Scan

CT Sella Turcica without IV Contrast

A CT scan of the sella turcica is a specialized imaging test used to visualize the pituitary gland and surrounding structures within the skull. This test is performed without the use of IV contrast to assess for abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, or structural deformities that may affect pituitary function and overall health.

CT Scan

CT Cervical Spine without IV Contrast 3D Images

The CT Cervical Spine without IV Contrast 3D Images is a diagnostic imaging test that uses computed tomography to create detailed cross-sectional images of the cervical spine (neck region) without the use of intravenous contrast dye. This test is often performed to evaluate conditions such as fractures, tumors, or degenerative diseases affecting the cervical spine, helping physicians to diagnose issues accurately and plan appropriate treatment.

CT Scan

CT Abdomen High Resolution (Triple Phase)

The CT Abdomen High Resolution (Triple Phase) is a diagnostic imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the abdominal organs using advanced computed tomography technology. This test measures the structures of the abdomen in three distinct phases, allowing for a comprehensive assessment to identify abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, or vascular issues.
