DIAGNOSTICS INSTRUMENTS
ENDOSCOPY
Many endoscopic procedures are considered to be relatively painless and, at worst, associated with moderate discomfort; for example, in esophagogastroduodenoscopy, most patients tolerate the procedure with only topical anesthesia of the oropharynx using lignocaine spray.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon.
DIGITAL X-RAY
Increased image quality and clarity.
Contrast studies including barium studies, intravenous urogram, and hysterosalpingogram are done.
4D USG
4th dimension of time is added to 3-dimensional still ultrasound images. Especially useful in Obstetrics – live-action images of the fetus can be visualized
COLOUR DOPPLER :
