Diagnostic
Radiology - Digital
All
types of Digital X-rays are taken at Accura Diagnostic Centre.
The
various special procedures that we carry out are
- Barium studies (Barium swallow, Upper GI series, Small intestinal
studies, IC studies, Barium Enemas)
- Intravenous urographic studies, cystograms, micturating
cystourethrograms, retrograde urethrograms.
- Hysterosalpingography
- Sinograms/ Fistulograms
Equipment:
X-rays
are taken on a high-powered, 300ma X-ray unit, with a fully motorized
table and dark fluoroscopy.
Sonography
Sonography
is a non invasive imaging modality using sound waves and is extremely
safe even in pregnancy as it does not involve any radiation.
Sonography
has applications for the entire body from head to toe. Male or female,
from infant to adult, throughout your lifetime, sonography can play an
important role in your healthcare.
Indeed,
versatile, safe, non-invasive and yet effective, the importance of
ultrasonography in medicine cannot be underplayed.
Equipment:
SIEMENS
ACUSON Juniper digital channel 4D Machine
Built on a digital platform, the ACUSON Juniper utilizes advanced signal
processing technology to ensure optimal image quality for
high-resolution 2D, volumetric 3D & 4D. Image quality is further enhanced
with Harmonic imaging, spectral, color and doppler imaging as well as
OSIO (One touch tissue optimization techniques.)

Doppler
Color
Doppler is an important complement to the two-dimensional image. It
provides a visual multicolor display of the blood flow within the heart and vessels.
Doppler
ultrasound is based upon the Doppler Effect. When the object reflecting
the ultrasound waves is moving, it changes the frequency of the echoes,
creating a higher frequency if it is moving toward the probe and a lower
frequency if it is moving away from the probe. How much the frequency is
changed depends upon how fast the object is moving. Doppler ultrasound
measures the change in frequency of the echoes to calculate how fast an
object is moving. Doppler ultrasound has been used mostly to measure the
rate of blood flow through the heart and major arteries.
Color Doppler complements 2-D echocardiography and conventional Doppler
techniques by providing color flow maps that improve the spatial
characterization of flow disturbances.

2D
& Color Echocardiography
Two-dimensional
echocardiography can provide excellent images of the heart, paracardiac
structures, and the great vessels. During a standard echo, the sound
waves are directed to the heart from a small hand-held device called a
transducer, which sends and receives
signals. Heart walls and valves reflect part of the sound waves back to
the transducer to produce pictures of the heart. These images appear in
black and white and in color on a TV screen. They're selectively
recorded on videotape and special paper, and later reviewed and
interpreted by a cardiologist.
From
the pictures it is possible to measure the size of each part of your
heart, to study motion and appearance of the valves and the function of
the heart muscle. Your physician uses the measurements to determine how
your heart is working and whether or not any abnormalities are present.
A
Doppler echo is often done at the same time in order to determine how
the blood flows in your heart. The swishing sounds you hear during the
test indicate blood flowing through the valves and chambers.
Pathology
We
have a well organized pathology collection centre for routine Hematology, Biochemistry,
Clinical pathology, Microbiology, Serology, Profiles & Special Tests
like Elisa Tests, Western
Blot, Glycosylated hemoglobin and Specialised Cardiac Markers.We
are affliated to Metropolis & SRL Phadke Pathology Labs.
ECG
An
electrocardiogram (ECG / EKG) is an electrical recording of the heart
and is used in the investigation of heart disease.
It is
a graphic display of the electrical activity of the heart.
An ECG
may be done as part of a routine physical exam. It may be repeated any
time there are questions about the working of your heart.
The technician will
ask you to take off your clothing from the waist up, put on a gown, and
lie down on a small bed. The technician will place a small electrode (a
small self-sticking plastic patch) on each of your arms and legs and
across six areas on your chest. You need to lie still for the minute or
two that it takes the machine to make a record.
