Radiology

ECG

An ECG test, or electrocardiogram test, is a non-invasive and painless procedure that helps detect heart issues and monitor overall heart health by capturing the electrical activity of the heart with each heartbeat.

This ECG scan identifies abnormal electrical activity that may indicate heart conditions. Complementing this, the echocardiogram test provides a visual representation of the heart's structure and function using ultrasound technology.

An ECG assessment at Dr Lal PathLabs’ Radiology Center provides comprehensive heart monitoring through non-invasive procedures with the latest technology for optimal patient care.

Echo – 2D

An echocardiogram (ECHO) is a specialized diagnostic scan, commonly referred to as an echo test or heart echo test, designed to assess the heart and surrounding blood vessels.

The 2D echo test uses sound waves to create real-time images, providing valuable insights into the heart's structure and function. By reflecting these sound waves off various cardiac structures, the echo scan delivers critical information for diagnosing a wide range of cardiac conditions, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions about heart health.

Our Echo-2D equipments are equipped with advanced imaging technology, complete Doppler functionality, stress testing capabilities, seamlessly integrating into optimal patient care.

Treadmill Test

A treadmill test (TMT), also known as a treadmill stress test or exercise stress test, is an essential diagnostic tool used to evaluate cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and overall heart health.

During this test, the patient walks or runs on a treadmill while their heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs are closely monitored. The treadmill stress test provides insights into how the heart responds to physical stress, helping to diagnose various cardiac conditions effectively.

Our treadmill test machines feature a robust engineering design that provides accurate and precise cardiac measurements, ensuring reliable assessments for optimal heart health evaluation.

Stress Echo

A stress test for the heart, or cardiac stress test, is a diagnostic procedure that assesses heart function under physical exertion.

During this stress test procedure, the patient runs on a treadmill while blood pressure and heart rhythms are closely monitored. The ECG stress test records the heart's electrical activity as exercise intensity increases, offering valuable insights into its performance. Once the heart rate peaks, ultrasound images are taken to evaluate whether the heart muscles receive adequate blood and oxygen during the treadmill stress test.

Our Stress Echo equipment utilizes advanced cardiac ultrasound technology to enhance volume size, resolution, and volume rate, offering a complete view of the ventricles under stress—capabilities beyond conventional machines—and producing high-quality images for effective screening and diagnosis of heart disease.

Holter

A Holter test, also known as a Holter monitor test, is a diagnostic tool used to continuously monitor and record the heart's electrical activity over 24 to 48 hours, or sometimes longer.

The cardiac Holter monitor is a small, portable device worn around the waist or shoulder, with electrodes attached to the chest. This Holter monitor test is invaluable for detecting irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not manifest during a standard electrocardiogram (ECG), particularly if they occur occasionally.

Our Holter monitors offer advanced, programmable software for high-fidelity performance, real-time waveform displays, and features for automatic and manual data editing, facilitating detailed arrhythmia analysis and efficient pacemaker detection.

PFT

A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a series of non-invasive assessments, including a spirometry test, designed to evaluate how well the lungs are functioning.

These tests measure key aspects of lung performance, such as lung volume, capacity, airflow rates, and gas exchange efficiency. By conducting these tests, one can monitor various respiratory conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung disorders. The spirometry and other components are essential tools in ensuring effective respiratory care and treatment planning.

The pulmonary function test equipments at Dr Lal PathLabs’ Radiology Center is essential for assessing respiratory conditions, providing precise measurements that enable effective tracking of disease progression and informed treatment decisions.

Uroflowmetry

Uroflowmetry, also known as a uroflowmetry test, is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic procedure that measures the speed and volume of urine flow over time.

This test provides valuable insights into the urinary system’s health and function. By analyzing the urine flow rate, it helps identify potential urinary irregularities and can assist in diagnosing issues related to the bladder, prostate, or sphincter muscles. This test is often recommended when symptoms like difficulty urinating or weak flow arise, allowing for a clearer assessment of underlying conditions.

Uroflowmeters at Dr Lal PathLabs' Radiology Centre are fully automatic, microprocessor-based devices with advanced wireless technology, real-time monitoring, ensuring accurate assessments of urological conditions.

Orthopantomogram (OPG)

An OPG X-ray, or Orthopantomogram, is a specialized dental imaging technique that provides a panoramic view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.

During the procedure, the patient rests their chin on a small shelf in front of the X-ray machine and gently bites on a sterile mouthpiece. This OPG scan captures a single image of both the upper and lower jaws, offering a comprehensive overview of dental health. The OPG X-ray is particularly useful for assessing issues such as tooth positioning, jaw abnormalities, or detecting impacted teeth.

Our OPG instruments offer tomographic cross-sectional imaging with panoramic scanning, providing clear, detailed views of the upper and lower jaw. This makes it an essential tool for accurate diagnostics and proactive dental care.

Mammography

Mammography is a specialized medical imaging technique used to examine breast tissue for early signs of breast cancer and other abnormalities.

During a mammography test, the breasts are gently compressed between two thin plates for a few seconds to capture clear images. It uses low-dose mammography X-rays to create detailed images of the breasts, known as mammograms. These images help detect tumors or irregularities that may be too small to detect during a physical exam. Regular mammography screening is crucial for early detection and prevention of breast cancer.

Mammography equipment at Dr Lal PathLabs offer precise, early cancer detection, combining optimal radiation dose with superior image quality to ensure exceptional diagnostic accuracy while prioritizing patient comfort.

CT Scan

A CT scan, also known as a Computed Tomography scan, is a medical imaging procedure that uses X-ray technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures.

By producing multiple images of the body part being examined, it provides a comprehensive view of bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues. A specialized type, the cardiac CT scan, focuses on capturing detailed images of the heart and blood vessels, helping doctors assess heart health and detect potential issues like blockages or coronary artery disease. Computed tomography is essential for diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions with precision.

Our CT scan machines deliver precise imaging with an optimal balance of resolution, speed, and dose for superior radiation therapy simulation. With 3D rotations and real-time movement, they ensure ultrafast scans, enhancing patient comfort while reducing radiation exposure.

MRI

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses strong magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and tissues within the body.

This method is especially useful for visualizing soft tissues like the brain, muscles, and joints. A brain MRI or MRI brain scan is commonly used to diagnose neurological disorders, tumors, or injuries affecting the brain. Additionally, a full body MRI, also referred to as a full body MRI scan or whole-body MRI scan, provides a comprehensive overview of the entire body, helping in the early detection of various conditions, from tumors to organ abnormalities.

At Dr Lal PathLabs, our MRI machines feature powerful magnetic fields, cutting-edge software, and exceptional image quality, allowing for high-volume scanning with precision and efficiency.
