X-Rays or Radiographs
X-rays are noninvasive tests that use x-ray beams that pass through the body and are then captured on a computerized detector from which an image is made. X-rays may be performed on any body part. When your physician needs to investigate a chronic cough, fever, abdominal ache, or bone injury, diagnostic x-rays are a quick and effective imaging tool for illness or injury evaluation.
Body Composition Analysis
“Body Composition” is used to describe the different components that when taken together, make up a person’s body weight. The human body is composed of a variety of different tissue types including lean tissues (muscle, bone, and organs) that are metabolically active and fat (adipose) tissue that is not.
DEXA or Bone Density Scan
Bone densitometry, or DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), is a simple, noninvasive X-ray procedure that is used to measure bone mineral density. The results may reduce your risk of developing bone loss, osteoporosis or a fracture. This is a painless procedure and radiation exposure is minimal.
Non-Invasive Ultrasounds
Ultrasound is a non-invasive, diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize internal abdominal and pelvic organs, vessels, and superficial structures for possible pathology or lesions without the use of ionizing radiation. Common ultrasound studies include:
Abdomen
Pelvic/TV or Renal Ultrasound
Obstetrical Ultrasound
Neck or Thyroid Ultrasound Breast Ultrasound
Abdominal Doppler Ultrasound
Carotid Doppler Ultrasound
Venous Doppler Ultrasound (Upper & Lower)
Peripheral Vascular Doppler Ultrasound (Upper & Lower)
