Preventive Health Checks

“Prevention is better than cure”, is a cliché, but holds a lot of value in our lives. Especially when it comes to our health. It is always recommended that one goes through once a year preventive check to detect the disease early. The sooner you detect any irregularity in your system, better is the management and outcome of treatment.

Regular check ups are recommended since a disease can develop at any stage in life. Further yearly repeat check offers a review of any irregularity that was detected in the first check up.

Our network of hospitals provides different type of health checks to meet your specific requirement. Since every individual and age group has different health needs we have designed specific packages to meet the same.

Diagnostic Tests

We provide the following diagnostic tests:

Pet Imagine

Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a unique type of imaging test that helps doctors see how the organs and tissues inside your body are actually functioning. PET is noninvasive and painless medical test that help physicians diagnose medical conditions.

A PET scan measures important body functions, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar (glucose) metabolism, to help doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are functioning.

PET scans are performed to:

detect cancer or determine how much a cancer has spread in the body
assess the effectiveness of a treatment plan, such as cancer therapy
determine blood flow to the heart muscle
determine the effects of a heart attack, or myocardial infarction, on areas of the heart
identify areas of the heart muscle that would benefit from a procedure such as angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery (in combination with a myocardial perfusion scan).
evaluate brain abnormalities, such as tumors, memory disorders and seizures and other central nervous system disorders
to map normal human brain and heart function

Benefits:

By identifying changes in the body at the cellular level, PET imaging may detect the early onset of disease before it is evident on other imaging tests such as CT or MRI thereby allowing very early diagnosis and treatment.
No special preparation or change in the daily routine is required.
It can differentiate malignant from benign growth as well as spread of malignant tumors.
PET scans can accurately reveal the extent of a cancer and measure how most tumors respond to therapy, it helps doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
PET scans of the heart can be used to determine blood flow to the heart muscle and help evaluate signs of coronary artery disease
PET scans of the heart can also be used to determine if areas of the heart that show decreased function are alive rather than scarred due to a prior heart attack, called a myocardial infarction.

64 Slice Cardiac CT Scan

64-slice CT scanner can visualize the entire heart in less than 10 seconds, revealing blockages in blood vessels and other heart problems that are sometimes not easily detectable with other tests.

64-slice Cardiac CT has ability to do scanning with very high resolution. Scan times are only few seconds (usually 5-13 seconds) which makes it easier for the patients with severe pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure to hold their breath for the required length of time.

Furthermore, higher number of slices means higher resolution; 64-slice scanners are capable of performing 64 slices per rotation at less than 0.4 - 0.7 mm resolution. Such high resolution allows visualization of the entire coronary tree with extremely high accuracy and detail. Calcification can be visualized and used as an added variable in disease management.

Benefits:

Captures high-resolution images of the heart and coronary arteries so quickly that it freeze-frames the heart while it’s beating, the lungs while they’re expanding and contracting, and the blood as it circulates throughout the body.
Provides the same information as a diagnostic coronary angiogram, in a noninvasive manner.
Helps detect atherosclerosis (the disease process that causes heart attacks, strokes, and claudication) at its earliest stages.
Can complete an entire heart scan in nine seconds while patients briefly hold their breath, making the test easier for the elderly, people with respiratory problems and those not able to remain in one position for longer periods of time.
Is especially helpful for patients with chest pain, multiple cardiovascular risk factors, and those who need follow-up after coronary bypass surgery, angioplasty or coronary stent placement.
Can accommodate larger patients.

Whole Body MRI

The MRI, an abbreviation for magnetic resonance imaging, uses magnetic signals, rather than X-rays to create image "slices" of the human body.

An MRI is often used to study nerves, muscles, ligaments, bones, and other tissues in the body; the detail of the study can be quite incredible. An MRI is often used to evaluate the possibility of injuries to ligaments and tendons. Problems in the spine, such as a disc herniation are seen well on an MRI image. Masses and tumors within soft tissues can also be evaluated with MRI.

Whole-body MRI with an automatic moving table is effective for evaluating the entire skeleton in patients with suspected bone metastasis (cancer that has spread to the bone from other parts of the body) in a single imaging scan-and it only takes between 15 and 18 minutes. Besides its accuracy, quickness and the fact that it's an MRI scan-which means it's noninvasive and there is no radiation risk to the patient-whole-body MRI can also detect metastases in other parts of the body besides the bones, such as in the brain, lung or liver.

Advantages:

For Cardiac tests, MRI has the potential of replacing at least 4 other cardiac tests: the echocardiogram, the MUGA scan, the thallium scan, and diagnostic cardiac catheterization.
MRI does not involve exposing the patient to ionizing (potentially harmful) radiation.
The images generated by MRI are remarkably complete, detailed and precise – far more than other cardiac imaging tests.

Digital X-Ray

The advantages of capturing and storing X-Ray Images digitally rather than on film are overwhelming. Digital x-ray imaging has many advantages:

The images can be stored in a very compact manner without risk of loss or deterioration in quality.
The images can be easily enlarged and "suspicious" areas of an image can be more easily studied.
The image quality is much better that conventional radiograph.
The exposure to harmful X-rays is reduced to a great extent.
The images can be easily retrieved, and can be transmitted electronically to an expert or to another medical practitioner in the same hospital or to an insurance company for reimbursement purposes.

Mammography

Mammography is a form of X-ray used to find breast cancers.
It is used in two ways, one as a screening test and the other to examine breast lump. Today the mammogram is the only widely available screening tool used to find small breast cancers that cannot be felt by exam.

Screening Mammogram

Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them.

It is recommended to have screening mammography every year for women, beginning at age 40. Research has shown that annual mammograms lead to early detection of breast cancers, when they are most curable and breast-conservation therapies are available.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) adds that women who have had breast cancer and those who are at increased risk due to a genetic history of breast cancer should seek expert medical advice about whether they should begin screening before age 40 and about the frequency of screening.

Diagnostic Mammogram

Diagnostic mammography is used to evaluate a patient with abnormal clinical findings—such as a breast lump or lumps—that have been found by the woman or her doctor. Diagnostic mammography may also be done after an abnormal screening mammography in order to determine the cause of the area of concern on the screening exam.

Advantages:

Imaging of the breast improves a physician's ability to detect small tumors. When cancers are small, the woman has more treatment options and a cure is more likely.
The use of screening mammography increases the detection of small abnormal tissue growths confined to the milk ducts in the breast, called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). These early tumors cannot harm patients if they are removed at this stage and mammography is the only proven method to reliably detect these tumors. It is also useful for detecting all types of breast cancer, including invasive ductal and invasive lobular cancer.
No radiation remains in a patient's body after an x-ray examination.

Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them.

Nuclear Medeicine Imaging

Nuclear medicine (also called radionuclide scanning)is a subspecialty within the field of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose or treat disease and other abnormalities within the body.

Nuclear medicine imaging procedures are noninvasive and usually painless medical tests that help physicians diagnose medical conditions.

Nuclear medicine imaging is an excellent diagnostic tool because it shows not only the anatomy (structure) of an organ or body part, but the function of the organ as well. This makes nuclear medicine quite valuable in the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of numerous medical conditions.
This additional "functional information" allows nuclear medicine to diagnose certain diseases and various medical conditions much sooner than other medical imaging examinations, which provide mainly anatomic (structural) information about an organ or body part.

Physicians use nuclear imaging to visualize the structure and function of an organ, tissue, bone or system of the body.
Nuclear medicine imaging scans are performed to:

analyze kidney function
visualize heart blood flow and function (such as a myocardial perfusion scan)
scan lungs for respiratory and blood flow problems
identify blockage in the gallbladder
evaluate bones for fracture, infection, arthritis and tumors
determine the presence or spread of cancer
identify bleeding into the bowel
locate the presence of infection
measure thyroid function to detect an overactive or underactive thyroid
investigate abnormalities in the brain

Nuclear medicine therapies include:

Radioactive iodine (I-131) therapy used to treat hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease, a goiter, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer

Dexa

Bone density scanning, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) or bone densitometry, is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that is used to measure bone loss. DEXA is today's established standard for measuring bone mineral density.

DEXA bone densitometry is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that often affects women after menopause but may also be found in men. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile and more likely to break.

DEXA is also effective in tracking the effects of treatment for osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone loss.

The DEXA test can also assess an individual’s risk for developing fractures.

Bone density testing is strongly recommended if you:

are a post-menopausal woman and not taking estrogen.
have a personal or maternal history of hip fracture or smoking.
are a post-menopausal woman who is tall (over 5 feet 7 inches) or thin (less than 125 pounds).
are a man with clinical conditions associated with bone loss.
use medications that are known to cause bone loss, including corticosteroids such as Prednisone, various anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin and certain barbiturates, or high-dose thyroid replacement drugs.
have type 1 (formerly called juvenile or insulin-dependent) diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease or a family history of osteoporosis.
have high bone turnover, which shows up in the form of excessive collagen in urine samples.
have a thyroid condition, such as hyperthyroidism.
have a parathyroid condition, such as hyperparathyroidism.
have experienced a fracture after only mild trauma.
have had x-ray evidence of vertebral fracture or other signs of osteoporosis.

The Lateral Vertebral Assessment (LVA), a low-dose x-ray examination of the spine to screen for vertebral fractures that is performed on the DEXA machine, may be recommended for older patients, especially if:

they have lost more than an inch of height
have unexplained back pain
if a DEXA scan gives borderline readings.

Echo Cardiography

Echocardiography is a painless test that uses sound waves to create images of your heart. It provides your doctor with information about the size and shape of your heart and how well your heart’s chambers and valves are working.

The test also can identify areas of heart muscle that aren’t contracting normally due to poor blood flow or injury from previous heart attack(s). In addition, a type of echocardiography called Doppler ultrasound shows how well blood flows through the chambers and valves of your heart.

Echocardiography can detect possible blood clots inside the heart, fluid buildup in the sac around the heart (pericardium), and problems with the aorta (the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood out of the heart).

You need Echocardiography if you’re suffering from signs and symptoms of heart problems. For example, symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in the legs can be due to weakness of the heart (heart failure), which can be seen on an echocardiogram.

Doctors also recommend echocardiography to diagnose the following:

The size of your heart. An enlarged heart can be the result of high blood pressure, leaky heart valves, or heart failure.
Heart muscles that are weak and aren’t moving (pumping) properly. Weakened areas of heart muscle can be due to damage from a heart attack. Or weakening could mean that the area isn’t getting enough blood supply, which can be due to coronary artery disease.
Problems with your heart’s valves. Echocardiography can show whether any of the valves of your heart don’t open normally or don’t form a complete seal when closed.
Abnormalities in the structure of your heart. Echocardiography can detect a variety of heart abnormalities, such as a hole in the septum (the wall that separates the two chambers on the left side of the heart from the two chambers on the right side) and other congenital heart defects (structural problems present at birth).
The aorta. Echocardiography is commonly used to assess and detect problems with the aorta such as aneurysm (abnormal bulge or “ballooning” in the wall of an artery)
Blood clots or tumors. If you have had a stroke, echocardiography might be done to check for blood clots or tumors that may have caused it.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (x-ray). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.

Ultrasound imaging is usually a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Conventional ultrasound displays the images in thin, flat sections of the body. Advancements in ultrasound technology include three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound that formats the sound wave data into 3-D images. Four-dimensional (4-D) ultrasound is 3-D ultrasound in motion.

A Doppler ultrasound study may be part of an ultrasound examination.

Doppler Ultrasound

Doppler ultrasound is a special ultrasound technique that evaluates blood as it flows through a blood vessel, including the body's major arteries and veins in the abdomen, arms, legs and neck.

There are three types of Doppler ultrasound:

Color Doppler uses a computer to convert Doppler measurements into an array of colors to visualize the speed and direction of blood flow through a blood vessel.
Power Doppler is a newer technique that is more sensitive than color Doppler and capable of providing greater detail of blood flow, especially in vessels that are located inside organs. Power Doppler, however, does not help the radiologist determine the direction of flow, which may be important in some situations.
Spectral Doppler Instead of displaying Doppler measurements visually, Spectral Doppler displays blood flow measurements graphically, in terms of the distance traveled per unit of time.
