An ultrasound, also known as a sonography procedure, is a medical imaging method that employs high-frequency sound waves to generate pictures of internal body structures, including organs, tissues, and blood flow, without using radiation. A specialised device known as a transducer, which is a handheld probe with a gel applied to the skin, is moved […]
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most advanced diagnostic methods in today’s medicine. As a non-invasive medical imaging method, MRI uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to generate detailed images of organs, bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, […]
Bone health is an essential but frequently ignored aspect of a person’s health. As we get older, the likelihood of weak bones and fractures increases, making it necessary to detect and monitor bone health. A Bone Density Test (BDT) uses low-dose X-rays to measure the calcium and mineral content of bones to diagnose osteopenia (low […]
A CT scan, or Computed Tomography scan, is a modern imaging technique that allows doctors to visualise and diagnose the human body in detail. CT scans produce cross-sectional images that can be combined to create three-dimensional images, making them perhaps one of the most significant diagnostic tools in medicine today. CT scans can be used […]
Respiratory tract infections affect the nose, throat, airways and lungs and cause various diseases. They are usually caused by viruses, bacteria or sometimes fungi infecting the respiratory tract, resulting in inflammation. Symptoms of respiratory tract infections often include cough, fever and rhinorrhea. Some minor infections completely resolve with time and rest, but serious infections may […]
