X-Ray Imaging:

X-ray imaging, also known as radiography, uses electromagnetic radiation to create detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues within the body. X-rays are valuable for diagnosing fractures, joint injuries, lung conditions, and digestive issues. Our X-ray services include:

Ultrasound Imaging:

Ultrasound imaging, or sonography, utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs and structures. Ultrasound is safe, non-invasive, and commonly used in obstetrics, cardiology, and various medical specialties. Our ultrasound services include:

  • Obstetric ultrasound for prenatal care and monitoring fetal development.
  • Abdominal ultrasound to assess organs such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and pancreas.
  • Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography) for evaluating heart function and detecting abnormalities.
  • Vascular ultrasound to assess blood flow and detect vascular conditions.

Laboratory testing plays an important role in diagnosing diseases, monitoring health indicators, and guiding treatment decisions. Our laboratory services offer a wide range of tests and analyses, including:

  • Blood Tests: CBC, blood chemistry, lipid profile, thyroid function tests, and more.
