An Ultrasound, also known as a Sonography or Ultrasonography, is a diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to view soft tissues in the body without radiation. The technology transmits high-frequency sound waves through the body. The resulting images can be turned into both photos and videos.
Ultrasounds capture scans of soft tissues like the gall bladder, liver, and kidneys. Unlike CT, PET, or SPECT scans, they only provide 2D images.
An echocardiogram (echo) is a special type of ultrasound to view the heart muscles and valves. It allows doctors to detect heart disease at its early stages and determine steps for further treatment. As a noninvasive procedure, it’s the preferred recommendation for patients who only need cardiac treatment.
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a minimally invasive medical specialty that treats painful conditions without surgery. Some IR procedures we provide include catheter insertion, stent replacement. We also offer needle biopsies, which involves taking soft tissue through the needle to study it for disease. In addition, pain and neck pain can be healed through kyphoplasty, wherein the doctor injects a cement mixture into the spine to increase its strength and reduce pain. Due to its noninvasive nature, the recovery time or IR is much shorter than for surgery. This makes it an efficient way to treat and manage pain with less risks of complications.
A Computed Topography (CT) scan is a medical procedure that uses a series of X Ray beams to take a “sliced” image of the body. When these images are combined, it provides a 3D model for doctors to observe the patient’s soft tissues, bones, and organs for abnormalities.

Nuclear medicine is a specialty that uses radioactive tracers called radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose, treat, and analyze the body. Our PET and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan technologies both use nuclear medicine to detect disease. When nuclear medicine is combined with special cameras, doctors can track how the tracers react with abnormalities in the body. A SPECT helps doctors track and diagnose heart, bone, and gall bladder diseases. It can also detect internal bleeding. This makes it different from PET scans, which are used to observe tumors or cancer.
