CT scans

CT (computed tomography) uses X-rays to build three-dimensional images. A short scan yields a great deal of information, and because it is read in 3D — unlike a plain radiograph — lesions anywhere in the body can be examined in fine detail.

When a CT scan is needed

Because CT images can be reconstructed in 3D, we use CT when a tumor or vascular disease is suspected. In cancer patients it shows tumor size, invasion and metastasis in detail, and pre-operative CT lets us plan surgery precisely — and, when needed, rehearse it on a 3D-printed model to help improve the chance of success.

  • Head & neck

    • Otitis externa and media, hydrocephalus, rhinitis, dental disease
    • Head and neck tumors, inflammation, hemorrhage
    • Sialocele, lymph node enlargement, thyroid assessment

  • Thorax

    • Lung, mediastinal, cardiac and esophageal tumors; lung metastasis
    • Lung collapse, lung lobe torsion, lymph node enlargement
    • Tracheal and bronchial collapse, bronchiectasis

  • Abdomen

    • Abdominal organ assessment; abdominal tumors and inflammation
    • Hernias; obstruction from gallstones or urinary stones
    • Ovarian remnant, retained testicle, congenital ectopic ureter

  • Musculoskeletal & skin

    • Skull fractures, occipital dysplasia
    • Spinal and rib fractures, disc herniation
    • Musculoskeletal and subcutaneous tumors, infiltrative lipoma, chest and abdominal wall defects

  • Vascular disease

    • Thrombosis and embolism; congenital and acquired portosystemic shunts
    • Patent ductus arteriosus, persistent right aortic arch

Ultrasound

Ultrasound turns the echoes of sound waves sent from a probe into an image, visualizing internal tissues and organs in real time. Non-invasive sound waves show whether disease is present and the size and character of any lesion — in the abdominal organs and also in the brain ventricles, heart, lungs, tumors, eyes, muscles, joints and ligaments.

Our ultrasound equipment

With the Canon Aplio i700 and Aplio me, we perform detailed abdominal, cardiac and musculoskeletal ultrasound, and iBeam high-resolution imaging and Superb Micro-vascular Imaging (SMI) let us examine small structures in detail. The portable LOGIQ e, used for ocular ultrasound, can be taken to the patient's side in an emergency, when timing matters, and its hockey-stick probe gives detailed images of the retina and eye.

01 / Cardiac

Cardiac ultrasound

Echocardiography

Assesses the structure and function of the heart and the great vessels of the chest. A key test for diagnosing and monitoring valve disease, contractility, regurgitation and congenital or acquired heart disease; our ultrasound systems can measure heart wall motion for a more detailed evaluation.

  • Structure and blood flow: cardiac anatomy and blood flow viewed in real time
02 / Abdominal

Abdominal ultrasound

Liver, kidneys, GI tract & bladder

Evaluates the shape, function and blood flow of the abdominal organs — liver and biliary tract, urinary tract, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems. Also guides procedures such as abdominocentesis and fine-needle aspiration (FNA).

  • Detailed organ assessment: liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys and more
  • Tumor and microvascular assessment (SMI): captures fine blood flow for precise evaluation
03 / Musculoskeletal

Musculoskeletal ultrasound

Joints, tendons & muscles

Real-time assessment of joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons.

  • Fine-structure diagnosis: the cruciate ligament and tissues around the kneecap
  • Soft tissue tumors: maps the blood supply within a tumor and its relationship to surrounding tissue
04 / Ocular

Ocular ultrasound

Eye

When the basic eye examination (intraocular pressure, slit lamp) cannot give an answer, ultrasound shows the structures inside the eye in detail. An ultra-high-frequency hockey-stick probe examines the retina, lens and vitreous closely.

  • Retinal detachment and retinal tumors
  • Lens luxation or opacity, vitreous hemorrhage, intraocular masses and more

Aplio i700 & Aplio me
Abdominal ultrasound diagnoses disease of the liver and biliary tract, gastrointestinal, urinary and reproductive systems. It evaluates the shape, function, size, echotexture and blood flow of the organs in the abdomen.
It is a key test for diagnosing and evaluating circulatory disorders of the heart and the great vessels of the chest. Assessing how the heart contracts and relaxes helps us plan treatment.
