An X-ray is a non-invasive, painless procedure to develop images of internal organs, especially bones. The technique may or may not use contrast media. X-rays find their application in diagnosing bone, chest, abdomen, and urinary tract diseases.
Our Offerings
Barium Studies: Barium X-ray is a radiographic technique for examining the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. During barium x-ray studies, the patient ingests barium, which absorbs the x-ray and forms white images on the x-ray film. Barium forms a coating on the inner wall of the stomach, esophagus, small intestine, and large intestine. It provides detailed information about the shape, size, and lining of the gastrointestinal structure.
Gastrograffin Study: Gastrografin studies are performed to visualize the internal structures of the stomach, esophagus, and intestines. Gastrografin is a contrast agent that contains iodine.
Sinogram/ Fistulogram: Sinogram and Fistulogram are used to visualize the abnormal passage between the two organs. The fistula may be internal, such as rectovaginal or enterorectal fistula, or external, such as enterocutaneous fistula.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG): Hysterosalpingography is a procedure that involves x-rays to visualize the uterus and fallopian tubes to detect abnormalities. The procedure detects fallopian tube blockage, endometrial polyps, and uterine fibroids.
Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCUG): Micturating cystourethrogram is an x-ray procedure that uses a contrast agent to detect abnormalities in the urinary bladder and kidneys. The doctor may recommend this procedure to diagnose the cause of hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infection, urinary incontinence, and bladder obstruction.
Retrograde Urethrogram (RGU) X-ray: It is an x-ray procedure, typically performed in males, to detect the health status of the urethra. The doctor recommends this test to detect the cause of urinary incontinence, blood in urine, and urinary strictures.
Nephrostomogram: Nephrotomogram is a specialized x-ray procedure that involves the use of a contrast agent. The test assists in determining the level of obstruction in the ureters. The test also determines the position of the percutaneous nephrostomy catheter in the kidneys.
Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP): The doctor examines the urinary tract through an intravenous pyelogram. IVP is also known as an excretory urogram. This x-ray technique helps the doctor diagnose enlarged prostate, kidney stones, and urinary tract tumors.
