In the healthcare industry, Silicon Valley Medical Imaging has made quite a mark with the help of not only a supremely talented team of well trained physicians but also by providing fantastic radiology services, improving the lives of millions of patients. The Valley Imaging Partners David Topper has made a fundamental contribution in the journey.
Operating in a patient caring environment, the physicians here provide quite a range of services like CT-Scan, PET-CT, ultrasound, Cardiac Stress, body fat scan, X-Ray etc, a detailed description of some of which has been given below.
CT scan
Through a CT scan, all parts of your body like pelvis, belly, chest, an arm or leg is studied in detail. It takes picture of body organs like kidneys, pancreas, liver etc. During the test, you will be asked by a reliable medical professional here to lie on a table that is attached to a CT scanner and each rotation of the scanner takes even less than a second to give a picture of the thin slice of the area or organ. The pictures are saved as a group in the computer then and they can even be printed.
PET-CT scan
If an individual is suspected of cancer or has cancer, then in this procedure, a nuclear medicine specialist performs a PET-CT scan to see what exactly is going inside the patient’s body. The patient is prepared for PET-CT scan here by asking not to indulge into exercise for 24-48 hours before the test, to have only water that morning, low carbohydrate intake during the last night’s meal, to spend around 2 hours for the test in the facility.
Cardiac Stress test
Electrocardiogram, also called the cardiac stress test is used to give information about how a heart responds to exertion. While an individual pedals a stationary bike, walks on a treadmill, through electrocardiogram, the blood pressure and heart rate is measured here by a specialist. This not just helps the patients to develop a safe exercise program but also recognizes abnormal heart rhythms if there is any. For more information, pay a visit to svmedicalimaging.com
