Computed Tomography (CT)
CT Cardiac (aka heart scan) to assess calcium deposits and accumulation in the coronary vessels
CT Abdomen & Pelvis (may also be part of "body scan") to assess potential masses in the liver, pancreas, kidney, adrenal and aortic aneurysm
CT Angiography to evaluate disease in blood vessels anywhere in the body, including the heart
CT Body to screen for the presence of masses anywhere in the chest, abdomen and the pelvis
CT Chest (may be part of "body scan") to assess and screen for lung cancers, infections, empyema (pus in the chest cavity), pneumonia and pneumothorax (air in the chest cavity)
CT Head to assess masses, infections, aneurysms and cause of headaches
CT Pediatrics (in children) to assess the head, brain, abdomen and chest
CT Sinus to assess sinus infections and presence of foreign bodies
CT Spine to assess back pain, infections, trauma and disc herniation (Slipped disc)
CT Colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy) to assess masses in the colon and rectum
CT Guided Biopsy allows one to obtain a piece of tissue from most places in the body
CT Guided Drainage allows one to drain fluid or pus from chest, abdomen, pelvis, thighs and neck
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI Angiogram (MRA) to assess blood vessels in chest, neck, brain, abdomen and legs
MRI Breast allows the ability to image women with breast implants (high risk of rupture if mammogram is done) and obtaining a breast biopsy
MRI Body allows one to assess any swelling or masses seen on the chest, legs, hands, back or neck
MRI Heart can assess the heart chambers and surrounding tissues (pericardium)
MRI Chest to assess chest cavity, chest wall and muscles, ribs and lining of chest wall
MRI Head to assess brain tumors, infections, aneurysms
MRI skeleton to assess bone anywhere in body
MRI Prostate to assess the presence of a mass
MRI Spine to assess cause of back pain, disc herniation (prolapse) and masses
MRI Brain to assess cause of dementia, stroke, and following head trauma
Angiogram
Angiogram legs to assess disease (blockage) in the thighs, legs and foot
Angiogram brain to assess presence of aneurysms, AV malformations (abnormal blood vessels) and other causes of bleeding in the brain
Angiogram chest to assess presence of aneurysms and dissection (disruption) of aorta
Angiogram abdomen to assess the presence of aortic aneurysm and narrowing of blood vessels of the kidney and bowels
Angiogram arms to assess disease or blockage of the blood vessels to the arm
Angiogram lysis this technique helps to dissolve recent clots in the blood vessels
Angiogram declotting this technique helps to dissolve clots in dialysis grafts
Angioplasty this technique is useful for ballooning (angioplasty) or stenting of narrowed blood vessels
Embolization This technique can help to close off blood vessels. It is a useful treatment for the treatment of abnormal blood vessels (AV Fistula) or a large collection of blood vessels (hemangiomas)
Ultrasound
Hysterosonography to assess uterus for fibroids and other masses
Obstetrics allows one to assess infant during pregnancy
Abdomen allows one to assess gall bladder, pancreas, liver, bile duct and kidney
Pediatric (children) allows one to assess skull, head, sinus and abdomen
Breast to assess breast masses, cysts
Carotids (vessels in the neck) to assess narrowing of blood vessels in neck. These vessels narrow down and cause strokes
Legs (veins) to assess presence of clots in legs/thigh, and the technique can also evaluate the cause of varicose veins
Legs (arteries) to assess the presence of narrowing in the blood vessels which supply the leg
Pelvis to assess fluid/pus collection
Prostate to assess prostate mass
Scrotum to assess mass, fluids or hernias
Thyroid to assess mass
Kidney to assess mass, stones and fluid/pus collections
Vascular to assess veins and arteries of the legs and arms
Heart to assess fluid around heart
Biopsy allows one to obtain tissue for anaylsis
Drainage allows one to drain fluid/pus
Doppler to assess flow of blood
Bone Scan
Densitometry to assess degree of osteoporosis
Mammogram
Breast to assess for masses, and also to help in placement of a needle for localization
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Cancer to detect the presence of cancer in most parts of the body
Heart to assess the function of the heart
Seizures can sometimes determine the cause of seizures
Brain to determine the presence of brain cancers
Infection to determine the presence of infection in the body
