X-Ray Diagnosis Tests

Our radiology technician will accompany you to perform a Computed Tomography (CAT scan) of the thorax, of the last generation and a low dosage of radiation. A diagnostic imaging technique that identifies lung problems and diseases, even before they have caused any symptoms, with greater sensitivity than a thoracic x-ray.

 

Before the abdominal x-ray is done (an imaging test done through ultrasound, useful for detecting mutations in the internal abdominal organs, especially the gallbladder, bilious tract, liver, and kidneys). This test is also recommended for screening for possible abdominal aortic aneurysm (dilation of the aorta), especially in men 65 year or older.

 
 

Respiratory Function Test: Spirometry

Spirometry is the study of the volume and air flow of the lungs and allows objective, simple, fast, and safe evaluation of the correct function of the lung and the bronchial tubes. It is especially useful in subjects who are smokers or have been smokers in the past.

 
 

Electrocardiograph Test: Electrocardiogram (EKG)

Simple and quick, this test registers the electrical activity of the heart (rhythm and regularity of the heartbeats) and the size and position of the atriums and ventricles without disturbing them.

 
 

Male or Female Specific Consultation: Gynecology/Urology

The specialist will carry out a specific study depending on if the patient is a man or a woman.

 

Man

▪ Urologic and prostate evaluation

▪ Flow rate measuring

▪ Prostate ultrasound

▪ PSA (men who are 40 years or older)

 

Women

▪ Gynecological exam and review

▪ Vaginal ultrasound

▪ Colposcopy y and pap smear exam

▪ Mammary ultrasound (women younger than 40 years of age)

▪ Mammogram (women older than 40 years of age)
