WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS?

CARDIAC SCORING: A DEEP DIVE INTO ASSESSING HEART HEALTH

Cardiac scoring is a non-invasive imaging test used to help assess heart health. Other names for this test include coronary calcium CT scan, heart CT calcium scan and coronary artery calcium scan. All refer to the same thing: a quick, painless computed tomography scan used to discover and assess any build-up of calcium, fat and cholesterol, collectively called plaque, in the coronary arteries.

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF MRI ELASTROGRAPHY

MRI elastography works on the principle that healthy tissues are more elastic than diseased or fibrotic tissues. MRI elastography uses computer assistance to measure how low frequency vibrations move through liver tissue. The imaging procedure generates color-coded maps, identifying softer tissues with warmer colors like red and yellow, and stiffer areas with cooler tones like blue and green. This visual representation aids in quickly identifying abnormal places within the liver for early disease detection, and enables your radiologist and referring clinician to rapidly compare results with previous tests, so even small changes can be easily identified.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A NUCLEAR MEDICINE THYROID SCAN?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. The thyroid gland produces three hormones, thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and calcitonin. The main two, T4 and T3, control metabolism, the process of transforming food into energy. When the thyroid produces too much or too little of these hormones, serious symptoms or problems may occur. A thyroid imaging scan is a common procedure indicated for people experiencing certain symptoms and/or clinical indicators.
