The Right Diagnostic Imaging Exams Can Change Lives

Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:00:00 GMT

A patient is often hesitant to undergo diagnostic testing for a number of reasons. Most tests are time consuming, expensive, and uncomfortable or painful at times. In some instances, a patient also deems it unnecessary to undergo such procedures.

The right diagnostic tests can actually change lives. These tests aid a physician in determining the right course of action based on test results. Tests make it easier to identify certain diseases in specific body parts. Prevalent symptoms can be similar in different diseases and diagnostic tests help distinguish the difference in order for doctors to accurately diagnose it. Best of all, advanced technology allows diagnostic testing machines to find abnormalities which doctors are unable to spot immediately. These tests will help spot potential life threatening issues including those which are cancerous in nature. Thus, an early treatment is prescribed which prevents the illness from becoming worse.

Every patient has the right to know what a specific diagnostic testing is for including risks and benefits associated with the procedure. The patient must be briefed about how a procedure is completed and what preparation is required. With proper information, a patient is less doubtful about specific diagnostic tests.

Advanced technology has enabled the use of new equipments which allows procedures to be completed faster, with minimal discomfort attached, and at a more affordable price. Some of the newer medical devices used for diagnostic testing include the following:

Philips Infineon MRI reduces MRI examination time by half the usual time needed and allows results to be processed faster.
Philips Brilliance Multi-Slice CT scanner features multi slice configuration and 3D virtual imaging. It can complete body scans in less than a minute and can yield routine high performance. It is applied for screening in colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, angiography, coronary artery calcium, lung cancer, and oncology imaging.
Digital mammogram, a special x-ray of the breast is applied to locate possible cancers early on.
Mammotome technology including the Mammotome Breast Biopsy System is used an early diagnosis method for breast cancer. It can be completed in less than an hour and requires only a quarter of inch of incision under anesthesia to lessen uneasiness.
DEXA or Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry is utilized for body composition and fat free body mass and is most accurate among competing methods.
Color Doppler images is used for a precise representation of internal body parts.
Computer Aided Detection or CAD is now used in aiding radiologists when interpreting mammograms with the use of digital imagery.

How to Prepare for a Breast Exam and Breast Examinations at Viera Diagnostic Center

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 04:00:00 GMT

If you’re undergoing a breast exam, there are only a few pointers you need to know about in order to prepare for the examination. Since the tests will require you to undress from waist up, it is recommended for you to wear two piece clothing such as jeans at the bottom and a button blouse on top. It will be easier for you to simply unbutton a blouse as compared to undressing when wearing a full dress or a t-shirt. The use of deodorants, powder, cream, body lotion, and other products applied on the underarms is not recommended.

As with all other medical tests, preparation also includes having an ample amount of rest before the actual examination day. Thus, a good night’s sleep the night before the test is advised. In any case, avoid stress and fatigue before undergoing an exam as these may actually affect the results of the test. Eating properly and avoiding certain pills or medications may also be recommended.

At Viera Diagnostic Center, we use only advanced technology equipments for various breast examinations. We use Digital Mammography for breast X-Rays and the Mammotome Breast Biopsy System for breast biopsies. The former applies a special type of X-Ray for breasts in order to detect small cancers long before they are diagnosed by a physician. The latter on the other hand is a product of Ethicon Endo-Surgery (a Johnson & Johnson company) and is vital in assisting physicians to find breast abnormalities and collect tissue samples for further diagnosis of breast diseases.

The Mammotome Breast Biopsy System is different from usual breast biopsy procedures because it is minimally invasive and needs only ¼ inch of incision. It is completed in less than an hour under anesthesia to minimize discomfort.

At Viera Diagnostic Center, we make sure that you are comfortable with any type of breast examination. Our Women’s Center is tailored to make women at ease with medical diagnostic testing. Designated dressing areas and waiting areas are separate to allow women the privacy they need.
