Echocardiography & Diagnostic Services

2D Echocardiography is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to visualize the structure and function of the heart in real time. By using high-frequency ultrasound waves, this test provides two-dimensional cross-sectional images of the heart's chambers, valves, walls, and blood flow patterns.

Clinical Applications

• Assessment of cardiac anatomy and function
• Detection of structural abnormalities such as septal defects, valve disorders, and chamber enlargement
• Evaluation of heart wall motion and pumping efficiency (ejection fraction)
• Monitoring of known cardiac conditions like heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or congenital heart disease
• Pre-operative and post-operative cardiac evaluation

Why It's Important

2D echocardiography offers a safe, radiation-free method to assess heart health. It is frequently used in both outpatient and inpatient settings due to its diagnostic value, rapid results, and non-invasive nature.

FibroScan, also known as Liver Elastography, is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based diagnostic test used to assess liver stiffness and fat content. Unlike a traditional liver biopsy, FibroScan is quick, painless, and does not require sedation or recovery time.

Clinical Applications

• Assessment of liver fibrosis in hepatitis B, hepatitis C, NAFLD, NASH, and alcoholic liver disease
• Quantification of liver fat (steatosis) using Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP)
• Monitoring disease progression and response to treatment
• Reducing the need for invasive liver biopsy in many cases
• Risk stratification for cirrhosis and liver-related complications
