Comprehensive Diagnostic Services Offered at SMCRI Super Specialty Hospital Laboratory Services The Laboratory Services at SMCRI offer a wide range of diagnostic tests to assess various medical conditions:

• Blood Tests: Comprehensive blood panels for general health, infection, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, and more.
• Urine and Stool Analysis: Routine urine and stool tests for diagnosing infections, kidney diseases, and digestive disorders.
• Biopsy Services: Tissue biopsy services for the diagnosis of cancers and other serious conditions.
• Hormonal and Endocrine Tests: Blood tests to assess hormone levels, thyroid function, and adrenal glands.
• Microbiology Tests: Identifying infectious agents like bacteria, viruses, and fungi through culture and sensitivity testing.

Radiology and Imaging Services Our Radiology Department is equipped with advanced imaging technologies to support accurate diagnoses and treatment planning:

• X-ray: High-quality diagnostic X-rays for evaluating bone fractures, lung conditions, and abdominal issues.
• CT Scan (Computed Tomography): Detailed cross-sectional imaging to diagnose internal injuries, tumors, and other complex conditions.
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Non-invasive imaging to visualize soft tissues like muscles, nerves, and organs, providing detailed images for neurological, orthopedic, and cardiovascular conditions.
• Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging using sound waves for evaluating abdominal organs, pregnancy, heart function (echocardiography), and musculoskeletal issues.
• Mammography: Screening for breast cancer, with both diagnostic and preventive applications.
• Fluoroscopy: Real-time X-ray imaging for guiding diagnostic and interventional procedures, particularly in gastrointestinal studies.

Cardiology Diagnostic Services Cardiac diagnostic services at SMCRI focus on assessing the heart’s function and detecting cardiovascular diseases:

• ECG (Electrocardiogram): Measuring electrical activity of the heart to identify irregularities or heart disease.
• Echocardiography: Ultrasound imaging of the heart to assess its structure and function.
• Stress Test: Monitoring heart performance under physical exertion to detect hidden heart conditions.
• Holter Monitoring: Continuous 24-48 hour ECG monitoring to detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
• Cardiac CT and MRI: Advanced imaging to diagnose coronary artery disease, heart disease, and vascular conditions.

Neurology Diagnostic Services The Neurology Department offers diagnostic services to identify a range of neurological conditions:

• EEG (Electroencephalogram): Recording brain electrical activity to diagnose epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions.
• EMG (Electromyography): Measuring electrical activity in muscles to assess nerve and muscle function, particularly in patients with neuromuscular disorders.
• Nerve Conduction Studies: Testing nerve function and diagnosing conditions like neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other peripheral nerve disorders.
• CT/MRI Brain Imaging: High-resolution imaging to detect neurological conditions such as tumors, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and dementia.
• Neurosonography: Ultrasound imaging of the brain and spinal cord in infants, particularly for detecting birth defects and conditions such as hydrocephalus.

Oncology Diagnostic Services SMCRI provides advanced diagnostic tools for early detection, staging, and monitoring of cancer:

• PET-CT Scan: Combining positron emission tomography (PET) with a CT scan to detect cancer, evaluate its spread, and monitor treatment response.
• Cancer Biomarker Tests: Blood and tissue tests to detect specific markers indicative of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colon cancers.
• Endoscopy and Colonoscopy: Minimally invasive procedures for detecting gastrointestinal cancers, ulcers, and polyps.
• Histopathology: Microscopic examination of tissue samples to confirm cancer diagnosis and determine the stage of the disease.
• Mammography and Ultrasound: Breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging for lumps, cysts, or irregularities.

Pulmonary Diagnostic Services For individuals with respiratory conditions, our Pulmonary Diagnostic Services provide comprehensive testing:

• Spirometry: Assessing lung function to diagnose conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis.
• Chest X-ray and CT Scan: Detecting lung diseases, infections, and structural abnormalities in the lungs.
• Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): A series of tests to assess lung capacity and airflow to diagnose respiratory conditions.
• Bronchoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing lung diseases, infections, and detecting abnormal tissue in the airways.

Gastroenterology Diagnostic Services Our Gastroenterology Department offers diagnostic services to evaluate and treat digestive system disorders:

• Endoscopy: Including upper GI endoscopy (gastroscopy) to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for conditions like ulcers and GERD.
• Colonoscopy: For colorectal cancer screening, diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and other gastrointestinal conditions.
• Liver Biopsy: A diagnostic procedure to assess liver diseases like cirrhosis, hepatitis, and fatty liver disease.
• Hepatitis Testing: Blood tests to diagnose Hepatitis B and C infections and assess liver damage.
• Stool Tests: Testing for infections, blood in the stool, and digestive disorders.

Orthopedic Diagnostic Services The Orthopedic Diagnostic Services are crucial for diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders and conditions:

• X-rays: For detecting bone fractures, joint dislocations, arthritis, and other bone conditions.
• MRI and CT Scan: Imaging to evaluate soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, and joint cartilage for conditions like tears, sprains, and arthritis.
• Bone Densitometry (DEXA Scan): For assessing bone density and diagnosing conditions like osteoporosis.
• Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgical technique to visualize and diagnose joint conditions.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Diagnostic Services For women’s health, SMCRI offers a full range of diagnostic services:

• Ultrasound and 3D/4D Imaging: Non-invasive imaging to monitor pregnancy, detect fetal abnormalities, and assess the health of reproductive organs.
• Pap Smears: Screening for cervical cancer through routine gynecological exams.
• Hormone Testing: Assessing hormonal imbalances related to menstrual cycles, menopause, and fertility issues.
• Mammography: Early detection of breast cancer through regular screening.
