Breast Scan

A non-invasive imaging technique using ultrasound or mammography to detect lumps, cysts, tumors, or infections in breast tissue. It helps diagnose breast cancer, fibroadenomas, and mastitis. Ultrasound is preferred for younger women and pregnant patients, while mammography is used for routine cancer screening in older women.

Thyroid Scan

An imaging procedure using ultrasound or radioactive iodine uptake to evaluate thyroid gland structure and function. It helps diagnose thyroid nodules, goiters, cysts, and cancers. Ultrasound is commonly used for nodule assessment, while nuclear scans assess hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease, and thyroid malignancies by tracking iodine absorption.

Parotid Scan

An ultrasound or MRI scan to examine the parotid glands for tumors, cysts, infections, or salivary gland stones. It helps diagnose conditions like sialadenitis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and benign or malignant tumors. Ultrasound is commonly used for initial evaluation, while MRI provides detailed soft-tissue imaging.

Parathyroid Scan

A nuclear medicine or ultrasound scan used to locate abnormal parathyroid glands in cases of hyperparathyroidism. Sestamibi scintigraphy is the most common nuclear imaging technique, detecting overactive glands causing high calcium levels. Ultrasound helps visualize parathyroid adenomas and differentiate them from thyroid nodules.

Scrotal Scan

A scrotal ultrasound used to evaluate testicular conditions like torsion, varicocele, hydrocele, epididymitis, and tumors. It helps differentiate between benign and malignant masses, assess blood flow using Doppler imaging, and detect testicular trauma or infections. It’s a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic method for scrotal abnormalities.

Neonatal Neurosonogram

A cranial ultrasound performed in newborns, especially preterm infants, to assess brain structures and detect conditions like intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, or periventricular leukomalacia. Conducted via the fontanelle, it provides critical early diagnosis of neurological complications in high-risk infants without radiation exposure.

Transrectal Scan

A specialized ultrasound procedure where a probe is inserted into the rectum to evaluate the prostate, rectum, or pelvic structures. It helps diagnose prostate enlargement, cancer, abscesses, and infertility-related conditions. It provides high-resolution images and is often used for prostate biopsies or guiding therapeutic procedures.
