Bone Density
A Bone Density Test is designed to check for osteoporosis, a disease that occurs when the bones become thin and weak. Osteoporosis happens when the bones lose calcium and other minerals that keep them strong. The Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry takes a picture of the bones in the spine, hip, total body and wrist and calculates their density.
Stress Test
A Stress Test (sometimes called an exercise electrocardiogram) measures the heart's response to an increased demand for oxygen. The patient is placed on either a treadmill or exercise bicycle. Slowly, the incline of the treadmill, or the resistance of the bicycle is increased, resulting in an increased workload for the heart. The patient's heart rate, blood pressure and heart rhythm are continously monitored during the test. An electrocardiogram obtained throughout the test. The physician evaluates your heart's function in response to physical stress.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, also called cryosurgery, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy diseased tissue, including cancer cells. In cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen or argon gas is applied to the diseased cells. Cryotherapy is used to treat skin tumors, pre-cancerous skin moles, nodules, skin tags, warts, and unsightly freckles.
Electrocardiogram
An Electrocardiogram (EKG) is a noninvasive test that is used to reflect underlying heart conditions by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. By placing leads (electrical sensing devices) on the body in standardized locations, information about many heart conditions can be learned by looking for characteristic patterns.
