Ultrasonography
Ultrasound scanning or sonography is a diagnostic imaging procedure
to obtain images from inside the human body through the use of very
high frequency sound waves. The sound waves echoes are recorded &
displayed as a real time, visual image. No radiation is involved in
ultrasound imaging. Doppler ultrasound is a special technique used
to examine blood flow. This can help to diagnose a variety of
conditions causing narrowing or dilatation of the blood vessels.
Cancer
Screening
PAP smear :
A Pap smear is a test your doctor does to check for signs of cancer of
the cervix. The cervix is part of your uterus (womb). During a Pap
smear, your doctor takes a sample of cells from your cervix to be
tested.
To take the sample, your doctor will put a special instrument called a
speculum into your vagina. This helps open your vagina so the sample
can be taken. Your doctor will gently clean your cervix with a cotton
swab and then collect a sample of cells with a small brush, a tiny
spatula or a cotton swab. This sample is put on a glass slide and sent
to a lab to be checked.
Colposcopy :
Coloposcopy is a diagnostic tool to determine the cause of
abnormalities found in Pap smears. A colposcopy is a visual
examination of the cervix--a relatively simple and painless procedure,
usually performed in your physician's office. The actual procedure
lasts approximately ten to fifteen minutes. A colposcope is a large,
electric microscope that is positioned approximately 30 cm from your
vagina. A bright light on the end of the colposcope makes it possible
for your physician to visualize your cervix.
