Investigations
Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Endoscopic Ultrasonography merges endoscopy with ultrasound technology, providing detailed images of the digestive tract's layers and surrounding organs for comprehensive analysis.
Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule Endoscopy involves swallowing a small, camera-equipped capsule, providing a non-invasive examination of the entire digestive tract, especially the small intestine.
Manometry
measures muscle pressure and movements in the esophagus and rectum, aiding in diagnosing disorders affecting gastrointestinal motility.
Upper GI Endoscopy
Upper GI Endoscopy allows direct visualization of the upper gastrointestinal tract, aiding in diagnosing and treating esophageal, stomach, and duodenal conditions.
ERCP
ERCP combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat bile duct and pancreatic duct disorders, offering therapeutic and diagnostic benefits.
MRI
MRI offers excellent soft-tissue contrast, noninvasiveness, and lack of ionizing radiation, making it valuable for assessing gastrointestinal diseases, such as appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Enteroscopy
is a specialized procedure to examine and treat conditions in the small intestine, using a long, flexible endoscope for detailed imaging.
CT
CT provides detailed images of the body's internal structures, aiding in diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders. It is also used for CT angiography and virtual colonoscopy
