  • PET Scan

  • ECG (Electrocardiogram) records the heart's electrical activity.
  • It is done to diagnose heart conditions like arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities.

  • TMT (Treadmill Test) evaluates the heart's response to physical stress.
  • It is recommended for patients with chest pain, suspected coronary artery disease, or as part of a cardiac health assessment.

  • 2D ECHO (Two-dimensional Echocardiogram) uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart.
  • It detects heart size, valve abnormalities, blood flow, and pumping efficiency.

  • CAG (Coronary Angiography) is an imaging test to check blood flow in the coronary arteries.
  • It is recommended for patients with symptoms of coronary artery disease or those who have had a heart attack.

  • Holter Monitoring is a portable device that records the heart's electrical activity for 24-48 hours.
  • It is used to detect intermittent arrhythmias and other heart rhythm abnormalities.

  • EP Study (Electrophysiology Study) evaluates the heart's electrical system and rhythm.
  • It is performed to diagnose and treat arrhythmias.

  • This test measures blood pressure continuously over 24 hours using a wearable device.
  • It helps in diagnosing hypertension, white-coat syndrome, and monitoring blood pressure treatment.

  • A Sleep Study diagnoses sleep disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome.
  • It is recommended for individuals with symptoms like loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, or pauses in breathing during sleep.

  • X-Ray is a quick imaging test to visualize bones, organs, and soft tissues.
  • It diagnoses fractures, lung infections, joint problems, and other conditions.

  • USG (Ultrasound/Sonography) uses sound waves to create images of internal organs.
  • It is commonly used for abdominal scans, pregnancy monitoring, and detecting organ abnormalities.

  • CT Scan (Computed Tomography) uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
  • It is used to diagnose tumors, internal injuries, infections, and other conditions.

  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed body images.
  • It is required for brain scans, joint issues, spinal problems, and soft tissue imaging.

  • DEXA Scan measures bone mineral density (BMD).
  • It is recommended for individuals at risk of osteoporosis or fractures.

  • Mammography is an X-ray of the breast.
  • It is important for early detection of breast cancer, especially in women over 40 or those with a family history of breast cancer.

  • PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography) detects abnormal metabolic activity in tissues.
  • It is used to diagnose cancer, monitor cancer treatment, and assess brain and heart conditions.

Yes, many of these tests (e.g., ECG, TMT, 2D ECHO, and DEXA Scan) are suitable for preventive health check-ups to identify potential health risks early.

Preparation varies by test:

  • Fasting may be required for some imaging tests (e.g., CT or PET Scans).
  • Comfortable clothing is recommended for tests like TMT and Sleep Study.
  • Your doctor will provide specific instructions based on the test.

Yes, these tests are safe when conducted under professional supervision.

  • Minimal radiation exposure occurs in tests like X-rays, CT, and Mammography.
  • Non-invasive tests like USG, MRI, and DEXA Scan are completely safe.

  • ECG/X-Ray/USG: 5-15 minutes
  • TMT/Sleep Study: 30 minutes to several hours
  • CT/MRI/PET Scan: 15-60 minutes
  • 24-Hour BP Monitoring: Entire day

Most diagnostic tests require a doctor’s referral, especially advanced tests like MRI, CAG, and EP Study.

Yes, many of these diagnostic tests are covered by health insurance. However, coverage depends on your policy. Check with your insurer for details.
