BREAST CANCER SCREENING
3D-MAMMOGRAPHY
Breast screening is critically important because it plays a pivotal role in the early detection of breast cancer. Early detection significantly improves the chances of successful treatment and survival. Regular breast screening, typically through mammography and clinical breast exams, allows healthcare providers to identify potential abnormalities or tumors in the breast tissue before symptoms develop. This proactive approach enables timely intervention, often at a stage when cancer is smaller, localized, and more treatable. Breast screening not only saves lives but also reduces the need for aggressive treatments and improves the overall quality of life for those diagnosed with breast cancer. It empowers individuals to take control of their breast health, promoting early detection, better treatment outcomes, and ultimately, a higher likelihood of overcoming breast cancer. It can be so tempting to put off your next appointment. At AMERICAN MEDCARE ADVANCED RADIOLOGY, we make it easier than ever to schedule a 3D-MAMMOGRAPHY

Digital X-Ray
​
Obtaining a digital X-ray is a decision rooted in modern healthcare's benefits and efficiency. Firstly, digital X-rays produce high-quality images, enhancing the ability of healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose medical conditions and pinpoint issues within the body. This precision is critical for planning effective treatment strategies. Secondly, digital X-rays use significantly lower radiation doses compared to traditional film X-rays, prioritizing patient safety without compromising diagnostic accuracy. Speed is another advantage, as digital X-rays provide instant results, expediting diagnosis and allowing for quicker medical interventions. Furthermore, the electronic format simplifies record-keeping and information sharing among healthcare providers, fostering seamless communication and coordination for improved patient care. In essence, choosing a digital X-ray ensures a safer, faster, and more streamlined approach to medical imaging, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes.
ULTRASOUND
GENERAL, VASCULAR, CARDIAC
Undergoing general, vascular, or cardiac ultrasound examinations can be crucial for a person's health for various reasons. General ultrasound allows healthcare professionals to visualize and evaluate various organs and tissues in the body, helping diagnose conditions like abdominal pain, liver disease, or kidney problems. Vascular ultrasound is vital for assessing blood flow and detecting issues such as blood clots or arterial blockages, aiding in the prevention of stroke and vascular disease. Cardiac ultrasound, or echocardiography, provides essential information about the heart's structure and function, assisting in the diagnosis of heart conditions like heart valve disease or heart failure. These ultrasound modalities are non-invasive, radiation-free, and often provide real-time imaging, allowing for early detection and precise evaluation of medical conditions, thus guiding appropriate treatment plans and ultimately improving a person's overall health and well-being.
EEG Brain Activity
Cognitive Test
An EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a crucial diagnostic tool used to monitor and record brain activity. It is essential for several reasons. Firstly, an EEG helps diagnose and manage various neurological conditions such as epilepsy, seizures, and sleep disorders by recording electrical patterns in the brain. Secondly, it aids in assessing brain function after head injuries or strokes, guiding treatment and rehabilitation plans. Additionally, EEGs are invaluable in monitoring brain activity during surgeries, ensuring patient safety and guiding surgical interventions. Moreover, they play a pivotal role in research and the study of brain disorders, contributing to advancements in neuroscience and the development of treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Overall, EEGs are instrumental in understanding and managing brain-related issues, enabling better diagnosis, treatment, and research in the field of neurology.
Ankle Brachial Index
The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) serves a crucial purpose in evaluating vascular health. By comparing blood pressure measurements taken at the ankles and arms, ABI helps diagnose and assess the severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a condition characterized by narrowed or blocked arteries, often in the legs, which can lead to reduced blood flow and serious complications. ABI's primary goal is to detect PAD at an early stage, facilitating prompt medical intervention and lifestyle changes to mitigate risks. Additionally, ABI is a valuable tool for assessing overall cardiovascular health, as it can indicate an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. In essence, ABI plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and managing vascular conditions, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes and overall cardiovascular well-being.
