Abdominal ultrasound allows for a detailed examination of internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. This painless method helps detect diseases early.
Ultrasound thyroid
Thyroid ultrasound allows us to assess the size, structure, and any changes in the thyroid. This is important for diagnosing thyroid disorders.
Ultrasound of the neck vessels
Ultrasound of the neck vessels is used to examine the blood vessels in the neck area in order to detect narrowing or calcification at an early stage and to reduce the risk of strokes.

Doppler imaging of the arteries allows us to assess blood flow in the arteries and detect narrowing or blockages. This is important for diagnosing circulatory disorders.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart and helps diagnose irregular heart rhythms and other heart conditions.
Long-term ECG
The Holter ECG monitors cardiac activity over 24 hours or longer. This helps detect temporary cardiac arrhythmias that would not be detected on a regular ECG.
Stress ECG
A stress ECG examines cardiac function during physical exertion. This provides information about cardiac performance and helps detect circulatory disorders.
Long-term blood pressure measurement
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring monitors blood pressure over 24 hours and helps diagnose and treat hypertension and blood pressure fluctuations.

The pulmonary function test measures the performance of your lungs and helps in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma or COPD.
