A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan (DXA), or bone density scan, is a special type of X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD). It provides information about bone strength or fragility and the risk of fractures or broken bones. The higher the density, generally, the lower the risk of fracture

The spine and one or both hips are routinely scanned. The forearm might also be scanned if either the hip or spine is unavailable (usually due to surgery). As any condition affecting bone density tends to affect the whole skeleton, a snapshot of a few sites is sufficient to establish the overall bone density. The BMD at the hip and spine has been shown to be the best way of predicting the risk of fracture.

Color Doppler an ultrasound technique to evaluate blood vessels. Using the Doppler principle of changing pitch with velocity, ultrasound waves that reflect from the red blood corpuscles in the arteries and veins are evaluated for velocity using which amplitude and color maps of the vessels can be generated. Color Doppler is very useful in evaluating the carotid arteries in the neck, the heart (echocardiography), the arteries and veins in the abdomen and the arteries and veins in the upper and lower limbs.

Ultrasound scanning/ultrasonography, also referred to as sonography, is a medical diagnostic technique that employs ultrasound imaging for muscle and organ visualization.
A more well-known diagnostic ultrasound variation used in pregnancy is obstetric sonography, operating at an energy frequency range of between 2 and 15 megahertz (MHz). Ultrasonic energy frequency is adjusted depending on the use, with lower frequencies for greater internal imaging capacity

SPECT-CT is where two different types of scans are taken and the images or pictures from each are fused or merged together. The fused scan can provide more precise information about how different parts of the body function and more clearly identify problems such as tumors (lumps) or Alzheimer’s disease, etc.
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT): SPECT images are obtained following an injection of a radiopharmaceutical that is used for nuclear medicine scans. The injected medication sticks to specific areas in the body, depending on what radiopharmaceutical is used and the type of scan being performed, for example. it will show bone for a bone scan, and gall bladder and bile ducts for a hepatobiliary scan.

A catheterization laboratory or cath lab is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment used to visualize the arteries of the heart and the chambers of the heart and treat any stenosis or abnormality found

A device that pulverizes kidney stones by passing shock waves through awater-filled tub in which the patient sits. The procedure creates stonefragments small enough to be expelled in the urine.

A binocular microscope used to obtain good visualization of fine structures in the operating field; in the standing type of microscope, amotorized zoom lens system operated by hand or foot controls provides an adjustable working distance; in head borne models, interchangeable oculars provide the magnification needed.

The machine used to deliver this therapeutic shock to the heart is called a defibrillator.

The Harmonic scalpel is a surgical instrument used to simultaneously cut and cauterize tissue. Unlike a Bovie, the harmonic uses ultrasonic vibrations instead of electric HYPERLINK “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity”currentto cut and cauterize tissue.

The use of electrocautery for coagulation or cauterization, as for sealing a blood vessel, resulting in local tissue destruction

An imaging scanner intensifier, so named because of its configuration. C-arms have radiographic capabilities, though they are usedprimarily for fluoroscopic imaging during surgical, orthopedic, critical care, and emergency care procedures.

A medical ventilator (or simply ventilator in context) is a machine designed to mechanically move breathable air into and out of the lungs, to provide the mechanism of breathing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently
