An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even during asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording. The main use of an EEG is to detect and investigate epilepsy, a condition that causes repeated seizures. An EEG will help your doctor identify the type of epilepsy you have, what may be triggering your seizures and how best to treat you. Less often, an EEG may be used to investigate other problems, such as: dementia.

MRI is the latest edition in Chughtai Lab’s radiology department. The machine provides the best quality images of the brain, spine, all joints, and organs within minutes without requiring the patient to lie in the scanner for a long time. The MRI machine does not use radiations, so it is very safe for children and pregnant women. The immediate detection of brain stroke within an hour of onset and diagnosis of breast cancer is also possible through the MRI.

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyography to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyography detects the electric potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated. The signals can be analyzed to detect abnormalities, activation level, or recruitment order, or to analyze the biomechanics of human or animal movement. Needle EMG is an electro diagnostic medicine technique commonly used by neurologists. Surface EMG is a non-medical procedure used to assess muscle activation by several professionals, including physiotherapists, kinesiologists and biomedical engineers. A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a medical diagnostic test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body

Ultra Helical CT Scanner is unique in providing high-quality imaging in shorter scan time. Our CT Scan facility can provide maximum diagnostic capabilities and enhanced patient safety because it uses minimum dose of radiation and contrast.

Chughtai Lab offers a DEXA scan, which is a high-precision X-ray that measures your bone mineral density and bone loss. A DEXA scan tends to be more accurate than a typical x-ray, because it can detect even small changes in bone loss. Doctors consider it more reliable than other methods of calculating body fat percentage.

DEXA scan can help:

• Assess bone strength
• Detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs
• Measure total body fat
• Predict your chances of fractures in the future (FRAX report)
• Track the progress of your treatment

At Chughtai Lab we are offering a diagnostic Breast Cancer Screening service using the latest mammographic technology.

A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray that allows doctors to look for changes in the breast tissue. It can be used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease to detect cancer early – when it is most treatable.  A Mammography screening:

• Reduces the risk of death due to breast cancer
• Improves a physician’s ability to detect small tumors
• Leaves no radiation in the patient’s body
• Has no side effects

Chughtai Lab houses the best ultrasound facility at its radiology department. Our ultrasound facility can help in the examination of the following:

• General abdomen and pelvis
• Obstetric/pregnancy ultrasound examinations
• Gynaecology/Endovaginal ultrasound
• Urological ultrasound/Prostate
• Doppler studies for blood vessels
• Erectile dysfunction/penile doppler ultrasound
• Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound
• Biopsies/Aspirations/Drainage Procedures

Digital X-ray facility at Chughtai Lab saves time by allowing the imaging to bypass chemical processing and through the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images.

We are also doing all kinds of digital radiography and radiological procedures like IVP and barium studies.

The Cardioline ETT machine is available at Chughtai Lab. An Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) can be useful for identifying early signs of coronary artery disease. It is most useful in patients who experience chest pain when they exert themselves.

We have expert cardiologists and technical staff at the facility to monitor the accuracy and results of the test.

An Echocardiograph allows the doctor to monitor the functioning of the heart and its valves. The images can also help them spot blood clots in the heart.

Chughtai Lab has an excellent echocardiograph facility monitored by expert cardiologists for:

• Echocardiography
• Carotid Doppler
• ECG reporting

An open MRI is configured mostly for patient comfort. It looks more like a donut, with magnets above and below the patient and wide open sides. Open MRI is ideal for patients who struggle with anxiety, obesity and children who need a parent present throughout the exam.
