4D ultrasound Scanning
A 3D/4D ultrasound scan focuses on your baby's face and facial features. It is not a diagnostic scan and therefore does not include measurements of fetal growth or weight. The success of the scan depends on the fetal position and gestation. Care will be taken to ensure that optimum images are obtained. A DVD and CD with Jpeg still images and some thermal images will be presented to you at the end of the scan.
Expectant mothers may be anxious about the presence of birth defects and health condition of their unborn babies. Ultrasound is a worldwide recognized procedure imperative in achieving optimum health for mothers-to-be and their babies. A technique used to visualize a fetus in its mother’s womb, ultrasound provides an Obstetrician with valuable details, including determining the stage of pregnancy, the level of development of the fetus, and the presence of birth defects and disabilities. It helps evaluate and prepare for a twin birth as well as follow up the treatment of certain fetal abnormalities.
Benefiting from advanced technologies, 3D and 4D ultrasound scans are applied, in conjunction with 2d ultrasound, in examining the condition of the fetus.
The Advantages of 3D and 4D Ultrasound
2D ultrasound has been used for over 45 years while 3D/4D ultrasound is the latest technology of the past 15 years. Both methods are safe due to the application of sound waves, as opposed to radiation. Nowadays, 3D/4D scan is performed in conjunction with 2D ultrasound, which consequently increases the effectiveness of the examination and diagnosis of the fetus. In the near future, it is hoped that technological development will overcome all the limitations of 3D and 4D ultrasound in order for obstetricians to be able to provide better healthcare for their patients. The better this technology becomes, the stronger and more enjoyable will the bonding experience become between mother and her unborn child.
Radiology (X-rays)
Plain radiography or X-ray is the original and most commonly used form of diagnostic imaging. It uses small amounts of radiation that are passed through a selected part of the body to produce an image on film. Plain radiography is commonly used in the evaluation of the chest and musculoskeletal system along with the gastrointestinal and urinary systems.
X-ray Department
Our X-ray department contains a digital plain film room, which also has specialized equipment for spine scoliosis imaging. The department serves outpatients and patients referred from General Practitioners. Our staff is experienced in the imaging of adults and children. X-ray rooms use the latest CR digital detectors providing superior quality images almost instantly. Gone are the days of leaving the patient whilst images are being processed on x-ray films.

Audiometric Test
Typically, audiometric tests determine a subject's hearing levels with the help of an audiometer, but may also measure ability to discriminate between different sound intensities, recognize pitch, or distinguish speech from background noise. Acoustic reflex and otoacoustic emissions may also be measured.
Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary Function testing measures the function of lung capacity and lung and chest wall mechanics to determine whether or not the patient has a lung problem. Pulmonary Function Tests are commonly referred to as "PFTs".
Pulmonary Function Tests are used for the following reasons:
1 . Screening for the presence of obstructive and restrictive diseases
2. Evaluating the patient prior to surgery - this is especially true of patients who:
a. are older than 60-65 years of age
b. are known to have pulmonary disease
c. are obese (as in pathologically obese)
d. have a history of smoking, cough or wheezing
e. will be under anesthesia for a lengthy period of time
f. are undergoing an abdominal or a thoracic operation
