Colonoscopy is used to examine the interior of the colon for abnormalities or diseases.

An ECG monitors the electrical activity of the heart to assess its function and detect abnormalities.

Pap smear tests are used to screen for cervical cancer by detecting abnormal cervical cells.

EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles to diagnose neuromuscular disorders.

Hysteroscopy is a procedure to visualize and diagnose conditions affecting the uterus.

Mammograms are X-ray images used to screen for breast cancer by detecting abnormalities in breast tissue.

MRI is not commonly used for assessing bone density; methods like DEXA scan are preferred.

PET scans use radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic processes in the body.

Cardiac catheterization is used to assess heart function, blood flow, and diagnose heart conditions.

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to create images of internal structures like organs and soft tissues.

CTA uses X-rays and contrast dye to produce detailed images of blood vessels throughout the body.

A bone scan uses a radioactive tracer to detect abnormalities in bone metabolism, such as fractures or tumors.
