Each card explains the purpose of the examination, common indications and useful information before your visit.
X-ray imaging can quickly identify a fracture, bone abnormality or certain chest conditions. It is a simple, painless and generally very quick examination.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to observe organs and tissues in motion. It is particularly useful for investigating pain, lumps or certain abnormalities.
Cone Beam provides an extremely precise three-dimensional view of the dental and maxillofacial region, offering detailed information when a conventional X-ray is not sufficient.
Imaging allows the doctor to visualise the treatment area precisely and guide the procedure accurately. This targeted approach is used for certain injections and biopsies.
CT produces highly detailed images in just a few seconds. It can examine many areas of the body and quickly provide the information needed for diagnosis.
MRI provides highly detailed analysis of tissues and organs, including the brain, spine, joints and muscles. It does not use X-rays.
Mammography can detect breast abnormalities, sometimes before symptoms appear. It plays an essential role in screening and diagnosis.
This examination measures bone density and helps identify bone fragility. It is used in particular to screen for and monitor osteoporosis.
To make your visit easier, please bring your Carte Vitale, prescription, previous examinations and, if required, proof of healthcare coverage.
