DIAGNOSTICS

The Apollo Sage Hospitals, Bhopal is one of the best diagnostic centres for urology-related issues. Let’s check out what facilities we offer.

• Ultrasound & Doppler Imaging: This noninvasive test is performed by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells to assess the blood flow in the blood vessels.
• Urodynamics: The procedure is done to allow the expert to understand how well the lower urinary tract organs are functioning. These organs include the bladder, sphincters and the urethra. 
• Uroflowmetry: Basically, the test measures the volume of urine released from the body, the speed with which it is released, and how long the release takes.
• Cystometry: The test is done to check for problems with the filling and emptying of the bladder. It measures the amount of urine in the bladder which is then compared with the bladder pressure and how full the patient feels the bladder is.
• Urologic Radiology: Urologic Radiology includes several ways to carefully look inside organs like the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and reproductive organs. Retrograde Urethrogram &Micturating Cystogram (RGU and MCU) are specialized examinations of the urinary tract. While RGU is performed on male patients with trauma (injury) to the urethra to detect any structural abnormalities MCU checks if the urine is flowing backwards from the bladder up towards the kidneys.
• Ultra-Miniaturized Endoscopes: These are specially designed to carry out stone removal procedures in children or paediatric patients. These are fit for children who have smaller kidneys and narrower ureters compared to adults. The ultra-miniaturized instruments and endoscopes reduce the damage to normal tissues and help them get back to normal routines within no time.
