Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective medical care. At Metroplex Medical Centres we provide comprehensive on-site testing at our Dallas-Fort Worth locations. By performing these tests in-house, we ensure faster results, lower costs and a more seamless experience for our patients. We use the latest technology to look inside the body without invasive procedures.

Diagnostic Imaging

• Ultrasound: We use high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the body.
  • Abdominal organs such as the liver, gallbladder and kidneys.
  • Vascular health to check for blood clots or blockages.
  • Thyroid nodules and soft tissue abnormalities.
• X-ray: Immediate imaging for detecting bone fractures, joint issues or respiratory infections like pneumonia.
• Mammogram: A low-dose x-ray imaging of breast tissue used to screen for or detect abnormalities such as tumors or calcifications.
• Retinal eye exam: Checks the blood vessels and retina in the back of the eye to look for diabetes-related damage before vision problems develop.
• Computed Tomography (CT) scan: Imaging test that uses detailed x-rays of the body to evaluate organs, bones or blood vessels to diagnose pain, illness or injury.

Cardiac Care

• Electrocardiogram (EKG): A quick test that records the electrical signal from your heart to check for different heart conditions.
• Echocardiogram: This is an ultrasound that shows real-time moving pictures of the heart’s size, muscle function and valves.

Respiratory & Preventive Tools

• Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): Using spirometry to measure lung volume and airflow, which is critical for managing asthma and COPD.
• Pulse Oximeters: Measure blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
• Annual Wellness Screenings: Integrating these diagnostic tools into your yearly physical to catch potential issues like high blood pressure or high cholesterol before they become serious.
• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): Tests circulation in the legs by comparing blood pressure in the ankle and arm to screen for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and reduced blood flow.

Most primary care offices send you elsewhere for blood work or imaging. At Metroplex Medical Centres, we do it differently:

• No Extra Trips: Get your exam, blood work and imaging done in one visit.
• Coordinated Analysis: Your doctor reviews your results directly, ensuring nothing is lost in translation between facilities.
• Faster Answers: Many of our tests provide results within the same day, allowing for immediate treatment.
