Our state-of-the-art diagnostic services, including pulmonary function tests, EKGs, X-rays, and blood work, enable our skilled physicians to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical issues effectively.
Why are Diagnostic Services Performed?
Diagnostic services are performed to:
- Identify Health Issues Early: Detecting potential health problems before they become serious.

How are Diagnostic Services Performed?
At Metroplex Medical Centres, our diagnostic services are performed with precision and care. Here’s an overview of the on-site diagnostic testing we offer:
- Pulmonary Function Tests: Assessing your overall lung health by measuring how well your lungs work. This includes tests like spirometry, which measures the amount and speed of air you can inhale and exhale.
- Cardiac Testing: Diagnostic tests to evaluate heart health, including stress tests and EKGs (Echocardiogram). EKGs help diagnose possible heart conditions by recording the electrical activity of your heart. This non-invasive test provides valuable information about heart rhythm, electrical activity, and overall heart health.
- Radiology Services: Advanced imaging capabilities, including X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, to aid in the diagnosis of medical conditions through precise imaging to detect issues such as fractures, infections, or abnormalities in bones and soft tissues. Our advanced radiology services ensure high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure.
- On-Site Lab Work: Convenient access to laboratory services for blood tests, urinalysis, and other diagnostic screenings to diagnose a variety of conditions, from infections to chronic diseases, and help monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
- Sonography (Ultrasound): Non-invasive imaging to assess internal organs and structures.
