Endoscopy

Stomach and intestinal issues can be hard to pinpoint. That’s why Med Center Health uses the latest technology to diagnose stomach and intestine problems and accurately treat them.

Using technology to speed diagnosis

Endoscopy procedures are used to diagnose symptoms such as abdominal pain, problems swallowing, heartburn, esophagitis, chronic diarrhea, ulcers, tumors, intestinal bleeding, colon cancer, polyps, colitis, bleeding lesions, anemia and others.

Tiny cameras, positioned on medical instruments, allow doctors to view inside a patient’s body and check for tumors, polyps or other problems. Electromagnetic Navigation BronchoscopyTM and Ultrasound Bronchoscopy allow doctors to view lung areas and take a tissue sample biopsy to check for malignancy.

For patients with chronic indigestion or nausea after eating, the Esophageal Manometry test can determine if the muscles in your esophagus are operating properly.

When your doctor prescribes diagnostic treatment, you can rely on Med Center Health for the latest technology and expert staff caring for your needs.
