CT Scan, Screening for Early Lung Cancer Detection

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in this country, killing more than 161,000 people per year. 

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)

Ductogram / Ductography

Ductography is a form of mammography where a contrast agent is injected into the milk duct of the breast. This allows a radiologist to examine abnormalities or signs of cancer in the milk duct.

Endobronchial Ultrasound Biopsy (EBUS)

To determine the stage of lung cancers a minimally invasive tool called Endobronchial Ultrasound Biopsy (EBUS) or endobronchial ultrasound.

Endoscopic Ultrasound

Endoscopic ultrasound is most commonly used to diagnose and stage cancers.

Intravenous Pyelogram

Intravenous Pyelogram, an X-ray of the bladder, is taken by injecting dye into the blood stream which then collects in the urine and is detectable during the X-ray.

Laboratory Studies

MemorialCare’s laboratory services provide comprehensive and dependable diagnostic tests (including COVID testing). Our board-certified pathologists are available to assist physicians in a variety of studies.

Mammograms / Digital Mammograms

Tumor Markers

A blood test to measure the levels of protein called tumor markers can help detect types of cancer.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to produce exceptionally high-quality moving images of the fetus, heart, abdominal organs and other soft tissues of the body. It can also be used for scanning other organs such as the liver, kidneys, uterus and ovaries.
