EGD (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy)

EGD is a procedure used to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. It's instrumental in diagnosing conditions such as ulcers, gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Learn more.

ERCP is a specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat disorders of the bile and pancreatic ducts. It combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to provide detailed images and perform interventions.

Ileoscopy is used to visualize the ileum, the last part of the small intestine. It's particularly valuable in diagnosing Crohn's disease and other gastrointestinal disorders.

Sigmoidoscopy allows for the examination of the lower part of the colon and rectum. It's useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as polyps and colorectal cancer.

Virtual Colonoscopy

Virtual colonoscopy, or CT colonography, is a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy. It provides detailed images of the colon and is an option for some patients.
