- What to Expect?Your health care team tells you how to prepare ahead of time and what to expect afterward. Cardiac catheterization with angiography is a minimally invasive procedure. That means your surgeon makes a cut to insert the catheter, but it's very small and heals quickly.You'll get medicine to make you sleepy when we start the test, and you won't feel any pain. Your surgeon makes a small incision in your groin or arm where we insert the catheter.We thread it through your blood vessels until it reaches the arteries in your heart. Next, we inject contrast dye into the catheter and take x-rays as the dye moves through your blood vessels.The angiogram takes about an hour, but it might take longer if your surgeon performs other procedures to open blocked arteries. After the test, you go to the recovery room. You might go home the same day, or we may keep you overnight.ScreeningConditions/Services/Treatments PageCardiac imaging tests allow your doctor to get a clear picture of your heart and blood vessels. This allows us to see how your heart is working.Our heart specialists use the most advanced cardiac imaging technology to monitor, diagnose, and treat you. Here's an overview of a common cardiac imaging test.Angiography and Cardiac CatheterizationAngiography (or cardiac angiogram) is a type of x-ray. It allows your doctor to look at your heart's blood vessels with the help of a special dye that highlights your blood vessels. The dye shows if there are any blockages that can restrict blood flow to your heart.Angiography is done during cardiac catheterization. That's when your doctor places a thin tube called a catheter into your blood vessel. We inject the dye into the catheter so we can get a better picture of your blood vessels on the x-ray.Once the cardiac catheter is in place, your surgeon can also do various procedures to open blocked arteries.Who gets angiography?We might recommend angiography if we think you have plaque buildup in an artery. It also helps us diagnose problems with your blood vessels or heart valves.0

Your provider might order an ultrasound to see if you have a kidney stone or to check if you have an inflamed gallbladder.What Is an Ultrasound?Ultrasound is an imaging technology that uses sound waves. An ultrasound wand sends out safe, high-frequency sound waves (too high for the ear to hear). The sound waves bounce back at different speeds, based on the type and location of tissues they hit.The ultrasound wand captures those slightly changed sound waves as they return. Then a computer analyzes those sound waves to create a moving image.We use ultrasounds to assess blood flow, view internal organs and examine parts of the body. Common places ultrasounds look at are the abdomen, breasts, thyroid and prostate. Because the sound waves don't break through very far, ultrasounds don't offer the best view of bones or structures hidden behind a lot of soft tissue. This is why doctors only recommend ultrasound for certain reasons.Sometimes doctors try ultrasound first and then suggest another test if it doesn't help diagnose the problem.0
- SpecialtyDigestive symptoms, such as nausea, abdominal pain and weight loss, can happen for many reasons. A gastroenterologist's job is to figure out what is going on and to bring relief. Gastroenterologists also make sure your digestive system is functioning well, supplying you with the nutrients you need., Why Luminis Health At Luminis Health, we pride ourselves in caring for patients close to their homes. We treat problems that occur in any part of the digestive system (biology class refresher: that includes the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, liver and intestines). Gastroenterologists conduct colon cancer screenings and also diagnose and treat a number of conditions. They even have a fancy scope to see right into the digestive system. (Pretty cool, right?) We go beyond that, providing treatments that aren't available in all hospitals. We're one of a select number of centers in the state to offer interventional gastroenterology, which means we diagnose and treat conditions using tiny instruments the doctor sends down the esophagus through a specialized tube. This technique avoids the risks of surgery and cutting through the skin, so patients recover faster. If we find a problem that requires surgery or cancer care, we work closely with our colleagues in these fields. This ensures that patients get the best, most appropriate care right away., When Should You See a Gastroenterologist? The American Cancer Society recommends that all Americans get screened for colon cancer every 10 years, starting at age 45. While colonoscopies aren't "fun," they're not painful — and they usually take only 30 minutes or so. The best part is they allow your gastroenterologist to find growths that could turn into cancer and remove them before that happens. (Bye, bye, precancerous growths!) Another reason to see a gastroenterologist is if you have symptoms of a digestive-system condition. Your doctor may refer you or you can call us directly. Signs of a digestive disorder include: Abdominal pain. Unexplained weight loss. Bleeding in the stool or from the rectum. Low iron levels. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin, which indicates a liver problem). Diarrhea. Acid reflux (heartburn). Pain as food moves down the esophagus. A sensation of food getting 'stuck' in the esophagus. Vomiting., Conditions We Care for at Luminis Health Gastroenterology At Luminis Health, our gastroenterology team can both diagnose and treat a wide range of digestive-health problems. (One-stop care, close to home. Pretty great, right?) We care for patients with the following conditions: Stones in the bile ducts Infections in the pancreas or bile ducts Non-cancerous growths and cysts in various parts of the digestive system Cancers, including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and colon cancer Ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Gallstones Liver disease Chronic hepatitis C, Tests and Treatments We Offer At Luminis Health, we offer common and routine procedures as well as advanced technologies. This means we can diagnose patients quickly. (We know that digestive symptoms can be unpleasant, to say the least!) As a growing hospital network, we are attracting more doctors with expertise in innovative treatments that weren't available even a few years ago. That's good news — advances in treatment mean patients experience improved health with fewer side effects. Here are some of the tests and treatments we offer at Luminis Heath Gastroenterology: Colonoscopy, to screen for cancer or look for problems in the colon. Advanced Endoscopy : minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, including complex issues affecting the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, liver and intestines. Upper endoscopy , in which the surgeon inserts a very thin, flexible tube down the throat. The tube has a camera on it to show the esophagus, stomach and more. Don't worry — this test isn't painful. Medication management for a range of digestive-system problems. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP, for short). This is an advanced procedure where the doctor inserts a dye into the pancreatic or bile ducts. Combined with x-ray technology, it allows the doctor to see any blockage, tumor or infection in the liver, gallbladder or pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasound, which uses the same technology as a normal ultrasound but shows the digestive system in much more detail. Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) , a new technology to connect different parts of the digestive system. This can be helpful in draining an infection in the pancreas, for example. Other imaging tests , including MRI.0
