Diagnosis

Diagnostic imaging studies and medical tests are essential tools for detecting, evaluating and monitoring various health conditions. Below we explain what each one consists of:

📌 X-rays
X-rays are a type of X-ray that allows internal images of the body to be obtained, using electromagnetic radiation to pass through tissues and capture structures such as bones and organs.

✅ Common uses:

Diagnosing bone fractures and dislocations.
Detecting lung infections (such as pneumonia).
Evaluating joint problems and bone diseases (such as arthritis).
📌 Fast and effective: Results can be obtained in minutes.

📌 Ultrasound
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of organs and soft tissues in the body.

✅ Common uses:

Pregnancy control and monitoring.
Evaluating internal organs (liver, kidneys, bladder, pancreas).
Diagnosing conditions such as gallstones or kidney stones.
Cardiovascular studies (echocardiogram).
📌 Safe and radiation-free: Ideal for pregnant women and children.

📌 Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
The Electrocardiogram is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, helping to detect heart problems and evaluate the function of the heart muscle.

✅ Common uses:

Diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms).
Detection of signs of heart attack or coronary heart disease.
Monitoring heart function in patients with hypertension or cardiovascular disease.
📌 Fast and noninvasive: It is performed in a few minutes and without discomfort.

Conclusion
These three diagnostic studies X-rays, Ultrasound and Electrocardiogram are essential in modern medicine, allowing early detection, accurate diagnosis and continuous monitoring of various health conditions.
