Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is the first step in effective treatment. At Felix Hospital, our state-of-the-art Center for Gastroenterology is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to identify conditions early and offer timely gastroenterology procedures and treatments. 

We offer diagnostic procedures, such as:

• Endoscopy: It is a technique where gastroenterologists look inside your body with the help of an endoscope. Sometimes, via endoscopy they can also take a tissue sample and perform minor interventions, such as relieve blockages, stop bleeding, and remove tumors.

• Upper GI endoscopy: It is the examination of the upper GI tract from the throat down through the stomach and upper small intestine.

• Colonoscopy: It is an examination of the lower GI tract.

• Endoscopic ultrasound: It is the upper and lower GI endoscopy with an ultrasound wand attached. It helps visualize the biliary system.

• Capsule Endoscopy: Non-invasive imaging of the small intestine.
  Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): It is an upper endoscopy that extends into the bile ducts and takes fluoroscopic X-rays of the biliary system, and performs interventions if required.

• Barium Swallow: An imaging test that identifies issues in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Fluoroscopy, a special X-ray test, is used in this diagnostic procedure.

• pH Monitoring: Diagnosis of acid reflux and related conditions.

• Imaging tests: Techniques like CT, MRI, and ultrasound scans are performed to visualize internal organs and tissues.

• FibroScan: A non-invasive ultrasound technology that measures liver stiffness and fatty changes in your liver.

• Biopsy: A procedure in which a small tissue from the digestive tract is examined to confirm the presence of cancer, peptic ulcers, hepatitis, endometriosis, and other infections.
