All of the non-invasive diagnostic tools used at 66 Harley Street are examples of 'state of the art' technology. Brief descriptions of each may be found by clicking on one of the following links:
The HDIÆ3000cv ultrasound system is an example of advanced non-invasive imaging technology. Ultrasound is increasingly used as a first line investigation to eliminate many unnecessary referrals for procedures such as CT, MRI and angiography. In many cases, ultrasound provides an accurate, painless and cost-effective alternative to these procedures.
The HDI 3000 is based on all-digital beamforming architecture and broadband transducers, allowing high-resolution, real-time and dynamic interrogation of any soft-tissue or organ. Anatomy and function can thus be accurately depicted. Precise haemodynamic information is provided by the simultaneous application of spectral (pulsed and continuous wave) and colour Doppler. Colour Power Angio imaging is a new technology which allows sensitive detection of low velocity flows in small and inaccessible vessels. It also provides a valuable adjunct for cardiac wall motion assessment, particularly in overweight or difficult to image patients.
For examples of high resolution ultrasound at work, please review our CASES page.
Colour Duplex Ultrasound
The Marquette Helliage ECG and Treadmill system represents the latest technology in integrated test equipment, offering full programmability in addition to all standard protocols. This system also features full computerised ECG analysis.
Accurate measurement of peripheral Doppler waveforms as well as segmental pressures and pressure ratios can be performed quickly and painlessly using the Hokkansen Total Lab TL400 system. This is a flexible, multi-cuff system offering state of the art CW Doppler for accurate detection of tibial pulses. This system also offers Pneumo (PVR) and Photo Plethysmography and the capability to measure Digital and Penile pressures.
Miniature, solid-state technology provides compact, portable recording equipment for ambulatory monitoring.
Centra Holter (ECG) monitors are available in 24 and 48 hour versions. Seer blood pressure monitors provide highly accurate 24 hour analysis.
