Cytology / Histology
These are tests that examine cell/tissue structure to diagnose malignancies. The Cytological analysis involves processing and microscopic examination of specimens obtained from Fine Needle Aspirates (FNA) and fluid aspirates.
The Histological analysis involves the processing and microscopic examination of tissues obtained from open surgical procedures or core biopsy. In addition to standard microscopy, we perform special tests, including receptor testing (e.g. estrogen and Herceptin receptors for breast cancer). PAP smear test analyses are also performed.
Toxicology
A Toxicology test is performed to look for traces of illegal substances in a person’s system. It can be used to evaluate a person’s drug addiction or intoxication or to screen for drug abuse.
Toxicology tests are easy and quick to be done. These are usually performed with the help of a urine or blood sample. Also, samples of saliva or hair are sometimes used. The tests available in our medical lab are:
- Urine Toxicology Screen: Cocaine, methamphetamines, cannabinoids, amphetamines, and Morphine
- Blood Toxicology Screen: Alcohol, Salicilates, Paracetamol.
Screening Packages
At the Da Vinci Health Clinic, we focus on your overall health. That’s why we develop screening packages, so you can start preventing diseases before they become serious.
Depending on your age, gender, and risk factors, there is a group of tests we would like to perform to exclude or diagnose a health problem.
Some of our screening packages include:
- Well-man Screening
- Well-woman Screening
- Cancer Screening
- Child Screening
- Pre-employment Screening
- Occupational Health Screening
