Orthopantomogram which is commonly known as OPG is a common radiograph used to identify the hard tissues and teeth structure of the oral cavity and surrounding skeletal structures. It is an extra-oral radiograph that approximates the focal trough of the mandible.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It helps diagnose heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions by analyzing the heart's electrical signals. ECG is essential for monitoring heart health, especially in individuals with chest pain, palpitations, or high blood pressure.

A Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test measures how fast electrical signals travel through a nerve. It is used to diagnose nerve damage, neuropathies, and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathy. NCV helps detect nerve function abnormalities that may result from diabetes, injuries, or neurological disorders.

A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) measures lung capacity, airflow, and overall respiratory health. It helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases. PFT is useful for assessing lung function in individuals with breathing difficulties or those exposed to environmental pollutants.

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test that measures muscle response to nerve stimulation. It helps evaluate nerve and muscle function, identifying neuromuscular disorders such as muscle weakness, nerve damage, or conditions like ALS and myasthenia gravis. EMG is commonly used to diagnose unexplained muscle pain, numbness, or weakness.

An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive test that records electrical activity in the brain. It is used to diagnose neurological conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and other brain-related abnormalities. EEG helps detect abnormal brain wave patterns that may indicate seizures or cognitive issues.

A Holter Monitor test is a continuous 24 to 48-hour ECG monitoring that records the heart's electrical activity to detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not appear in a standard ECG. It is used to diagnose palpitations, unexplained dizziness, and heart-related issues that occur intermittently throughout the day.

An X-ray is a non-invasive imaging test that uses radiation to capture images of bones, organs, and tissues. It is commonly used to detect fractures, infections, lung diseases, and other internal abnormalities. X-rays help in diagnosing bone injuries, lung conditions, and digestive system issues.

A Sleep Study, or Polysomnography, is a diagnostic test that monitors sleep patterns, breathing, brain activity, and muscle movements to detect sleep disorders. It is primarily used to diagnose conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy. A home sleep study is a simplified version of a lab-based test and is convenient for detecting sleep-related breathing disorders.
