At LifeBridge Health, we offer a
wide range of imaging tests and treatments specifically
for women and their unique medical needs. Bone density
scans are used to measure bone mineral content and
density. The DEXA version of bone density scanning is
considered the most accurate test. A bone density test
is painless and non-invasive, it measures the density of
the spine, lower arm and hip.
Hysterosalpingography is an X-ray exam of a woman's
uterus and fallopian tubes. This exam is often used to
examine women who have difficulty becoming pregnant.
Ovarian vein embolization is a minimally invasive
treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome that is used to
close off faulty veins so they can no longer enlarge
with blood. Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally
invasive treatment for fibroid tumors of the uterus.
These benign tumors can cause heavy menstrual bleeding,
pelvic pain and pressure on the bladder or bowel. More
rarely, they can turn cancerous.
