Specialized Testing
 The
Greenbrier Clinic offers a wide variety of specialized testing.
The clinic’s fully accredited laboratory
conducts a nearly unlimited number of test procedures with modern,
highly
accurate
instrumentation. The laboratory also saves valuable time for physicians
and patients: 98% of all procedures ordered are performed on the
premises, and 95% are reported on the day they are ordered. Specialized
prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing is available as part of
a
prostate cancer screening protocol.
 The
radiology department, under the supervision of our board-certified
radiologist, provides diagnostic x-ray, ultrasound, and gastrointestinal
fluoroscopy examinations. Mammography is offered, as well as the
latest dual energy bone densitometry technology to evaluate patients
for osteoporosis. Our mammography unit is certified by the American
College of Radiology.
 Cardiology
services include the high-resolution electron beam tomography
(EBT) scan, utilized to assess coronary
artery calcification. The
clinic’s Noninvasive Cardiovascular Imaging Laboratory is
fully accredited by the Intersociety Commission for the Accreditation
of
Vascular and Echocardiographic Laboratories. Services include nuclear
stress testing, echocardiography, Doppler echocardiography, stress
echocardiography, extracranial carotid artery imaging, Holter monitoring,
segmental blood pressure studies and ambulatory blood pressure
monitoring. These services are supervised and interpreted by our
physician staff,
under the direction of our board-certified cardiologist.
Advanced lipid studies are available (Berkeley Heart Lab) and
extensive counseling is offered for management of lipid disorders.
 Gastrointestinal services include colonoscopy and upper endoscopy
(evaluation of esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine)
for cancer screening purposes and symptom assessment. In addition,
polyps (potentially cancerous intestinal growths) are removed
and
other
therapeutic procedures such as esophageal dilation, are performed
by our board-certified gastroenterologist. |
