Diagnostic tests available at the clinic.

A pure-tone audiogram assesses hearing ability by measuring sensitivity to sounds at different frequencies and intensities. It is the basic test for detecting and quantifying hearing loss and is fundamental to screening and monitoring hearing problems in adults and children.

A speech audiogram assesses the ability to understand speech by asking the person to repeat words presented at different intensities. It complements the pure-tone audiogram and supports a more complete hearing assessment, helping to evaluate hearing loss and plan hearing rehabilitation.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a 3D imaging examination that provides a detailed view of the teeth, jaw bones and adjacent structures. It is used mainly in dentistry to plan implants, orthodontic treatment and oral surgery, with a controlled radiation dose and highly precise results.

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound examination that shows the heart in real time, assessing the function of the valves, cardiac chambers and blood circulation. It is painless, non-invasive and essential for diagnosing heart conditions such as heart failure, cardiomyopathies and valve abnormalities.

Carotid Doppler ultrasound uses ultrasound to assess blood flow in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. It is a non-invasive examination that supports stroke (AVC) prevention by identifying stenoses and atherosclerotic plaques.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound uses ultrasound to assess blood flow in the main intracranial arteries. It helps identify stenoses, aneurysms and other cerebrovascular changes and is an important tool in preventing and monitoring cerebrovascular disease.

An electrocardiogram records the heart's electrical activity through electrodes placed on the skin. It is a quick, painless examination and is fundamental to detecting arrhythmias, changes in heart rhythm, ischaemia and other cardiovascular conditions.

Spirometry measures the amount and speed of air entering and leaving the lungs. It is fundamental to diagnosing and monitoring respiratory conditions such as asthma, DPOC and chronic bronchitis, allowing lung function to be assessed in a simple, non-invasive way.

A complete hearing assessment combines a set of tests that comprehensively evaluate hearing, including pure-tone and speech audiograms and other complementary examinations. It provides a detailed assessment of hearing and helps identify the cause and degree of any hearing loss.

Holter monitoring continuously records heart rhythm for 24 to 48 hours, recording the heart's electrical activity throughout the day and night. It is particularly useful for detecting intermittent arrhythmias that are not captured by a short electrocardiogram.

MAPA is 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring that records variations throughout the day and night. It is essential for an accurate diagnosis of high blood pressure and for assessing the effectiveness of antihypertensive treatment.

An orthopantomogram, or panoramic X-ray, provides a complete view of the dental arches, jaws and temporomandibular joints in a single image. It is essential for assessing impacted teeth, cysts and bone problems, and for planning orthodontic treatment, implants or oral surgery.

Polysomnography is an examination performed during sleep that records multiple biological parameters, including breathing, heart rate, movement and blood oxygen levels. It is the reference examination for diagnosing sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders.

An exercise stress test assesses how the heart functions during physical activity, performed on a treadmill or exercise bicycle. It monitors heart rate, blood pressure and the electrocardiogram during exercise and is useful for diagnosing coronary disease, assessing chest-pain symptoms and monitoring cardiac training.

An oral X-ray is an imaging examination focused on specific areas of the mouth. It is suitable for detecting cavities, infections, dental fractures and problems in the structures supporting the teeth. It provides a detailed view of one or more teeth and is essential when planning dental treatment.

A stapedial reflex examination assesses the involuntary response of the stapedius muscle to sound stimulation. It helps identify changes in the middle ear and auditory nerve and is used alongside the audiogram for a more detailed hearing assessment.

A cephalometric radiograph is a lateral X-ray of the skull that allows the facial bone structures and the relationship between the maxilla and mandible to be analysed in detail. It is essential in orthodontics for diagnosis, treatment planning and assessment of facial bone growth.

Videolaryngoscopy allows the vocal cords and larynx to be viewed using a video camera. It is indicated for assessing persistent hoarseness, swallowing difficulties, vocal nodules and other throat and voice conditions, with immediate results and without significant discomfort.

Videootoscopy uses a high-resolution camera to view the ear canal and eardrum in detail. It can detect infections, perforations, earwax blockages and other changes, helping to diagnose and monitor conditions of the outer and middle ear.
