As a network of community-based clinics, Orion Medical providers can perform several services and tests in our offices. For the services we are unable to perform in our offices, we provide coverage at our Surgery Center and to most hospitals in Southeast Houston, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We offer the following tests and diagnostics to keep you better informed about your heart, artery and vein health:
Electrocardiogram (EKG) and Echocardiogram
Measures the heart’s electrical activity to detect arrhythmias or heart damage.
PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography + CT Scan)
PET/CT combines the power of PET imaging with a CT scan to create a precise, 3‑D picture of your heart and blood flow.
SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission CT + CT Scan)
SPECT/CT is a heart‑imaging test that shows how well blood flows to your heart muscle.
PET (Positron Emission Tomography)
PET is a highly advanced imaging test that provides very detailed information about how your heart muscle is working.
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)
Also known as a nuclear stress test – uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer to evaluate the flow of blood to your heart muscle.
Cardiac Catheterization
A minimally invasive test using contrast dye and imaging to show how well your heart and blood vessels are working.
Stress Testing
Evaluates heart function during exercise or medication-induced stress.
Holter Monitoring
If you experience symptoms of heart disease but a standard electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) can’t detect the cause, Holter monitoring could provide the answers.
Advanced Lipid Testing
A blood test that may be recommended to help optimize cholesterol treatment.
Autonomic Function Testing
Conducted to determine if a disease is affecting the autonomic nervous system; includes blood pressure, blood flow, heart rate, skin testing and sweating.
