Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) is a procedure to assess and diagnose conditions of the bowel such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, constipation, bloating, Crohn’s Disease, Diverticulitis and Ulcerative Colitis. It is performed by Gastroenterologists with specialised training in ultrasound technique.

FibroScan® is a non-invasive procedure, that estimates the degree of fibrosis (scarring) and fatty changes in the liver.

Fibroscan aids in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of liver disease and damge, and allows for early detection of disease that may not be present on routine blood tests.

Anorectal Manometry (ARM) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the function of the muscles and nerves in the rectum and anus by measuring the muscle contractions to check if they are functioning correctly.

The Urea Breath Test (UBT) checks for the presence of Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) in the stomach. H.Pylori is a bacterial infection that causes inflammation in the stomach and can lead to stomach ulcers, gastritis and gastric cancer.

Capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a capsule carrying a camera, which travels naturally through the digestive tract, allowing imaging of the small bowel, which is not accessible through regular gastroscopy or colonoscopy.
