Cardiology is a specialty dealing with diseases affecting the heart and the circulatory system. Our cardiovascular system is responsible for pumping and circulating blood throughout the whole body.
Diseases affecting the brain, nervous system and spinal cord are usually diagnosed with a neurologic examination. This is not to be confused with a psychiatric examination, which predominantly focuses on a patient's mental state and behavior.
A computerized tomography or CT Scan uses digital imaging system and X-rays to obtain cross-sectional images of the body. This examination can provide clear images of various body structures including bone, blood vessels and soft tissues, all at once.
