Cardiology
The heart can be thoroughly evaluated with a variety of tests. At Medical Centre, the choice of these tests is tailored to symptoms and risk factors, always with comfort and safety in mind. A consultation offers clarity when it is uncertain whether further examination is needed.


Anamnesis
During the medical history, the doctor asks specific questions about your symptoms, medical history, medication use and any disorders in your family. In this way, a complete picture of your health emerges, allowing follow-up examinations and treatments to be more targeted.

Clinical research
The clinical examination is a physical examination in which the doctor uses standard medical techniques such as inspection, auscultation (listening), palpation (feeling) and percussion (tapping). This helps detect abnormalities and gives the doctor a good idea of your general health.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. This simple and painless test allows detection of cardiac arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities. In addition, the ECG helps detect other heart problems, such as oxygen deprivation or scarring after a heart attack.

Holter monitoring
During a Holter examination, you wear a small device that continuously records your heart rhythm for 24 to 48 hours. This can detect cardiac arrhythmias that may not be visible on a standard ECG. This method gives an accurate picture of heart activity during daily activities.

Cycling test
The cycling test, also called exercise test, assesses how your heart functions during gradual physical exertion. This includes measuring heart rhythm, blood pressure and any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. In this way, oxygen deficiency and cardiac arrhythmias that occur during exercise can be detected.

Echocardiography
With echocardiography, we image the heart using sound waves. This allows accurate assessment of the heart muscle, valves and pumping function. This technique is essential for detecting structural heart problems and monitoring the effect of treatments.

Blood pressure monitoring
With 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, you wear a wearable device that automatically records your blood pressure throughout the day and night. This provides an accurate picture of your blood pressure in everyday life, allowing better assessment of whether and what treatment is needed.

Lab tests
Blood and urine tests offer important insights into your general health. These include examining kidney function, cholesterol, blood sugar levels, thyroid function, inflammation levels and hormone levels. This information helps detect abnormalities early and initiate appropriate treatment.

Gastroenterology
At Medical Centre, a variety of investigations are carried out to detect gastrointestinal disorders. Depending on complaints and risk factors, a tailor-made approach is chosen, with attention to comfort and safety. For complaints such as abdominal pain, reflux, diarrhoea or blood in the stool, gastroenterologists can provide the right investigations and treatments.


Anamnesis
During the intake interview, the doctor asks specific questions about complaints, medical history, current medication use and any hereditary conditions. In this way, a complete picture of the health situation emerges, enabling further diagnostics to be targeted.

Clinical research
During the consultation, the doctor performs a physical examination that identifies the general condition and any peculiarities. Based on these findings, it is determined what additional investigations are needed.

Lab tests
Through blood and urine samples, we gain insight into various parameters such as liver function, inflammation levels, blood count, sugar levels, thyroid function and - if necessary - hormones or specific antibodies. This helps to detect underlying disorders early.
Echo Abdomen
With an abdominal ultrasound, we image the organs in the abdominal cavity, including the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, bladder, spleen and pancreas. This can detect abnormalities such as cysts, stones or inflammation.

Coloscopy
During a colonoscopy, the doctor examines the entire course of the colon, and sometimes the last part of the small intestine, using an endoscope. This allows early detection of abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation or bleeding and treatment if necessary.

Gastroscopy
With a gastroscopy, the doctor examines the oesophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine with a thin flexible camera. This examination is suitable for complaints such as reflux, stomach pain or nausea. If necessary, tissue samples can be taken directly, for example to diagnose celiac disease or a Helicobacter pylori infection.

Gynaecology
Gynaecological care within Medical Centre includes advice, examination and treatment of a variety of complaints, including menstrual problems, contraception, STDs, fertility questions and menopausal complaints. Care is tailored to the individual situation, with an emphasis on comfort and safety. If necessary, additional examinations, such as a smear test or ultrasound, are carried out during the consultation. Here, the gynaecologists offer expert guidance with both professional and personal attention.

The NKO doctor examines nose, throat and ears by inspection, palpation and auscultation. This is usually supplemented by functional tests, such as the throat reflex test or the nasal breathing test. The examination aims to identify structural and functional abnormalities.

Audiometry
In this hearing test, we objectively chart how well you perceive sounds of different pitches and volumes. During the test, you listen to tones at various frequencies through headphones. This way, hearing loss, tinnitus or other hearing problems can be accurately diagnosed.

Tympanometry
Tympanometry is an examination that measures eardrum mobility and pressure in the middle ear. It helps detect recurrent ear infections, fluid behind the eardrum or hearing loss.

Scopies
Using a flexible or rigid endoscope, the NKO doctor examines the inside of the nose, throat and vocal cords. This examination helps detect, for example, nasal polyps, voice problems or structural abnormalities. It is usually brief and done under local anaesthetic.

Urology
Urologists at Medical Centre treat complaints of urinary tract and sexual organs, such as prostate problems, kidney stones and erectile dysfunction. Targeted investigations, including ultrasound or blood tests, may take place during the consultation. Preventive screenings, such as a prostate check-up from the age of 45, are also part of the offer. Care always follows a personalised approach, from advice to treatment.


Anamnesis
During the initial consultation, the doctor will discuss your symptoms, medical history, medication use and any family conditions. This creates a complete picture of your health, which can be used to determine the most appropriate examination.

Clinical research
The doctor conducts a physical examination and combines it with a focused questioning. This helps to detect possible abnormalities quickly and make a correct diagnosis.

Laboratory research
Blood and urine samples provide insight into important values such as kidney function, electrolytes, inflammatory markers, PSA (prostate marker) and hormonal balance. This gives us crucial information for diagnosis and follow-up treatment.

Ultrasounds
With ultrasound, organs such as the bladder, kidneys, prostate and testicles are imaged. The examination is painless and safe and helps detect kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction or prostate enlargement, for example.

Uroflow
In uroflowmetry, a device records the speed and force of the urine stream. This simple and painless examination provides insight into possible obstructions or impaired bladder function.

Pneumology
At Medical Centre, pneumologists specialise in treating lung and respiratory diseases. During the consultation, complaints such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, asthma, bronchitis or sleep apnoea are examined. For accurate diagnosis and treatment, additional investigations, such as a lung function test or imaging, may be performed.


Anamnesis
During the medical history, the doctor will discuss your respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing or fatigue. Medical history, smoking habits, allergies and family history are also discussed. This creates a complete picture of your lung health, which can be used to plan targeted follow-up examinations or treatment.

Clinical research
The physical examination gives the pulmonologist insight into possible respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD or infections. The doctor listens to your lungs, examines your breathing and assesses your general health. This allows a quick determination of whether additional tests are needed to make an accurate diagnosis.

Pulmonary function tests
Lung function tests provide insight into how well your lungs are working. Through measurements such as spirometry and body plethysmography, lung volume, airflow and gas exchange are evaluated. These tests help diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma, COPD or restrictive lung disease.

Rx thorax
An RX-thorax, or chest radiograph, is a quick and simple imaging technique that allows the doctor to clearly visualise the lungs, heart and surrounding structures.

Radiology
During a radiology consultation, imaging studies, such as RX, ultrasound or CT scan, are performed. These examinations allow assessment of internal structures and organs and assist in detecting fractures, inflammation, tumours and other abnormalities.


Mammography
A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breasts that can detect abnormalities, such as lumps or early forms of breast cancer, at an early stage. It is an important part of preventive breast health care.

Bone densitometry
A bone densitometry, also known as a DEXA scan, determines the mineral density of your bones. This can determine whether your bones are healthy and strong, or weakened, and estimate the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.

Dermatoscan
A dermatoscan is a non-invasive medical technique to examine and analyse the skin. It is mainly used to detect skin cancer, such as melanoma, and other skin abnormalities early. Dermatologists use this method to closely monitor suspected moles and skin changes.
Duplex survey
A duplex examination combines ultrasound with blood flow measurements to visualise blood vessels. It can be applied to arteries and veins in, for example, the neck, abdomen, legs or arms. This examination helps detect and monitor narrowing, occlusion or dilation of blood vessels early.

Ultrasounds
At Medical Centre, we use ultrasound to get a detailed picture of the kidneys, bladder and prostate. This method uses sound waves, is completely painless and safe, and provides valuable information about the urinary tract and genitals without radiation.

Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology focuses on examining and treating disorders of the eye. During a consultation, complaints such as reduced vision, blurred vision, pain, redness or watery eyes are evaluated. In addition, eye diseases, including glaucoma, cataracts and retinal abnormalities, can be diagnosed in a timely manner. For a complete evaluation, specialised diagnostic equipment is used.
