Which tests are available
Ultrasound is what people come for most often. We scan the abdominal organs (liver, gallbladder, including a gallbladder function test, pancreas and spleen), kidneys and bladder, thyroid and breasts, lymph nodes, salivary glands, pleural recesses, joints, soft tissues and eyes. We also do ultrasound of the heart and of the leg veins and arteries, and pelvic ultrasound for women (including transvaginal) and men (prostate and scrotum). There is neurosonography for babies, lung ultrasound for children and echoencephalography, an ultrasound examination of the brain. During pregnancy, we do screening scans. Together with biochemical blood tests, they help detect congenital anomalies and chromosomal abnormalities in the baby before birth.
To check the heart, we do 12-lead ECGs, as well as exercise ECGs, ECGs with drug tests, ECGs with Nehb and Slopak leads, rhythmograms and a hyperventilation test. Holter monitoring gives a long recording of your ECG and blood pressure: the device is worn for one or two days, or up to seven if needed. 24-hour blood pressure monitoring helps diagnose hypertension and check how well treatment works. Your doctor decides which recording you need. Spirometry with drug tests shows how well your lungs work and what their volume is.
We examine the stomach and bowel with gastroscopy, colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy. We also measure eye pressure: raised pressure, or ocular hypertension, can be a sign of glaucoma. Oxygen saturation, meaning the level of oxygen in your blood, is measured with a pulse oximeter, with no needle.

Laser treatment for varicose veins, or endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), closes the affected vein from the inside through a small puncture, with no incisions.

Ligament sprain: what to do and when to see a trauma doctor
In a sprain, some of the fibers in a ligament tear, so the joint hurts and swells, a bruise appears and moving it is painful. For the first 48 hours, rest the joint, apply cold through a cloth, wrap it in a moderately firm bandage and keep your leg raised. If you cannot stand on your leg or the joint looks deformed, go to a trauma unit (travmpunkt), where they will take an X-ray straight away.

Colonoscopy: what it is, how to prepare and whether it hurts
During a colonoscopy, a doctor examines the inside of the large intestine with a thin, flexible tube that has a camera on the end. So that the doctor can see the whole lining, the bowel is cleared in advance: a few days before, you switch to low-fiber food, and the day before, you drink a bowel prep solution as your doctor instructs. Without anesthesia the test can be unpleasant, so you can have it under anesthesia.
How to prepare for an abdominal ultrasound
Come to an abdominal ultrasound on an empty stomach, usually after 6–8 hours without food, which is why the scan is easiest to schedule in the morning. You can drink a little plain water. If you often get bloated, cut out the foods that make it worse for 1–2 days before the scan.
Thyroid gland: symptoms, tests and when to have an ultrasound

When it is underactive, people feel cold, tire quickly and gain weight; when it is overactive, they have a racing heart, sweating, weight loss and shaking hands. Testing usually starts with a TSH blood test, and the doctor adds free T4, antibodies or an ultrasound if needed.
High blood pressure: what to do at home and how to lower it
