Medical Diagnostic Testing for Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan

At our Westland office, we offer different types of Medical Diagnostic testing. If you are not familiar with the term; Medical Diagnostics Testing is the process to determine and identify the possible disorders or diseases. A person gets a medical diagnostic test after they develop symptoms of a particular disease or condition.

Most of our diagnostic testing is non-invasive where the patient has little or no discomfort. Subsequently, you may require more invasive diagnostics because they provide a definitive diagnosis.  It is extremely important to get a medical diagnostic test to confirm that you if you have a problem or better yet; get a clean bill of health.  We use many forms of medical diagnostic testing at our Michigan Medical Clinic.  Some of our medical diagnostic testings include; Ultrasound testing, Echocardiogram, Mammography, Bone Density Testing, Stress Testing, Nuclear Studies, Stress Echoes, Bone Scanning, Thyroid Scan, HIDA Scan, X-ray, Electrocardiogram, Phlebotomy, Pulmonary function tests and EMG testing.

We now offer these tests in our Westland Michigan office on Wayne road.  We also offer Medical Diagnostic testing to all Metro Detroit and Southeastern Michigan at our Westland Clinic.  Please contact our office to schedule an appointment for a Medical Diagnostic test.

Avoid the Flu in Michigan!

With Michigan’s flu season at it’s prime, every day more and more people are getting infected. Knowing how you can prevent yourself from catching the bug can reduce your chances of getting sick significantly.

Besides the obvious prevention of getting the flu shot, there are some things you can do on your own. Because the flu can be transferred by both direct and indirect contact, hand washing is number one. If someone coughs or sneezes into their hands, then touches a doorknob or any other object that object is contaminated. The flu virus is able to survive between 2 and 8 hours on surfaces. Washing your hands very frequently can help reduce the chances of becoming infected. Tissue

Along with washing your hands, covering your coughs and sneezes is also very important. Many people have a horrible habit of using their hands to cover their coughs or sneezes. When doing so, anything you touch between your sneeze/cough and washing your hands is contaminated. Using a tissue or your elbow to cover your cough/sneeze can reduce the transfer of germs.

You may be fortunate enough and not become victim of the flu, but you should always know the symptoms in case you do become sick. The flu can vary from person to person, meaning they can be mild for some, or severe for others. Common symptoms of the flu are: headache, muscle ache, fever, chills, coughing, sneezing, or runny nose. Symptoms can occur suddenly and can differ from person to person.

If you think you may have the flu, or want to get your flu shot, contact Millennium Medical Group Westland or Livonia location today to get proper treatment.
