- Soft Tissue Abnormalities – Assists in the assessment of nasal swelling, tumours, or fluid accumulation.
It is rapid, non-invasive, and yields valuable diagnostic information for the assessment of nasal bone fractures and structural abnormalities.
Medifyhome has associations with NABL-approved diagnostic centres for offering economical, quality, and accurate X-ray facilities for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

- Nasal Bone Fractures & Trauma – Examines broken or displaced nasal bones from accidents or trauma.
