An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. The heart produces tiny electrical impulses which spread through the heart muscle to make the heart contract. These impulses can be detected by the ECG machine. You may have an ECG to help find the cause of symptoms such as palpitations or chest pain.
Sometimes it is done as part of routine tests - for example, before you have an operation.
The ECG test is painless and harmless. (The ECG machine records electrical impulses coming from your body - it does not put any electricity into your body.)
Ultrasound also known as ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of high-frequency sound waves.
The reflected sound waves/echoes are recorded and displayed as a real time visual image. No ionising radiation (X-ray) is involved in ultrasound.
Endoscopy is a procedure that lets your doctor look inside your body. It uses an instrument called an endoscope, or scope for short.

Sometimes scopes are used for surgery, such as for removing polyps from the colon.

≫ Arthroscopy: joints
≫ Bronchoscopy: lungs
≫ Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy: large intestine
≫ Cystoscopy and ureteroscopy: urinary system

The fat is removed through a hollow instrument - a cannula - which is inserted under the skin. A powerful, high-pressure vacuum is applied to the cannula.
