Radiography is the study of the internal structure of the body by X-ray transmission and recording the results on a special film or digital media (disk, flash card).
What problem does it solve?
Radiography is the main diagnostic method for pathologies of the osteoarticular system.
This method also plays an important role in the examination of the lungs.
Contrast radiography is performed to assess the state of the internal relief of hollow organs.
In what cases is it used?
allows you to assess the presence and degree of pathological changes in the lung tissue (lung radiography)
helps in the diagnosis of pathologies of the cardiovascular system, heart defects, disorders in the work of the small circulatory circle (heart radiography)
for the diagnosis of fractures, deformities and curvature of the spine. Allows you to indirectly judge osteochondrosis of the spine (radiography of the spine)
allows you to identify the presence of perforations, ulcers, foreign bodies. It is also possible to determine at what level the evacuation function and peristalsis are located. Performed with and without contrast (radiography of the stomach and duodenum)
allows you to assess the condition of the bile ducts. It is carried out with contrast (radiography of the gallbladder).
allows you to detect the presence of polyps, tumors, foreign bodies, intestinal inflammation. Performed with contrast. (colon X-ray)
a review study that is carried out with or without contrast and allows you to clarify the diagnosis if there are complaints of severe abdominal pain from the patient. (radiography of the abdominal cavity)
allows you to diagnose open and closed fractures, subluxations and dislocations, ligament injuries, chronic and acute diseases of joints and bones, secondary bone and joint disorders. It is carried out in different projections depending on the patient’s complaints and body area. (radiography of bones and joints).
examination of the uterine cavity and patency of the fallopian tubes. Reveals the presence of adhesive processes and anatomical changes. (metrosalpingography).
examination of the mammary glands in order to detect breast tumor diseases in the early stages (mammography)
Advantages:
modern and highly effective research;
maximum amount of information with minimum radiation load;
allows you to quickly and effectively assess the presence of a pathological and/or non-palpable formation with ambiguous data from other examination methods;
you have the opportunity to store the results of the study on an electronic medium for a long time to compare changes with new studies.
