X-ray

An X-ray is a quick, painless test that takes pictures of the bones and organs in the body. X-rays pass through the body and are absorbed to varying degrees depending on the density of the tissues being examined. Bones and metal implants are highly dense and appear white on an X-ray, air in the lungs appears black, and fat and muscle tissue appear in shades of gray. Some types of X-rays use a contrast agent, such as iodine or barium, that is injected into the body to provide more detailed images.

Computed tomography (scanner)

A computed tomography (CT) scanner is a specialized X-ray machine that uses x-rays to produce a series of computer-generated images of the human body.

For this reason, our CT scanners are the latest generation, using state-of-the-art technology to keep the time the patient is exposed to these rays to a minimum.

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (SCANNER) EXAMINATIONS

By using specialized equipment to create and interpret CT images, various diseases can be more easily diagnosed: oncological, cardiovascular, pulmonological (lung), gastro-enterological, endocrinological, gynecological appendicitis, trauma, musculoskeletal disorders, etc.

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY EXAMINATION IS:

the fastest way to diagnose affected areas of the lungs from COVID-19
one of the fastest and most accurate ways to examine the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, as it provides detailed images of all types of tissues
for examining patients with injuries and traumas from accidents
for patients with problems and pain in the abdominal area
This is often the best method for detecting various types of cancer (lung, brain, pelvic tumors, etc.), as the image allows confirming the presence of a tumor, and then determining its size and extent of involvement of other tissues.
to detect vascular diseases – CT is often used to detect pulmonary embolism, as well as aortic aneurysm
for diagnosing fractures and injuries to the hands, feet and other skeletal structures

Specialists often use CT scans to:

rapid identification of problems with the lungs, heart and blood vessels, liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines, etc. internal organs
when planning or evaluating the results of surgery, organ transplants or bypass

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging

Nuclear magnetic resonance - Nuclear magnetic resonance — NMR, also known as magnetic resonance imaging — MRI and magnetic resonance tomography — MRT, is a test that produces images of the organs and structures of the body using a powerful magnetic field and radio wave energy.

In many cases, MRI provides additional information about various body structures that can be examined by other imaging methods — x-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography — but it can also visualize problems that cannot be detected by other studies.
