CT scan

Understand the ct scan procedure: when it is recommended, how it is done, safety, and how results are reported.

Thyroid CT scan: when it's needed, what it shows, and how it differs from ultrasound

Computed tomography of the thyroid gland is a layered X-ray imaging method that clearly shows not only the gland itself, but also the trachea, esophagus, blood vessels, lymph nodes, mediastinum, and deep structures of the neck.

Computed tomography of the lungs: what the test shows, when it is prescribed, and how safe is it?

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the lungs is a cross-sectional imaging technique that uses an X-ray tube and detectors to rotate around the body, and a computer to assemble many thin slices into a detailed image of the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, great vessels, chest bones, and parts of the upper abdomen.

Computed tomography of the mammary glands: indications, possibilities, limitations and place in modern diagnostics

In real-life practice, the term "breast computed tomography" often covers two different situations. The first is a routine chest computed tomography scan, in which changes in the breast are detected incidentally.

Positron emission tomography: how it works, where it is used, and what it shows

Positron emission tomography is a nuclear medicine technique that evaluates not only the structure but also the function of tissues.

Optical coherence tomography of the eye: what the test shows, when it is prescribed, and how to correctly interpret the results

Optical coherence tomography is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses light to produce cross-sectional images of eye tissue.

Computed tomography of the heart: what it shows and when it is needed

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is a group of X-ray examinations in which a scanner obtains thin, layered images of the heart and major vessels, and a computer assembles them into two-dimensional and three-dimensional reconstructions.

Computed tomography of the spine: how it is performed and what it shows

A CT scan of the spine is a modern, cross-sectional examination of the human body. It relies on computerized measurement and processing of the difference in X-ray attenuation between tissues of varying density.

Mammography: examination options

Mammography, as a diagnostic method, is currently the most informative and convenient.

Dental tomography: 3D diagnostics

Dental tomography is a relatively new diagnostic method. However, in a short time, it has gained widespread trust and popularity.

MRCP: MR diagnostics of the bile and pancreatic ducts

A highly effective non-invasive method for diagnosing biliary tract diseases is magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), which allows for obtaining high-contrast images of the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.
