X-rays (X-ray studies)

Metrosalpingography (hysterosalpingography)

To study the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes use a special technique - metrosalpingography. Metrosalpingography (hysterosalpingography) is an X-ray performed after filling the uterine cavity and tubes with a contrast medium through the cervical canal.

X-ray of the uterus and ovaries

In those years when only the X-ray method was used to study the reproductive organs, the radiation diagnosis occupied a relatively modest place in obstetrics and gynecology. Its development restrained the risk of radiation damage to the fetus or gonads. However, when there were methods not related to radiation exposure, especially such as ultrasound and radioimmunoassay, the situation changed. Without radiation research, it is already impossible to imagine modern obstetrics, gynecology and mammology.

X-ray of the eye socket

The organ of vision consists of the eyeball, its protective parts (eye socket and eyelids) and appendages of the eye (tear and movement apparatus). Glaznitsa (orbit) in shape resembles a truncated tetrahedral pyramid.

X-ray of the ear and the temporal bone

The survey radiographs of the skull do not give a complete picture of the state of the temporal bone. In this regard, specialists in the field of radiation diagnosis use mainly sighting images and X-ray computer or magnetic resonance tomograms.

X-ray of the larynx and pharynx

Pharyngoscopy and laryngoscopy provide the study of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and larynx and the function of the vocal cords. Important additional data on the condition of the walls of these organs, in particular on the surrounding tissue and cartilage of the larynx, allows obtaining a computed tomography.

X-ray of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses

X-ray examination of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, larynx, hearing organ, as well as the eye and orbit has gained full recognition in the clinic already in the first years after the discovery of X-rays.

X-ray of the adrenal glands

Radiation methods are of considerable help to the clinician in the recognition of adrenal lesions. On the survey radiographs, these glands are not visible. Only in cases where Addison's disease is associated with tuberculosis of the adrenal glands, in the latter, small deposits of lime are sometimes noticeable.

X-ray of the thyroid gland

Recognition of diseases of the endocrine glands is one of the brightest pages of radiation diagnostics. With the help of radial methods, the doctor determines changes in the structure of the gland and focal formations in it. Moreover, he can detect and quantify the dysfunction of each gland and the "governing organs" of the hormonal hierarchy - the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

X-ray of the bones

X-ray method allowed to obtain new data on the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system: to study the structure and function of bones and joints in vivo, in an integral organism, under the influence of a variety of environmental factors on a person.

X-ray of the spine and spinal cord

The spine consists of 24 vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx. In healthy people, it forms characteristic physiological curves: anteriorly in the cervical and lumbar regions and posteriorly in the thoracic and sacral regions. The size of the vertebral bodies gradually increases in the caudal direction, i.e. Down. The vertebral body on radiographs has the shape of a rectangle with somewhat concave lateral edges and rounded corners.
