Computed tomography CT

Written by DMC2 on . Posted in Radiology, Services.

Computed tomography is a high-technology imaging method. Digital images obtained by multislice CT are more detailed than conventional radiography. The modern Siemens multislice computed tomography scanner is characterized by high scanning speed, and its advanced software capabilities allow for three-dimensional multiplanar and volumetric image reconstruction. CT enables the detection of pathological processes in the brain, abdominal and thoracic organs, retroperitoneal space, pelvic vessels, paranasal sinuses, skeletal bones and joints, spine, and numerous other structures. It also allows for determining the nature, extent, and vascularization of these processes. Intravenous bolus CT angiography is performed to detect tumors, and vascular anomalies, and assess the nature of blood supply to already identified tumors and their relationship with major vessels, in cases of portal hypertension, and for dangerous complications such as pulmonary embolism. Non-bolus intravenous contrast enhancement is used for examining diseases of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, tumors, and urinary flow disorders. Oral contrast administration is used as a necessary preparation for small and large intestine examinations and pelvic organ studies. Virtual colonoscopy with intestinal contrast enhancement is performed for colon examination using an enema technique. CT scans can be performed for the following anatomical regions and structures:
  •  Orbital region
  •  Brain
  • Paranasal sinuses
  • Maxillofacial area
  • Neck organs
  • Cervical spine
  • Thoracic organs (lungs, mediastinum)
  • Retroperitoneal organs
  • Pelvic organs
  • Thoracic spine
  • Lumbosacral spine
  • Upper extremities (including joints)
  • Lower extremities (including joints)
  • Small and large intestines
 

Ultrasound

Written by DMC2 on . Posted in Radiology, Services.

Currently, ultrasound examination is one of the highly informative and non-invasive diagnostic methods. It provides a comprehensive morphological and functional assessment of the examined patient’s body. For this reason, it is often the first step in diagnosis. The ultrasound diagnostics department of the “Diagnostica” Radiological Center is equipped with modern GE 2D and 3D ultrasound machines. Our department employs highly qualified specialists who are pioneers in this field in Armenia and have received training in leading European clinics as well as in the Russian Federation. They have many years of professional experience and are lecturers at the medical university. The department performs the following types of ultrasound examinations:
  •  Sonography of pelvic and abdominal organs
  • Thyroid and parathyroid gland sonography
  •  Salivary gland sonography
  • Soft tissue and subcutaneous lesion sonography
  •  Breast sonography
  •  Lymph node sonography
  •  Female pelvic organ sonography and folliculometry
  •  Comprehensive neck organ sonography
  •  Testicular sonography
  •  Transvaginal sonography
  •  Joint sonography
 Ultrasound examination in gynecology allows for the detection of diseases of the female reproductive system at an early stage, before clinical signs appear, which enables effective treatment outcomes. For this reason, it is highly recommended that women undergo a preventive ultrasound examination once a year to maintain their health and initiate timely treatment if necessary.

Oncologist

  Early diagnosis and treatment of both benign and malignant neoplasms is crucial for preserving a patient’s life and health. It’s necessary to consult an oncologist if you notice:
  •  Sudden coughing fits
  •  Loss of consciousness, balance disorders
  •  Bowel and bladder dysfunction
  •  Prolonged non-healing ulcers or fissures in any area (skin, cervix, lips)
  • Changes in pigmented spots
  •  Any unusual discharges (abundant mucous, purulent, etc.)
  • Formation of any type of tumor (lipomas, papillomas, warts, etc.)
  It is essential for all women over 40 to undergo mammography. The frequency of repeat examinations is determined by the oncologist. If there is a family history of oncological diseases, it’s necessary to pay more attention to one’s health and undergo preventive medical examinations. After 40, it’s important to screen the colon, and for men, the prostate and lungs as well. Minor surgical interventions performed include:  
  • Removal of benign soft tissue formations
  • Removal of papillomas
  • Puncture biopsy (with morphological examination) of breast, thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and soft tissue neoplasms
 

Dermatologist

Joint Ultrasound

Written by DMC2 on . Posted in Cardiology, Services.

Joint ultrasound examination is an affordable and informative method that allows assessing both bone and cartilage structures and soft tissue structures, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which is absolutely impossible during X-ray examination. Ultrasound examination enables early detection of inflammatory and destructive changes in joints and soft tissue components, determination of the presence of minimum amounts of free fluid in the joint cavity, as well as assessment of the nature of the fluid. Advantages of ultrasound examination:
  • Diagnosis is performed in real-time, allowing examination of the joint in motion
  • High-sensitivity equipment reflects the structure of collagen fibers
  • Unlike X-ray examination, it’s possible to detect fluid in the joint cavity
  • After treatment, an ultrasound examination allows assessing the effectiveness of the treatment
During an ultrasound examination, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle joints, wrist joints, and calcaneus are examined.
