X-rays (X-ray studies)

Roentgen of vessels (arteries)

On the radiographs, the shade of the ascending aorta, its arcs and the beginning of the descending part are well distinguished. In the nadklapannom department, its caliber reaches 4 cm, and then gradually decreases, making an average of 2.5 cm in the descending part.

Roentgen of the heart and blood vessels

In the 1980s, computer methods of imaging were introduced into the practice of cardiology: digital coronary and ventriculography, computed tomography synchronized with heart function, magnetic resonance imaging. Moreover, radiologists have received special catheters for vascular plastic and laser devices for evaporation of atherosclerotic plaques.

X-rays of light

With the development of computed tomography, the importance of X-rays in the diagnosis of lung diseases has increased even more. With its help, it is possible to identify the earliest changes in the organs of the thoracic cavity. An important place in the evaluation of functional pathology of the lungs, in particular violations of capillary blood flow in them, was taken by the radionuclide method.

X-ray endovascular occlusion

X-ray endovascular occlusion is a transcatheter occlusion of the vessel, its embolization. For this, an embolizing material is injected through the catheter, which temporarily or permanently surrounds the lumen of the vessel. Depending on the caliber of the vessel and the purpose of the procedure, platinum microparticles, microspheres with ferromagnets, hemostatic gelatin sponge, metal spirals, oil emulsions are used.

Endovascular dilatation (angioplasty)

Endovascular dilatation, or angioplasty, is one of the most effective ways of treating limited segmental vascular lesions - stenosis and occlusion.

Angiography

Angiography - X-ray examination of blood vessels, produced with the use of contrast agents. For artificial contrasting, a solution of the organic iodine compound intended for this purpose is injected into the blood and lymphatic channels. Depending on what part of the vascular system is contrasted, distinguish arteriography, venography (phlebography) and lymphography.

Fluorography

Fluorography is an X-ray method that involves photographing an image from a fluorescent X-ray screen (which is used more often), an electron-optical converter screen or systems designed for subsequent digitization of images onto a small format film - usually 110x110 mm, 100x100 mm or, , 70 x 70 mm.

X-ray examination

X-ray examination (X-ray radiography) is an X-ray examination method in which an image of an object is obtained on a luminous (fluorescent) screen.

Radiography

Radiography (X-ray imaging) is an X-ray examination method in which a fixed X-ray image of an object is obtained on a solid carrier, in the overwhelming majority of cases on an X-ray film.
