Computed Tomography (CT) is an imaging technique that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It combines X-rays with computer-assisted technologies to create precise and high-resolution images of internal organs, tissues, and structures. During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner, which directs X-rays at the body from various angles. The data collected is processed by a computer and converted into cross-sectional images.
CT is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions in various body regions, such as evaluating tumors, internal injuries, inflammations, or diseases of the lungs and abdomen. It provides a quick and effective way to analyze complex medical issues and is often used in emergency situations.
Computed Tomography is an indispensable tool in modern medicine, contributing to accurate diagnostics and optimal patient treatment.
Bone density measurement, also known as osteodensitometry, is a diagnostic procedure used to determine bone density and assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This examination is particularly important for older adults, postmenopausal women, and individuals with certain risk factors, such as a family history of osteoporosis, long-term use of corticosteroids, or reduced bone density due to eating disorders.
The most common method for measuring bone density is Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), which uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone density in specific areas, such as the hip and spine. The procedure is painless, takes only a few minutes, and usually requires no special preparation.
The results of the bone density measurement are presented as a T-score, which indicates how the patient’s bone density compares to that of a healthy, young reference population. A low T-score suggests reduced bone density and may indicate an increased risk of fractures.
Bone density measurement is an important tool for the early detection of osteoporosis and for monitoring bone health during treatment. Early interventions, such as lifestyle changes, medication, or targeted muscle-strengthening exercises, can significantly reduce the risk of fractures.

Digital X-ray is a technique that uses X-rays to create images of the body.
A significant advantage of digital X-ray is the reduced radiation exposure for the patient, as the digital technology is often more sensitive and requires fewer X-rays to produce high-quality images.
Furthermore, digital X-ray images can be easily stored, edited, and shared across networks, which facilitates collaboration between different medical specialties.
It is particularly useful for diagnosing bone fractures, osteoarthritis, inflammations, and tumors.
Ultrasound diagnostics, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs and tissues. This method is painless and has no known side effects, making it a safe choice for patients of all ages, including pregnant women and newborns.
During an ultrasound examination, a gel is applied to the skin to enhance the transmission of sound waves. A transducer, which emits the sound waves and receives the returning echoes, is then moved with gentle pressure over the area of the body being examined. The reflected sound waves are converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor.
We primarily use ultrasound to assess organs such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, thyroid gland, and breast tissue. Sonography aids in diagnosing conditions like cysts, tumors, and inflammations.
Overall, ultrasound diagnostics is a versatile and effective method that provides valuable support in diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions.
