Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis (synonyms: pelvic MRI; MRI pelvis) – or also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) of the pelvis – refers to a radiological examination procedure in which a magnetic field is used to visualize the structures in the area of the pelvis with the pelvic organs. Magnetic resonance imaging … Pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic method in gastroenterology that combines endoscopy and radiology. It involves radiographic imaging of the biliary system and pancreatic duct (pancreatic duct) during an endoscopic examination. Indications (areas of application) Biliary tract imaging Imaging of the pancreatic duct to rule out inflammation, tumors, or pseudocysts Cholelithiasis (gallstones) – gallstone … Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography
Endoscopic ultrasound examination (EUS) (synonym: endoscopic ultrasound; endosonography) is a diagnostic method used in gastroenterology, primarily for suspected tumor diseases. In this procedure, an endoscopy (reflection) of the upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) or the lower digestive tract (rectum and rectum) is technically combined with an endosonography (ultrasound examination). Indications (areas of application) … Endosonography: Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Scrotal ultrasonography (synonyms: testicular sonography; testicular ultrasound) is a method of examining the scrotal organs testis and epididymis with ultrasound. It is considered the gold standard of imaging diagnostics of this body region. Scrotal ultrasonography is used to determine testicular volumes and to examine the testicular parenchyma (testicular tissue). Especially in the diagnosis of “acute … Testicular Ultrasound (Scrotal Sonography)
Bronchoscopy (more accurately tracheobronchoscopy) refers to the endoscopy of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchial tree of the lungs using an endoscope. This is a thin, flexible, tube-shaped instrument with an integrated light source. Indications (areas of application) Suspected tumors Suspicion of persistent inflammatory changes Foreign body removal due toforeign body aspiration (in children mainly fragments … Pulmonary Endoscopy (Bronchoscopy)
Gastroscopy – more properly referred to as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) – refers to the endoscopy of the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the duodenum (duodenum) using an endoscope. This is a thin, flexible, tube-shaped instrument with an integrated light source. Gastroscopy is used for early detection of pathological changes in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract … Gastroscopy: How does it work?
Thyroid ultrasonography (synonyms: ultrasound of the thyroid gland; thyroid ultrasound) is a noninvasive (not penetrating into the body) diagnostic procedure of radiology, which is currently the most important examination method for the clarification of abnormal thyroid findings and for control examinations of the thyroid gland. The sensitivity (percentage of diseased patients in whom the disease … Thyroid Ultrasound (Thyroid Sonography)
Esophagoscopy refers to the endoscopy of the esophagus using an endoscope. This is a thin, flexible, tube-shaped instrument with an integrated light source. Esophagoscopy is used for early detection of pathological changes in the esophagus and is recommended for various indications. Indications (areas of application) Anemia (anemia) Dysphagia (swallowing disorder) Foreign body removal Gastroesophageal reflux … Esophagoscopy
Computed tomography of the thorax/chest (synonyms: thoracic CT; CT thorax) refers to a radiological examination procedure in which the thorax with its organs (esp. lungs) is examined using computed tomography (CT). Indications (areas of application) Inflammatory changes of the breast organs Malformations in the area of the thorax (chest). Interstitial lung disease (parenchymal lung disease) … Thoracic Computer Tomography
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thorax (synonyms: thoracic MRI; MRI thorax) – or also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) of the thorax – refers to a radiological examination procedure in which a magnetic field is used to image the structures in the region of the chest with the thoracic organs. MRI is now … Thoracic Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Prostate sonography (synonym: ultrasound of the prostate) is a diagnostic imaging procedure from the medical specialty of urology that uses ultrasound to take images of the internal organs in the pelvic region. It is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that does not require X-rays.Prostate ultrasonography is primarily used to evaluate prostate tissue or diagnose changes in … Ultrasound of the Prostate (Prostate Sonography)
Abdominal ultrasonography (synonyms: transabdominal sonography; transabdominal sonography; abdominal sonography; abdominal sonography) is the ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs (organs of the abdominal cavity). Abdominal sonography primarily examines the following organs: Liver and gall bladder Pancreas Kidneys and adrenal glands Aorta (main artery) and outgoing great vessels. Spleen Urinary bladder Lymph nodes Abdominal ultrasonography is … Abdominal Ultrasound (Abdominal Sonography)
