Plain abdominal radiography (plain abdominal radiography) is a radiographic examination modality also known as abdominal plain radiography (KUB). The term “plain abdominal radiography” refers to the absence of contrast medium. It is a native radiograph that can be obtained using film-slide combinations or as a digital radiograph. The abdominal voiding radiograph is used, among other … Abdominal Empty Image
Cholecystography (synonym: cholecystocholangiography) is a contrast-enhanced radiographic method for imaging the gallbladder and biliary system. Two primary variations of the procedure are distinguished: Oral cholecystography (gallbladder imaging) and intravenous cholecystocholangiography (imaging of the gallbladder and bile ducts). These are procedures that are performed with high radiation exposure, so the patient must be informed in detail … Cholecystography (Cholecystocholangiography)
Small bowel imaging according to Sellink (synonym: enteroclysma according to Sellink) is an examination procedure for visualizing the small bowel, which is used primarily in cases of inflammatory processes and their complications (e.g., stenoses). The small intestine is the largest and longest organ of the human body and is largely responsible for the supply of … Small Intestine Imaging According to Sellink
The i.v. pyelogram (synonyms: IVP; intravenous pyelography, intravenous pyelogram; intravenous urography, i.v. urogram; urogram; i.v. urography; excretory urography (AUG); excretory pyelogram) is used for radiographic imaging of the urinary organs or urinary diversion system. An iodine-containing contrast medium is used, which is injected intravenously into the patient. The contrast in the X-ray image is improved … I.V. Pyelogram
The cystogram (synonyms: cystography; urinary bladder x-ray), the x-ray examination of the urinary bladder, is a diagnostic procedure in urology that can be used to assess the anatomical location and shape of the urinary bladder. It can also be used to rule out various pathological findings, such as neoplasia (benign or malignant neoplasm of tissue) … Urinary Bladder X-ray (Cystogram)
A urethrogram is a diagnostic procedure used in urology to assess the function of the urethra (urethra) and urinary bladder, which is performed using X-ray diagnostics. For better assessment of the anatomical structures, X-ray diagnostics is performed with a contrast medium, so that the lumina (openings) to be examined become more visible. Depending on the … Urethral X-ray (Urethrogram)
Contrast enema of the colon (synonyms: contrast enema (KE), colon contrast enema, colon contrast enema, colon contrast enema, colon contrast enema, colon CE, colon CE) is a radiographic method for imaging the colon (large intestine). It is used, among other things, for the diagnosis of tumorous and inflammatory diseases. Today, the examination is largely superseded … Contrast Enema
Gastrointestinal passage (synonym: MDP) is a radiographic procedure used to examine the upper gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and duodenum (small intestine). In addition, the jejunum and ileum (small intestine) can also be examined. This is a contrast medium-assisted procedure that is performed under high radiation exposure, so the patient must … Gastrointestinal Passage
Micturition cystourethrography (MZU; synonym: micturition cyst urethrography, MCU) refers to a urologic examination method in which the urinary bladder and urethra are imaged before and during micturition (urination) using contrast medium as part of an X-ray examination. Indications (areas of application) Malformations/changes of the urinary bladder and/or urethra, such as urethral stenosis (narrowing of the … Micturition Cystourethrography
Galactography is a radiographic procedure used in the field of gynecology (women’s health). In this examination, the milk ducts of the female mamma (breast) are visualized with the help of X-ray contrast medium to visually show pathologic (pathological) changes. Galactography is used to diagnose disease processes that occur within the milk ducts, such as small … Milk Duct Imaging (Galactography)
The esophageal breesophagus is used for contrast-enhanced imaging of the esophagus (food pipe) and esophagogastric junction (junction of the esophagus with the stomach). It is a radiographic imaging modality that allows diagnostic detection of a variety of diseases. Another important element is the assessment of the swallowing act, which is also documented. The method competes … Esophageal Breast Swallow
X-ray examination of the abdomen, called X-ray abdomen for short (synonyms: abdominal X-ray; abdominal overview, abdominal overview), together with abdominal sonography (ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs), is part of the basic diagnostics of the abdomen (belly). Both examinations point the way for further diagnostics or already give indications for suitable therapeutic measures. X-ray abdomen … X-ray Abdomen
