The arteriograph is a clinically and scientifically patented measurement system that can be used to assess various measurement parameters of the arterial vascular system. The primary application of the arteriograph is in the visualization of arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness itself describes both the structural and functional properties of the arterial vasculature. For precise evaluation of … Arteriograph
Blood pressure is the pressure occurring in the vessels, which is determined by the cardiac output, vascular resistance and blood viscosity (viscosity) of the blood. According to the German Hypertension League, approximately 35 million people in Germany are affected by hypertension (high blood pressure) and have to measure their blood pressure regularly. While a blood … Blood Pressure Measurement
The 6-minute walk test (synonyms: 6MGT; 6-min-walk distance, 6MWD) is a standardized procedure for objective assessment, determination of severity, and progression of exercise limitation attributable to cardiopulmonary causes. The evaluation of the effectiveness of therapeutic measures, physical training and the success of an invasive surgical procedure also play an important role. With the help of … 6 Minutes Walk Test
Angiography is an invasive imaging technique for visualizing arteries and veins using contrast media. The conventional version is performed under radiographic control with fluoroscopy and the production of serial radiographs. Today, this form of angiography is increasingly being replaced by the more modern procedures of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). The term … Angiography as a Diagnostic Tool
The X-ray examination of the thorax (chest), briefly called X-ray thorax (synonym: chest X-ray), is the most common radiological examination and is part of the standard diagnostics, especially in the emergency room. In pulmonology (medicine of lung diseases), this X-ray examination is also of utmost importance and is part of basic diagnostics. Correct assessment of … X-ray Chest
Stroke risk analysis (synonyms: SRA analysis; stroke risk analyzer; stroke risk analysis) is a novel procedure in the field of apoplectic insult (stroke) prevention. It is a diagnostic procedure that allows early detection of the risk of stroke in patients at risk based on the ECG (electrocardiogram; procedure that creates the electrical record of heart … Stroke Risk Analysis
Spiroergometry, also known as ergospirometry, is a method that provides information about cardiac and pulmonary performance by measuring respiratory gases, at rest and during exercise. This method continuously measures the respiratory volume and the proportion of CO2 and O2 in the respiratory air and, derived from this, offers a wide range of information. For the … Spiroergometry: How does it work?
Stress echocardiography (stress echocardiography; synonym: stress echocardiography) is a diagnostic procedure in cardiology (study of the heart) that can be used, among other things, to evaluate coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis of the coronary vessels/supplying vessels). Stress echocardiography is the term used for an ultrasound examination of the heart that can be used to precisely determine … Stress Echocardiography
Venous diagnostics and, in particular, ultrasound examination (sonography) of the venous vessels play a major role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the venous vascular system. The field of application includes above all the exclusion of venous thrombosis (occlusion of the vein by a blood clot) and the detection of insufficient venous valves … Ultrasound Examination of the Venous Vessels
Hepatobiliary sequence scintigraphy (HBSS) is a nuclear medicine procedure used to visualize the functionality of the liver and biliary system. The liver is the central metabolic organ of the human organism. It is supplied by two different circulations. The blood supply is provided by the liver‘s own arteries (A. hepatica propria) and by the portal … Hepatobiliary Sequence Scintigraphy
Liver blood pool scintigraphy (liver blood pool scintigraphy) is a nuclear medicine diagnostic procedure for imaging liver perfusion (blood flow). The liver is the central metabolic organ of the human organism. It has important synthesis and metabolization functions in carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism (sugar, protein and fat metabolism) and thus plays a crucial role … Liver Blood Pool Scintigraphy
Pancreatic ultrasonography (synonym: ultrasound of the pancreas) is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure used in radiology and internal medicine to detect pathologic (disease) processes of the pancreas. Sonographic evaluation of the pancreas can be performed using a variety of techniques. Both conventional abdominal sonography and endoscopic sonography allow, to varying degrees, assessment of the anatomic structures … Pancreatic Ultrasound
