Skeletal scintigraphy, or bone scintigraphy, is used to detect active changes in bones. Normal, healthy bones are constantly being remodeled. In particular, where heavy stresses are placed on the bone, calcium phosphate is incessantly incorporated and removed. This phosphate metabolism can be visualized with skeletal scintigraphy so that pathological changes in the bone can be … Skeletal Scintigraphy: Treatment, Effects & Risks
An arteriovenous malformation is a vascular malformation that creates a direct connection between the arterial and venous parts of the bloodstream without the interposition of the capillary system. This rare vascular malformation, which in many cases affects the central nervous system, usually occurs in the form of a plexus of veins. The walls of the … Arteriovenous Malformation: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Liver hemangioma (or liver hemangioma or liver hemangioma) is a benign tumor. Usually, the hemangioma occurs on the head or neck; children are predominantly affected, although the hemangioma regresses on its own – until puberty. Liver hemangioma, on the other hand, is a rare form of hemangioma. What is a liver hemangioma? Hemangioma is a … Liver Hemangioma: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Gliomatosis cerebri is a primary type brain tumor. Gliomatosis cerebri is characterized by diffuse infiltration in the tissues of the brain, which is also typical of other gliomas. Due to the extent of this infiltration, the solid structures of the tumor play a secondary role. Gliomatosis cerebri represents a very rare disease, with a high … Gliomatosis Cerebri: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Venography is a radiologic procedure used to image the venous system, specifically the veins of the legs. In most cases, the indication arises from suspicion of thrombosis or varicose veins. Because of the radiation and contrast agent exposure of venography, sonography is increasingly used as an alternative for imaging veins. What is venography? Venography is … Venography: Treatment, Effect & Risks
Fluorescence tomography is an imaging technique used mainly in in vivo diagnostics. It is based on the use of fluorescent dyes that serve as biomarkers. The technique is now mostly used in research or prenatal studies. What is fluorescence tomography? Fluorescence tomography detects and quantifies the three-dimensional distribution of fluorescent biomarkers in biological tissues. Figure … Fluorescence Tomography: Treatment, Effects & Risks
When urinary tract symptoms are present, it may be necessary to look at the urinary bladder as well as the urinary tract. Cystography provides a view of these internal organs. What is cystography? If you have urinary tract symptoms, it may be necessary to look at the urinary bladder as well as the urinary tract. … Cystography: Treatment, Effects & Risks
Differentiation of scar tissue and breast cancer after surgery in the MRT Very well suited is an MRI after surgery. The scar tissue that develops during surgical procedures can make the evaluation of an X-ray mammography or sonography significantly more difficult or even impossible. In magnetic resonance imaging, on the other hand, a tumor can … Differentiation of scar tissue and breast cancer after surgery in the MRT | Use of the MRT ́s for breast cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique used in medical diagnostics to assess the structure and function of organs. In contrast to X-rays or computed tomography (CT), it does not use ionizing (radioactive) radiation, but instead uses the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance. According to the current state of research, the MRI is therefore … Use of the MRT ́s for breast cancer
Early detection Magnetic resonance imaging is still not used extensively for the diagnosis of breast cancer in Germany. According to current medical guidelines (S3 guidelines), contrast medium MRI should not be used routinely for pre-therapeutic, i.e. also preventive, diagnostics. It is recommended as a supplementary diagnostic procedure, especially in cases of increased risk in the … Early detection | Use of the MRT ́s for breast cancer
