Radiology

Modern diagnostic technologies to visualize the internal structures of the body in order to establish an accurate diagnosis, monitor diseases, and plan treatment.

Department Overview

Radiology is a medical specialty that uses modern diagnostic technologies to visualize the internal structures of the body in order to establish an accurate diagnosis, monitor diseases, and plan treatment.

The Department of Radiology uses a variety of methods, including X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and interventional procedures, providing fast, precise, and comprehensive insight into the patient’s condition.

All examinations are performed according to standardized protocols, with a high level of safety and an individualized approach to every patient.

Diseases and Conditions

Radiological methods are used for the diagnosis and follow-up of:

  • Tumors and oncological diseases
  • Injuries and trauma, including fractures and bleeding
  • Diseases of the brain and nervous system
  • Diseases of the lungs and heart
  • Abdominal and urogenital diseases
  • Musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints, spine, and muscles
  • Vascular diseases
  • Infections and inflammatory processes

Diagnostic Methods

X-ray Imaging

A basic and widely available method that uses X-rays to visualize bones, lungs, and certain organs.

It is used for:

  • Detection of fractures and degenerative changes
  • Assessment of the lungs in infections and pleural effusions
  • Diagnosis of spinal and joint conditions
  • Follow-up of chronic diseases

The examination is quick, takes only a few seconds, and is painless.

Computed Tomography (CT)

A modern method that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.

CT enables:

  • Precise diagnosis of tumors, infections, and inflammation
  • Detection of injuries and bleeding
  • Analysis of organs, including the brain, lungs, heart, abdomen, and pelvis
  • Follow-up of treatment effects

The examination takes only a few minutes and may include contrast material for better visualization.

CT uses a controlled dose of radiation and is performed only when medically justified.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

An advanced diagnostic method that uses a magnetic field and radio waves, without ionizing radiation.

MRI provides high-precision analysis of:

  • Brain and nervous system – tumors, stroke, bleeding
  • Spine – disc herniation and spinal stenosis
  • Joints and soft tissues
  • Abdominal and pelvic organs
  • Vascular structures through MR angiography

Advanced MRI Techniques

  • DWI (Diffusion-Weighted Imaging) – early detection of stroke
  • Perfusion imaging – assessment of tissue at risk
  • Spectroscopy – analysis of tissue composition
  • Fiber tracking – visualization of neural pathways

MRI provides information that may not be visible with other imaging methods.

Ultrasound Diagnostics

A method that uses sound waves to visualize organs in real time.

It is used for examination of:

  • Abdominal organs
  • Thyroid gland
  • Urogenital system
  • Soft tissues
  • Breast

Ultrasound is a safe method, without radiation, and is also suitable for pregnant patients.

Breast Imaging

The department provides comprehensive breast diagnostics:

  • Breast ultrasound – detection of cysts and breast changes
  • Digital mammography (2D) – detection of microcalcifications
  • 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) – clearer analysis and earlier detection of breast cancer
  • Breast MRI – detailed assessment of tumors and disease extent
  • Ultrasound-guided biopsy (fine needle aspiration and core biopsy) – tissue sampling for further analysis

Interventional Radiology

Minimally invasive procedures performed under radiological guidance for both diagnosis and treatment.

These include:

  • Biopsies and drainage procedures
  • Vascular interventions
  • Therapeutic procedures

Interventional radiology allows treatment without conventional surgery and supports faster recovery.

Osteodensitometry (DEXA scan)

Gold standard for measuring bone density and assessing fracture risk.

Technology and Equipment

The department is equipped with advanced diagnostic technology:

  • Digital X-ray systems
  • Multislice CT systems
  • MRI with advanced sequences
  • High-resolution ultrasound systems
  • Angiography equipment for interventional procedures

These technologies provide:

  • High precision
  • Early detection of disease
  • Minimally invasive approaches
  • Greater patient safety

Preparation and What to Expect

  • Some examinations may require fasting.
  • Metal objects should be removed before imaging.
  • Patients should inform the staff about medications or medical conditions.
  • CT and MRI examinations may sometimes require contrast material.
  • It is important to remain still during the examination.

Safety

  • CT uses a controlled dose of radiation and is performed only when necessary.
  • MRI does not use radiation and is considered a safe method.
  • Contrast agents are used under medical supervision.
  • Every examination is performed with maximum attention to patient safety.
