Pelvic CT scan – what is it, who is it for and how should I prepare?

2024/07/23

A pelvic computed tomography scan is an advanced imaging test that uses X-rays and computer data processing to enable a detailed assessment of pelvic structures including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments as well as internal organs such as the bladder, uterus, ovaries and prostate. It is a key diagnostic tool that can detect damage and various pathological conditions potentially affecting the function of the pelvis and surrounding structures.

Breast MRI – indications, what does it look like, how to prepare for the scan and how long does a MRI scan take?

2024/07/23

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a key medical diagnostic tool enabling detailed evaluation of breast tissues and structures. Thanks to its high resolution and ability to acquire images in different planes, breast MRI enables lesions to be accurately located, tumours to be identified and their characteristics to be evaluated as well as treatment response to be monitored. This is especially important for detecting breast cancer in early stages, which in turn can increase the effectiveness of treatment and improve patient outcomes.

CT colonography – what is it, who is it for and how should I prepare?

2024/07/23

CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, is an advanced imaging test that provides a detailed assessment of the inside of the colon. Using X-rays and computer data processing, CT colonography produces 3D images of the colon, allowing its structure and function to be accurately assessed. This examination is invaluable in diagnosing various pathological conditions such as polyps, tumours, diverticula or other structural abnormalities of the colon.
