Abdominal computed tomography (abdominal CT scan) is an advanced radiological examination that allows detailed imaging of the internal structures of the abdominal cavity.

The shoulder and shoulder girdle are complex structures that may sustain many different types of injuries. A shoulder CT scan makes it possible to diagnose all kinds of abnormalities occurring in the shoulder joint, involving both bones and soft tissues, muscles, joints, ligaments or veins. Importantly, it is a quick, painless and non-invasive examination, which allows precise diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutic effects.

Diagnosing urinary tract disorders has become much easier thanks to advanced diagnostic techniques, one of which is CT urography. Using contrast-enhanced computed tomography, CT urography allows doctors to accurately assess the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a major advance in medical diagnostic imaging. By providing detailed 3D images of blood vessels throughout the body, CTA has revolutionised the way doctors diagnose and plan treatment for many vascular diseases. This non-invasive method, which provides accurate and rapid results, has been embraced by both specialists and patients seeking a safe and effective diagnosis.

Modern medical diagnostics very often involves imaging tests in which contrast media play an important role. These special substances are used to improve the quality of MR or CT images and allow more accurate imaging of the body’s internal structures. What exactly are contrast agents? How do they work and what are their risks and limitations?
