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?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to look closely at the internal structures of the body. Although MRI is a painless procedure, it requires adequate preparation and the patient’s cooperation. Here are detailed guidelines to help you prepare for the scan and minimise the stress involved.

Computed tomography, or CT for short, is one of the greatest advances in radiological diagnostics. By combining X-rays with state-of-the-art equipment and information technology, it produces precise images of internal organs and bones, providing the detailed and accurate data needed to make a proper diagnosis.

Magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRCP) is an advanced medical imaging technique that allows detailed analysis of the bile ducts. It is very useful in diagnosing various diseases of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. What does cholangiography look like in practice?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the safest and most advanced diagnostic tools in modern medicine, but its use during pregnancy raises many questions. Is it safe to have an MRI scan during pregnancy?
