Imaging Services
In modern medicine, the first and most important step to successful treatment is an accurate and complete diagnosis of the disease. Imaging services, which allow monitoring the internal structure of the body with high-resolution technologies without surgical intervention, are the “eyes” of modern medicine. These processes, managed by radiology specialists, directly increase the success of treatment by enabling the detection of diseases at an early stage. These unsung heroes of diagnostics are the most trusted guides in patients’ treatment journey.
Major Imaging Methods and Areas of Use
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create a detailed map of the body. Radiation free.
- Computed Tomography (CT): Creates a cross-sectional, three-dimensional image of the body. It provides fast results in a wide range of conditions, from bone fractures to injuries in internal organs, from lung diseases to vascular blockages.
- Ultrasonography (USG): Works with high-frequency sound waves and does not emit radiation. In addition to pregnancy monitoring, it is widely used to examine intra-abdominal organs, thyroid glands and breast tissue.
- Mammography: Examination of breast tissue with low-dose X-rays. It is vital in the early detection of breast cancer.
- Bone Densitometry: A quick and painless method of determining bone mineral density used to measure the risk of osteoporosis.
Thanks to advances in technology, much higher resolution images can now be obtained with much lower radiation rates.
