Despite the emergence of such new and advanced technologies as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the X-ray method of diagnostics stays leading in the diagnosis of many diseases because of it swiftness and simplicity of implementation that does not require special preparation of the patient.
It is also important for patients the availability of this diagnostic method, its high informative results and low cost.
X-ray examination of the organs allows to specify their form, position, tonus, peristaltics, the state of the relief of mucus membrane.
In X-ray Department of MC Erebouni are carried out:
• X-ray exam of the gastrointestinal tract
• X-ray exam of biliary tract
• Chest X-ray
• X-ray examination of the spine
• X-ray examination of different parts of musculoskeletal system
• X-ray of urinary tract
• Contrast X-ray examination of uterus and the patency of fallopian tubes- hysterography
X-ray examination of the breast – mammography
In general, there is no need for special preparation of the patients for X-ray examination except the exam of digestive system.
Digital X-ray equipment of the Department allows very quickly obtain the digital images, which significantly shortens the time of waiting of the result, reduces radiation exposure, and increases the quality of images.
Department of X-ray diagnostics of Erebouni Medical Centre is equipped with the high quality medical equipment that ensures the radiation safety and high diagnostic capability.
X-ray diagnostic system Multix PRO/TO, Axiom Multix, and also fluoroscopic device Luminos R Classic of Siemens give the opportunity to obtain the high quality results. The study is accompanied with the low dose of radiation.
At the request the patient receives the image on the CD, and also target X-ray images (at the case of scope).
Photo laboratory of X-ray service is equipped with mechanical and digital machines that give the opportunity to receive the high quality images very quickly. As result the doctors are able in very short time give their resolutions and conclusions regarding the patient diagnoses.
- X-ray diagnostic system Multix PRO / TO, Axiom Multix
- fluoroscopic unit Luminos R Classic from Siemens
- Densitometer - Hologic QDR 4500 Elite Acclaim Series
The priority directions of the department activity are:
- X-ray and fluoroscopic study of the chest,
- Studies of bone and joints
At the department had been developed the additional device-adaptor to the X-ray machine for axial images of the joints, which makes possible better visualize the femoral-patellar slot , which is inaccessible in standard projections.
- Scoping Study of the gastrointestinal tract, oral contrast dynamic study, irrigoradiography,
- X-ray study of the skull: target X-ray images of skull bones,
- X-ray study of the spine with functional tests,
- X-ray diagnosis of urinary tract (scoping study, intravenous excretory urography, cystography),
- Hysterosalpingography, fistulography, X-ray osteodensitometry.
