Cinefluorography

While traditional X-ray fluorography provides an image of the entire body (excluding the chest organs - the heart, lungs, diaphragm, but including the spine and neck), there is also a method called MRI of the chest - magnetic resonance imaging of the chest. MRI and radiography are one of the safest methods for studying the structure and functioning of organs in the body. The patient does not need to undress or take a contrast agent, he can get out of bed immediately after the MRI, and the results of the study are not affected by the presence of ferromagnets in the body. CT scan, or computed tomography, makes these two existing methods of examining the chest organs even safer, since the patient does not have to be motionless during the filming, as in an MRI.

Due to the presence of a device better known in Russian as "X-ray", the expression "to take a picture" for chest x-rays fairly corresponds to the Russian word "to take a picture" - as in, "together" or "separately". In an MRI or CT scan, the procedure is correctly referred to as obtaining a “scan” (“image”) or “images,” respectively. The term from the field using radioactive substances "photography" does not correspond to any of the methods.

The ability of the MRI diagnostic method to accurately identify areas with abnormal blood flow deserves special attention. Stories comparing MRI findings with ultrasound examinations of blood vessels have become widespread. The MRI method works equally well with patients regardless of whether there is atherosclerotic plaque on the vessels or not. X-ray, ultrasound, ECG and ultrasound of blood vessels do not have high accuracy at the stage of diagnosing atherosclerosis. MRI is better suited to assess the condition of the vascular system. Therefore, the clinic provides professional diagnostics of heart and vascular diseases using specialists with many years of experience and precise, high-precision diagnostic equipment. If a detailed assessment of blood flow is necessary for various diseases, the doctor will refer the patient for an MRI of blood vessels (arteries and veins). CT and MRI of the cardiovascular system are, in principle, carried out using the same method, which is based on different frequencies of radio waves. As a result, during CT and MRI, the vessels of the neck and head receive maximum compression or stretching.

Modern CT and MRI methods make it possible to describe the condition of the vessels, the degree of their filling, size indicators, track where aneurysms have formed (pathological expansion), and assess the condition of the extent to which the vascular wall is affected. The study is carried out by both adults and children. The examinations are completely painless, which is especially
