Hepatoradiography is a liver examination method that combines radiography and radiodiagnostics. This method allows you to obtain information about the condition of the liver and its vessels, as well as the presence of tumors and other pathologies.
To perform hepatoradiography, special equipment is used, which allows one to obtain images of the liver with high accuracy. The examination is carried out in a supine position with arms raised up. Before the procedure begins, the patient is injected with a contrast agent, which allows better visualization of the liver.
After administration of the contrast agent, the patient remains in a motionless position for several minutes so that the substance has time to distribute throughout the liver vessels. Then an x-ray is performed, which provides an image of the liver and its vessels.
Hepatoriography is one of the most accurate methods for diagnosing liver diseases. It allows you to identify tumors, cysts, abscesses, cirrhosis and other pathologies. In addition, hepatoradiography allows you to assess the condition of the liver vessels and identify the presence of thrombosis, embolism and other diseases.
However, like any other diagnostic method, hepatoriography has its limitations. For example, it does not provide information about the structure of the liver, nor does it allow tissue biopsy. In addition, some patients may experience discomfort during the procedure.
In general, hepatoradiography is an important method for diagnosing liver diseases and allows us to obtain the most accurate information about its condition. However, before conducting this study, you should consult your doctor and discuss all possible risks and contraindications.
