X-ray olienoportography

X-ray spleen portography is an X-ray method for studying the spleen and splenic blood flow with contrasting the vessels of the spleen.

The essence of the method is the introduction of a radiopaque substance into the splenic artery and subsequent X-ray filming of the organ. This allows you to obtain an image of the vascular pattern of the spleen and assess the state of blood flow in it.

Indications for X-ray lienoportography are suspicions of splenic tumors, splenic injuries, varicose veins of the spleen, as well as to clarify the nature of pathological changes identified by other methods.

When analyzing x-ray spleen portograms, the size and shape of the spleen, the condition of its capsule, the structure of the parenchyma, the course and number of great vessels are assessed. The technique is safe and informative, but is currently used quite rarely due to the development of more modern visualization technologies.

X-ray olioenterography is a special X-ray study designed to study the condition of the lymph nodes and other organs of the abdominal cavity, the condition of which is studied only when they are persistently dilated. This study is a non-invasive version of computed tomography. X-ray olioenterography allows you to diagnose tumor processes in the area of ​​the lymphatic tract, and also reveals adhesions, local peritonitis, location anomalies, and structural changes in the intestine. Fluoroscopy is used to identify the initial stages of the inflammatory process, pathological changes in the structure of internal organs, polypous formations, diverticula, and cysts.
