Rettonostereoscopy, or X-ray stereoscopy, is a fluoroscopy method that uses stereoscopic effects to evaluate the structure of tissues, organs and body systems. It helps in diagnosing diseases associated with disorders of the vascular system and blood circulation, internal organs, and bone tissue.
A rettonostereoscope is a special device that combines the functions of a conventional X-ray machine and a computer program that allows you to see a three-dimensional model of the organ under study. The principle of operation of the device is that an X-ray beam passes through the tissue being examined, hits two parallel screens (usually curved), and then the image is transmitted to a computer screen monitor for further analysis.
To obtain a three-dimensional image, different approaches are used, depending on the specific examination task and its features. Depending on the device, it is possible to obtain images in different planes, as well as computed tomography of several cross-sectional levels. Visualization of tissues using infrared rays is also possible.
During the examination of the patient using rettonostereoscopy, the obtained images are compared with previous analyzes and medical histories. This procedure allows you to quickly and accurately assess the condition of tissues and organs, identify diseases in the early stages of their development, and carry out effective treatment.
