Tomoscanning

Tomography or tomoscanning. These are the most complex diagnostic methods in radiology. They are used to identify diseases far from the first stage of development.

Tomography is a layer-by-layer scan of the patient. Used in the study of internal organs. The obtained data is processed electronically, so that a three-dimensional image of areas of interest is built based on the results. The most common types of this method are computer and magnetic resonance imaging (CT and MRI).

There are some advantages of CT and MRI:

* relatively small radiation dose, especially during computer research; * absence of discomfort and pain; * unambiguous interpretation of the results, which is determined by the presence of several types of scans (T1, T2, T3, etc.).

It is worth noting that even with the help of CT, low-information images can be obtained. They will be distorted because the resulting image is not the final one. In addition, in some cases, when scanning tissues with homogeneous indicators, diagnostic information may be insufficient.
