Impact X-ray (Interventional Radiology)

Interventional radiology is a treatment method that uses radiological effects for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, under the direct supervision of a radiologist. This technique is used during various procedures such as coronary angioplasty, percutaneous cholangioscopy and nephrolithotomy.

Coronary angioplasty is a procedure in which special materials are injected into the coronary arteries to help widen their lumen and improve blood flow. During this procedure, X-ray exposure is used.

Percutaneous cholangioscopy is a diagnostic method in which a thin tube is inserted through the skin and the bile ducts are examined. In this case, X-ray exposure is also used to monitor the progress of the procedure and avoid possible complications.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is an operation in which stones are removed from the kidneys through the skin. During this process, X-ray exposure is also used to monitor the procedure.

X-ray exposure has a number of advantages over other treatment methods, such as surgery. It allows procedures to be performed without major tissue damage and with minimal risks to the patient. In addition, the use of X-ray exposure allows you to quickly and accurately assess the results of the procedure and adjust its progress if necessary.

However, like any other treatment method, X-ray exposure may have its risks and side effects. Therefore, before the procedure, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and choose the optimal treatment method, taking into account his individual characteristics.

Interventional radiology is the use of radiological influences (X-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging) for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, which can be carried out under direct X-ray supervision. This method is used during operations that require minimal tissue damage, such as coronary angiopathy, identifying the location of bile duct blockage (percutaneous cholangioscopy), and removing kidney stones (percutaneous nephrolithoscopy).
