Diagnostic radiology is usually used to take an image of the internal organs of the body which are assumed to have some abnormalities. There are different diagnostic radiology techniques that have emerged today to improve the medical technology scenario. There is X-Ray radiology which is advised to do when you have some fractures in the bones. CT Angiogram and MRI radiology are advised when the patients are in a critical condition and have acute problems.
After an accident, patients are usually advised by their physicians to do X-Ray radiology. X-Ray radiology enables doctors to see beyond what they can, as it gives them a look at the internal condition of the body after the accident and detect if any abnormal conditions have occurred. If any bones are fractured, then doctors can see that with the help of X-Ray radiology and treat for the fractures. In X-Ray plates, the bones are viewed as white structures. There is also another technique known as ultrasound which basically helps to scan the abdomen and stomach.
CT Angiogram is a diagnostic radiology technique with the help of which doctors can detect diseases in their early stages. CT Angiogram does not use electromagnetic radiation. So it is much safer than X-Ray radiology. CT Angiogram produces much clearer and three dimensional images of the internal organs of the human body. If you experience the slightest symptoms of any type of cancer or any other disease, then please go for a CT Angiogram at the earliest possible minute. CT Angiogram might be a bit costlier than X-Ray radiology but your health is much more precious to you.
CT Angiogram is performed with the help of a contrasting agent. This agent is injected in human body. Some of the patients are given this agent orally or via the rectum. This agent goes into the body and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis helps to deliver clear images of the internal organs and blood vessels. Some of patients experience nausea when they are given this agent orally. But the percentage of these patients is very small. You should always consult a doctor before a CT Angiogram.
MRI radiology has advanced a great deal in these few years. This technique of diagnostic radiology can take clearer images and at a faster pace too. Today stronger magnets are being used to MRI radiology scans. There have been many improvements in the magnetic coil designs and the hardware of the scanning machine. With the help of MRI Radiology technique, you can get the minutest details of your brain structure. The blood vessels and the heart structure can also be viewed with the help of this technology.
During any operation, it is very convenient to see the internal condition of the human body and it is easier for doctors to carry on any operation. Fluoroscopy has solved this problem. With the help of fluoroscopy, doctors these days can start injecting patients with the right quanitity of medicine or agent in the right vein. With the help of fluoroscopy, doctors can get rid of the clots in blood vessels and perform angioplasty.
