IMAGERY
The CT-Scanner
The scanner is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses a combination of graphics and computer technology to produce horizontal or axial images of the body.
The scanner uses X-rays and computer technology to take detailed pictures of the organs and structures inside your chest. These images are more detailed than X-rays. The images can provide more information about injuries or diseases of the chest organs.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive medical examination that helps doctors diagnose various diseases.
RM uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs, soft tissues, bones, and virtually all other internal body structures. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays). Detailed MR images allow the doctor to better evaluate body parts and specific diseases that cannot be adequately determined by other imaging methods such as X-rays, ultrasound or computed tomography (also called CT).
WHAT ARE SOME COMMON USES OF THE PROCEDURE?
Rezonanca Magnetike gjithashtu përdoret për të diagnostikuar:
- Diseases of the organs of the abdomen (liver, kidneys, pancreas, lymph nodes, spleen, etc.
- Diseases of the heart, coronary arteries, aorta, cardiac structures and walls without excluding an assessment of damage caused by myocardial infarction or progressive heart disease.
- Angio MR for the assessment of blood vessels throughout the body.
- Detailed assessment of biliary and intra- and extrahepatic bile duct and pancreatic pathologies (MRCP) as an alternative to invasive ERCP.
- A very detailed assessment compared to all other imaging examinations of cerebral tissue and spinal cord in both anatomical and functional changes.
- MRI has priority in evaluating the finer structures of joints including ligaments, joint capsules and intra-articular fluid.
- It provides important information on the anatomical functional pathologies of the organs of sexual reproduction such as the uterus, ovaries and testicles.
- The contrast material used in MRI examinations is less likely to produce allergic reactions than the iodine-based contrasts used in other radiological examinations.
The Risks
- Magnetic Resonance does not pose any risk to the patient when appropriate safety instructions are followed.
- If sedation is used, there may be a risk of sedation overdose. The technologist or nurse monitors your vital signs to minimize risk.
- Although the strong magnetic field is not harmful in itself, devices such as prostheses, stents, etc. Metals not suitable for MR can be displaced during the examination, causing serious health problems, therefore a good preliminary anamnesis is made for the presence of foreign bodies in the body.
- There is a very small risk of allergic reaction if contrast material is injected. Such reactions are usually mild and well controlled by medication.
