Radiography
X-ray examination, or radiography, is a type of imaging study where a medical specialist uses two-dimensional or three-dimensional images to diagnose diseases that are either impossible or difficult to detect through other examination methods. X-ray examination (fluoroscopy) is used to study a number of organ systems, such as:
- Musculoskeletal (bones, joints)
- Respiratory (lungs, bronchi)
- Gastrointestinal (esophagus, stomach, intestines)
- Genitourinary (renal pyelocaliceal system, bladder, urinary tract)
X-ray examination has been in use since the 19th century when the first X-ray films were produced. Today, thanks to modern scientific and technological progress, X-ray equipment has been developed that not only allows for real-time examination (fluoroscopy) but also provides high-quality images, which are crucial for both the diagnostic specialist and the attending physician. Despite the fact that new diagnostic tools (MRI, CT, sonography) provide increasingly unique and accurate results every year, X-ray examination does not lose its primary and vital role in diagnostic medicine. Being a fast, simple, and accessible method, it provides essential conclusions in a short time. Ashtarak Medical Center is equipped with the latest generation of X-ray machines, through which a full range of examinations is carried out.
