[The technical support of mammography]
Abstract:
The paper deals with the basic elements of up-to-date hardware for mammography, which determine the quality of X-ray diagnosis of breast diseases. With small-dose dosages, highly-informative images can be obtained by both perfect equipment and image visualization means, including intensifying screens and films, cassettes that measure respective exposures, absorbed doses and check up the conclusions made while analyzing clinical cases. Recommendations are given for choosing a screen-film system and cassettes of various firms and working conditions of photo laboratories in mammographic rooms by taking into account the specific features of manual and automatic film development. Main causes of obtaining a defective mammogram are considered.

X-ray Imaging
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
