Abstract:
The data on such highly-effective invasive diagnostico-therapeutic procedures as ductography, sclerosing-solution cystography, X-ray-controled puncture biopsy, stereotactical computer technique, sonography and preoperative maging of nonpalpable lesions were analyzed following a complex mammographic examination of 20,000 patients with different breast pathologies. Advantages offered by complex breast examination are discussed. Among them were the use of optimal effects of each invasive procedure, an accuracy of preoperative diagnosis reaching 95-98% (nonpalpable breast lesions included) and a significantly reduced extent of breast surgery.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
