[Radiokinetocariography--a noninvasive introscopic method of studying the function of the right ventricle in patients
Abstract:
Registration of the reflected SHF electromagnetic waves directed to cardiac chambers served the basis for a new technique of cardiokinetoradiography (CKRG) described in the present paper. The technique promotes a phasic analysis of the right heart (RH) performance, evaluation of the RH anterior wall rate and an indirect estimation of the systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery. Prolonged relaxation including isometric relaxation, elevated Mancini isovolumic index are suggested to be early subclinical signs of the RH dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis. With growing RH insufficiency, changes in the phase structure increase, whereas the velocity of the RH anterior wall motion slows down.

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...
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...

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
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...
