X-ray diagnosis

Modern digital X-ray equipment RADSpeed developed by Japanese scientists and engineers and manufactured by MF SHIMADZU CORPORATION in 2009 allows making X-ray without harm to health up to 6 times a year, because during the examination a patient receives the radiation dose of 10-15 times less than with older X-ray units.

The advantage is that you do not need to buy the film and spend time on its development. Previously, 10-12 images out of 100 were of poor quality: either the laboratory assistant kept it too long in the solution, or the developer was old, or the solution was cold or the film was defective. And the patient was referred for the re-examination, thus for another irradiation dose. Now this is practically an exception. The computer allows directing light to a particular area, enlarging it by 5-10 times or making a positive: the human eye better recognizes pathology in the positive than in the negative. In difficult cases, the image can be sent via the Internet to a medical specialist in any other health facility for additional consultation.

These are pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, tuberculosis, lung cancer. The images show very well the skeletal system of the chest, heart disease and cardiovascular disease. At least ten people out of 100 are referred to a cardiologist or to a cardiac surgeon after X-ray examination. The X-ray image will help a gastroenterologist to diagnose the diaphragmatic hernia, the pediatrician - the curvature of the spine. The endocrinologist will get an answer as to whether this is thyroid or thymic disease. A digital device allows a radiologist to see thickening of 2-3 mm and diagnose tumor at an early stage. The X-ray unit allows using a contrast medium for examining organs of the urinary system (urography, urinary cystography), digestive organs (irrigography for the large and small intestine).

Use of the older X-ray unit was allowed for children after 14 years. The digital device reduces the radiation load. Besides, only one millisecond is enough to receive a quality image for a thin child. All you need to do is to persuade the child to remain still, not to cry and stay on the X-ray unit platform.

X-ray examinations are performed only by a written referral from a doctor of the Dobrobut Medical Network or other health facility. It should be certified by the seal of a doctor or the health facility. To book for the X-ray examination, please, call the Dobrobut MN Contact Center.
