Sacrum x-ray is a radiography examination carried out to assess the state of the bone structures of this anatomical formation. It is prescribed for suspected sacral fracture, developmental abnormalities, certain diseases and pains of unclear etiology. The standard examination is performed in two projections (straight and lateral). A direct picture is taken in a supine position…
Coccyx x-ray is a method of radiation diagnostics of the lower spine. It is prescribed for suspected fractures of the coccygeal vertebrae, may be required in the case of proctalgia, coccygodynia and pelvic pain of unclear genesis. The standard study is performed in two projections (straight and lateral). In order to take a direct picture…
Lumbar spine x-ray is an radiography method of examining the bone structures of the spinal column. The technique allows us to conclude about the density of bone tissue, the state of the cortical layer, the relative position of bone structures, the symmetry and integrity of individual vertebrae, the shape of the spine, the presence or…
Thoracic spine x-ray is an radiography examination shown in case of suspected fractures of the thoracic vertebrae, degenerative-dystrophic processes, malformations and neoplasia of this part of the spinal column. The standard study is performed in two projections (straight and lateral). In some cases, X-rays are additionally prescribed in an oblique projection. X-ray in a direct…
Cervical spine x-ray is a radiography examination of the lower cervical (with the exception of I-II) and upper thoracic vertebrae. It is indicated for suspected fractures of the III-VII cervical vertebrae, developmental anomalies, degenerative-dystrophic and tumor processes. It is performed in two projections (straight and lateral), if necessary, additional (oblique) projections are assigned. Indications Before…
Spondylography is a study of the bones and joints of the spinal column throughout. It provides information about the condition and structure of the vertebrae, assess the distance between the vertebrae, study their processes, intervertebral joints and openings, determine the mobility of individual vertebral segments, the nature and degree of curvature of the spine. The…
Myelography is a contrast X-ray examination of the subarachnoid (subarachnoid) space of the spinal cord. The technique is prescribed for symptoms of compression of the spinal cord or its roots of unclear etiology, suspicion of syringomyelia, arachnoiditis, malignant and benign neoplasia, and some other diseases. The study can be ascending or descending, in the first…
Discography spine is an X-ray examination of the intervertebral disc using contrast. It is used to clarify the cause of pain of unclear genesis, to assess the condition of the discs in cases of multiple lesions, to conduct differential diagnosis between various disc pathologies, to determine indications for surgical intervention, to draw up an operation…
Hip joint x-ray is a radiography examination conducted to assess the condition of the acetabulum of the ilium, the head, neck and the area of the trochanter of the femur. In traumatology, it is used in cases of suspected fracture of the femoral head and neck, transvertebral and intervertebral fracture, separation of the large trochanter or…
Shoulder joint x-ray is an radiography examination shown in case of suspected fractures and dislocations of the humerus, degenerative-dystrophic processes, developmental anomalies and bulky formations. Usually, the study is performed in two projections (straight and lateral), if necessary, additional (oblique) projections are assigned. The procedure is carried out without preparation in a hospital or outpatient…
