Modern diagnostic methods

Today, there are various methods for diagnosing all diseases. First you need to consult a doctor and determine the problem, and only then resort to the diagnosis of the disease.

Modern diagnostic methods:

  1. The most common method is ultrasound. Ultrasound is a painless imaging technique. The principle of operation is based on the reflection of beams, which can vary depending on the nature and density of the medium being studied. Radiation diagnostic methods are the most accurate and reliable in detecting many types of the disease at the earliest stages, which will immediately cure and prevent the development of the disease.
  2. Endoscopy This is a method of examining and examining certain internal organs using an endoscope. This allows you to determine the visual diagnosis using a video camera, which is mounted on the end of the tube called an endoscope. Such an examination will help determine damage to the intestines, esophagus and stomach. Currently, several types of endoscopy are distinguished: bronchoscopy - detection of bronchial diseases; hysteroscopy - examination of the uterus; gastroscopy - examination of the stomach; laparoscopy - of the abdominal cavity; angioscopy - examination of blood vessels; cystoscopy - examination of the bladder; arthroscopy - examination of the joints; thoracoscopy - examination of the chest cavity; ventriculoscopy - examination of the ventricles of the brain, etc.
  3. Computed tomography consists in using the latest scanner, which allows you to create an image in three dimensions. The image can be read on any device.
  4. Colonoscopy This method is a visual examination that helps to identify lesions of the colon. This is necessary for the doctor to diagnose cancer and to determine the cause of the symptoms of your disease. This is the most common method for studying the colon at present.
  5. Doppler scanning is intended primarily for the study of blood circulation in arteries and veins. This scan does not use x-rays. The Doppler method is carried out without invading the body in any way, including surgical. This diagnostic method is the most reliable and convenient, and it is also considered the most advanced in the field of vascular disease research.

The Doppler method is actively used in other areas:

- with permeability of blood vessels;

- in the presence of stenosis;

- during rejection of the implant;

- with increased vascularization.

6. MRI. Magnetic resonance imaging - this method consists in examining internal organs using a magnetic field and radio waves that act on a person and introduce him into a resonant state. The return of a person to his normal state leads to the formation of a certain signal. During the study, this signal is recorded in the computer and with its help you can get a picture of different parts of the body.

These diagnostic methods are the most common in modern medicine. It is with the help of these studies that you can identify a disease at an earlier stage and cure it without loss to the body.

But not all diagnostic methods can be used, for example, during pregnancy. Studies that are carried out using x-rays can lead to negative consequences in the development of the fetus. The most basic methods for diagnosing pregnancy are ultrasound and urinalysis. This study helps to determine pregnancy at an early stage, however, its main task is to identify any problems in the development of the fetus and internal organs.
