It is a fast and painless test that generates images of the body structure, especially of the bones.
A set of X-Ray go through the body and are absorber in different quantity depending on the material’s density in which they go by. Dense materials as bones and metals appear white in the radiography. Lungs’ air appears in black. The fat and muscle appear as grey shadows.
In some types of radiology, a contrast media is administrated (iodine or barium) to observe parts of the body that in natural conditions x-rays will penetrate.
Contrast radiology is a conventional radiological technic that employs contrast media, particularly a dye-iode or barium that is opaque to the X-ray.
Contrast radiology allows to study appearance and performance of the inside of the body
What does it consist of?
This technic allows to study shapes and functions of different structures of the human body. It is used a fluorescence screen with X-rays and a contrast media or opaque substance. This is introduced, depending on each case, and it allows the evaluation of the structures.
Contrast radiography is used to detect the presence of a variety of conditions, such as ulcers, stones, benign tumours, malignant tumours and inflammatory processes and for completing postoperative evaluations.
Oral and maxillofacial radiology is the speciality of dentistry and discipline of radiology concerned with the production and interpretation of images and data produced by all modalities of radiant energy that are used for the diagnosis and management of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Mammography is a special type of breast radiology. The mammographies show pathologies earlier than they have a considerate size so that the doctor or you can appreciate them.
It is advisable that women that are 40 years old and above, undergo a mammography every year or two, maximum. It is also recommended for women younger than this age who has a major risk of developing the disease by their type of breast or by any family precedent.
Echography is a process that allows us to obtain images from the structures of the body through high-frequency sound waves. In contrast to radiography, an echography does not generate radiation.
Usually, the echography is throughout the skin, the doctor applies a special gel that, in contact with the probe, generates images that are visualised on a screen.
Densitometry quantifies bone mineral density; after comparing reference values like age, weight, gender and racial-ethnic background, it is offered a diagnostic. This information will be used by your doctor to determine or discard any possible weakens on your bones (osteoporosis) and recognize any possible chance of suffering fractures.
The measure of the bone mineral density, redoing in some occasions the densitometry, is used to assess changes in the skeleton and the efficiency of the treatment. It is also useful to know the body composition (fat, bone tissue and fat tissue)
This exploration is the easiest and safest. It is only required that the patient lays down and allows the professional to do the required measure.
Axial tomography-computed scan (CT) is a diagnostic test to create detailed images of the internal organs, bones, soft tissues and blood vessels.
It is a medical test that reproduces multiple images of the inside of the body. Through a screen connected to X-ray equipment, we can visualize detailed imaging of the body. It is a painless process and a precise and non-invasive technique.
It allows to obtain detailed images of the organs and tissues so that to detect with easier and precise possible abnormalities or diseases.
Our centre has the most technology to ensure that our patients have a quick and precise diagnose so that they can be approached with the best results.
Magnetic resonance imaging is an imaging test that uses a magnetic field and computer radio waves generated to create organ and body tissue’s images.
It is used to detect a variety of infections: Neurological disorders, spinal cord. Skeleton, thorax, lungs, abdomen, pelvis, wrist, hands, ankles and feet.
We offer any sort of resonances that specialists may need:

Vascular diagnosis is used to analyse the bloodstream in the arteries and veins. It is an important examination to carry out, successfully, practically all diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of vascular pathologies and conclude if surgery is needed.
It is used an ultrasound emission’s device (Doppler ultrasonography) that, throughout a transducer, creates images of different parts of the body as waves that arrive in the arteries and veins and bounce in the blood cells.
Vascular diagnosis: Every Tuesday, our centre’s specialists are available to attend to the patients and do a diagnosis to them.
In case that the specialist recommends a sample’s extraction for a laboratory examination, it will be undergone by a professional in the centre.
The most frequent sample’s extractions are breast, thyroid and prostate. We ensure to take those samples to the laboratory for their analysis. The results them will arrive directly to the patient.
