Imaging examinations and procedures

Imaging is used to study the human body using various methods. Imaging can consist of taking images, but it can also include, for example, measurements of the functions of the body, brain, or nervous system. Imaging is also used as an aid in guiding procedures and providing cancer treatments. 

A physician will assess whether the examination is necessary as a whole. Imaging examinations can be used to diagnose or exclude various diseases and, if necessary, to plan effective treatment.

The most common imaging studies are X-ray examinations, MRI scans, and ultrasound scans.  

With the procedures performed by imaging specialists, or radiologists, we can support surgery and partially replace vascular surgery. Radiologists can perform, for example, balloon dilatation procedures. In these procedures, they utilize imaging equipment or methods to assist them.
