Sciagraphy

is a basic radiological examination performed in outpatient and inpatient facilities, indicated and acute. It is based on the principle of different absorption and scattering of X-rays in individual tissues of the human body in the direction of the focal point - image receiver. The resulting image then provides clear information about the structures under observation, which are the skeleton, soft tissues and structures with contrast agent filling. The scanning imaging system enables high contrast and high spatial resolution imaging with the possibility of achieving low radiation burden to the patient.

 Contraindications to the examination

• Pregnancy.
• An uncooperative patient.
