Examination

MRI scan

• Examination, which uses strong magnetic field
• Safe, painless examination, which can scan the structure of the organs into the smallest details. MRI has significance especially in neurological, orthopedic, oncologic and other diseases.
• MRI scans without x-rays or other ionizing radiation, which can be potentially dangerous.

CSH PACS

We use the newest version – 11.1 of Power Viewer in our Carestream PACS, which allows us to make multiplanar reconstructions (mIP, MIP) and virtual reconstructions (VRT).

We are able to search, watch and analyze venous translucence with the mapping of the function of the veins.

We are able to make fusions of pictures and not only in the frame of our MRI modality, but also between modalities of MRI and CT, thanks to our license of volume comparison.

We also have the possibility to visually define the tissue.

This all, with the help of patented workflows of the CSH, helps to refine diagnosis and accelerates the treatment.
