RADIOLOGY
Radiology is a crucial branch of medicine that uses X-rays for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This method is one of the primary tools in medical imaging, allowing physicians to obtain images of the body's internal structures, including bones, organs, and tissues. Radiology covers a wide range of procedures that not only help doctors identify diseases and pathologies but also monitor their development and the effectiveness of treatment. Modern radiological methods are characterized by high precision and minimal impact on the patient's body, making them indispensable in diagnosing various conditions.
Services
X-ray
This traditional visualization method uses X-rays to obtain images of bones and certain soft tissues. Radiography is particularly useful for diagnosing fractures, infections, and anomalies in bone structure.
CT Scan
Computed Tomography (CT) provides more detailed images than conventional X-rays. This method is used to evaluate complex body structures, including organs, vessels, and tissues, and allows for the detection of even minor abnormalities.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is an advanced imaging technology that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, such as the brain, muscles, joints, and internal organs. MRI is frequently used to diagnose tumors, ligament damage, neurological disorders, and other pathologies.
Echography
Also known as ultrasonography, echography uses sound waves to obtain images of internal organs and structures. This method is safe and non-invasive, making it particularly useful for monitoring fetal health during pregnancy and for diagnosing diseases of the liver, kidneys, and other organs.
The radiologist selects the visualization method based on the specific clinical situation and the patient's condition. To accurately determine the location and size of lesions, tumors, or hemorrhages, one or more methods may be used, ensuring a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Medical Radiology
The field of medicine that encompasses all technologies involving the use of radioactive elements (radioactive substances) for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in humans is known as "Nuclear Medicine." It allows the study of organ function by introducing very low doses of radiopharmaceuticals (also known as radioactive tracers, physiological reagents, bound to a radioactive isotope) into the body.
Radiology Services in Switzerland
Radiology services in Switzerland cover a wide spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, all performed using advanced medical equipment and technologies. Radiology plays a key role in the early detection of diseases and in treatment monitoring, providing accurate and detailed images of the body's internal organs and structures.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – это метод визуализации, основанный на использовании сильных магнитных полей и радиоволн для создания подробных изображений внутренних органов, тканей и структур. МРТ особенно эффективна для диагностики заболеваний центральной нервной системы, опорно-двигательного аппарата, а также мягких тканей.
Computed Tomography (CT) – is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-rays to obtain detailed cross-sectional slices of the body. CT allows physicians to assess the condition of internal organs, bones, and blood vessels with high accuracy. This method is often used to diagnose injuries, tumors, and other pathologies.
Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) – is a specialized vascular visualization method that allows for the evaluation of blood vessels after the injection of a contrast agent. DSA is used for the diagnosis and treatment of various vascular diseases, such as aneurysms, stenoses, and thromboses.
Digital Fluoroscopy – is a visualization method that allows for the acquisition of dynamic images of internal organs in real time. This method is often applied to examine the gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, and lungs, as well as for conducting various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Traditional Radiology covers classic X-ray examination methods, which include the use of X-rays to obtain images of bones, joints, and chest organs. Despite the widespread adoption of more modern technologies, traditional radiology remains an important tool in the diagnosis of many diseases.
Nuclear Medicine (Scintigraphy) – is a diagnostic method that uses radiopharmaceuticals to obtain images of organs and tissues. Scintigraphy allows for the assessment of the function of various organs, such as the heart, kidneys, thyroid gland, and bones, and is often used to detect metastases, inflammations, and other pathologies.
Mammography – is a specialized X-ray examination method used for the diagnosis of breast diseases, including breast cancer. Mammography allows for the detection of tumors at early stages, which significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
Sonography (Ultrasound) – is a safe and non-invasive visualization method that uses sound waves to obtain images of internal organs. Sonography is widely used in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as for examining the abdominal cavity, thyroid gland, soft tissues, and blood vessels.
These services offered in Swiss clinics ensure a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment, allowing patients to receive the most accurate results and effective therapy.

Applicability for numerous indications
Modern radiological and imaging technologies in Switzerland offer a wide spectrum of applications for various medical indications. This includes the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases across organ and body systems, such as the cardiovascular system, respiratory tracts, musculoskeletal system, as well as tumor and neurological pathologies. Thanks to advanced technology, radiological examinations can be adapted for diagnosing both simple and complex conditions, including chronic diseases and rare medical cases. This allows specialists to accurately identify pathological changes and develop the most effective treatment plans.
Increased scanning speed
Modern X-ray machines are equipped with high-speed detectors and advanced image processing algorithms, significantly accelerating the scanning process. This not only reduces the time required for examinations but also minimizes patient discomfort. Rapid scanning also yields more accurate and clear images, contributing to faster and more precise diagnosis. The accelerated procedure is especially crucial for emergency cases and situations requiring immediate intervention.
Enhanced signal delivery
Advancements in radiology and imaging technology have also led to significant success in improving signal delivery, which directly impacts image quality. Modern machines feature highly sensitive detectors that provide clearer and more detailed images, even at low X-ray exposure levels. This allows for better differentiation of subtle details and pathologies, which is key to accurate diagnosis. Improved signal quality enhances the diagnostic value of images and reduces the need for repeat examinations.
Minimal radiation exposure to the patient
One of the main priorities of modern radiological technology is reducing the radiation dose to the patient. Innovative X-ray machines use advanced methods of dosimetry and radiation optimization, allowing for a substantial decrease in the amount of X-rays passing through the patient's body without sacrificing image quality. This is especially important for patients undergoing regular or frequent examinations, as well as for children and pregnant women who require special caution. Minimizing the radiation dose contributes to safer examinations.
Swiss Medical Network offers a comprehensive range of precise diagnostics and qualified treatment under the supervision of radiological control. The center is staffed by top specialists in their field. Patient diagnostics and examinations are conducted using state-of-the-art technology and modern equipment.
