Department of Diagnostic Radiology ****************************************************************************************** * ****************************************************************************************** The activities of the Deparment of Diagnostic Radiology of the CU MED HK and University Ho Hradec Králové include morphological diagnostics and minimally invasive treatment of a wid diseases in adult and paediatric patients using a wide range of imaging methods. In the di we use most often sciagraphic and skiascopic examinations, ultrasonography and computed to examinations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital subtraction angiography (DSA) exam mammographic breast examinations. Minimally invasive interventional radiology treatment in full spectrum of vascular and non-vascular procedures. Vascular interventional procedures comprehensive treatment of diseases of the arterial, venous or lymphatic system of the who exception of procedures on the heart and coronary arteries. Non-vascular procedures includ sampling, drainage of fluid collections, ablative treatment of tumours, biliary procedures procedures or pain management. Doctors of the Deparment of Diagnostic Radiology actively p in interdisciplinary rounds, seminars and indication rounds. They are involved in undergra postgraduate teaching, not only of physicians but also of radiology assistants. It is also part of the interdisciplinary centres. The radiology clinic holds regular educational even courses, tribal examinations, attestations and more. ****************************************************************************************** * Main research topics ****************************************************************************************** Deparment of Diagnostic Radiology • Imaging diagnosis and endovascular treatment of ischemic stroke (futile recanalization, recanalization in intracranial atherosclerosis). • Endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms (flowdiverter remodelling, reconstructive t stent and coils, use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers in the treatment of acut complications). • Endovascular treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas. • Combination of endovascular and surgical treatment of pial arteriovenous malformations. • Stent graft placement in the treatment of thoracic and abdominal aortic disease. • Endovascular treatment of mesenteric ischemia. • Endovascular treatment of bleeding. • Endovascular treatment of ileofemoral venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. • Minimally invasive treatment of chylothorax and chylascos. • Ablative techniques in the treatment of cancer. • Minimally invasive treatment of spinal pain. • Treatment of pain in cancer patients. • Radiation monitoring during interventions. • Radiation monitoring in patients with CT scan of the lungs and abdomen. • Non-vascular biopsy interventions.
