Radiology Department

Digital radiography is one of the most important diagnostic tests — it provides high-resolution images with the lowest possible radiation dose, helping protect the patient while ensuring greater diagnostic accuracy. The X-ray images are stored digitally, making it easy to send them electronically, deliver them on CD, or — when needed — print them on film, covering every patient’s need.

In addition, bone density measurement (DEXA) is available — a quick and painless examination performed with very low radiation exposure. This method is essential for the diagnosis and monitoring of osteopenia and osteoporosis, effectively preventing fracture risk and aiding in the proper management of bone conditions.

Digital mammography is a specialized radiological examination that uses X-rays to produce detailed images of the breast. It is the primary tool for prevention and early detection of breast cancer, as it can identify very small lesions and tumors that cannot be detected by palpation or clinical examination. Its digital format allows for better image analysis and processing, while significantly reducing the radiation dose received during the test.

It is the most reliable screening method for women over 40 and for younger women with a family or personal history of breast cancer. It is recommended once a year as a preventive measure, or earlier in cases of abnormal clinical findings or symptoms such as pain, a palpable mass, or nipple discharge. The radiation dose is low and strictly controlled. It is not recommended during pregnancy.

The advantages of digital mammography are numerous, including:

• High image clarity, even in women with dense breast tissue

• Reduced radiation dose

• Ability to store and process images with high precision

• Faster performance and evaluation of the examination

• Detection of very small, non-palpable lesions

Eurodiagnosi offers a comprehensive approach to breast care by combining digital mammography with breast elastography. Elastography is a specialized, non-invasive ultrasound technique that assesses the stiffness of breast tissue, aiding in the distinction between benign and malignant lesions.

The combination of digital mammography — which detects small lesions and tumors — and elastography — which analyzes tissue elasticity — allows for more accurate diagnosis and provides physicians with precise information for biopsy, including the exact location of suspicious lesions.

Eurodiagnosi Corfu also has a specialized ultrasound department covering a wide range of diagnostic and monitoring applications for conditions throughout the body.

This department performs abdominal, thyroid, vascular (vascular triplex), soft tissue, and other anatomical ultrasounds using modern, high-resolution equipment. Vascular triplex scans help assess blood flow and vascular function, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as arterial stenosis, thrombosis, venous insufficiency, and vascular abnormalities.

Ultrasound examinations are painless, radiation-free, and provide immediate results, while the department works closely with physicians of various specialties for a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s condition. This approach enables reliable diagnosis and personalized medical care.

Digital panoramic X-ray is an advanced dental imaging technique that provides a comprehensive view of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding oral structures in a single scan. The examination is quick, painless, and uses a very low radiation dose, making it safe even for children.

The main uses of digital panoramic imaging include:

• Diagnosing dental problems such as cavities, impacted teeth, and jawbone pathologies

• Monitoring the development of permanent teeth and assessing oral health in children and adults

• Planning treatments for implants, dentures, extractions, and orthodontic interventions

• Helping detect tumors, inflammations, and sinus conditions

The digital panoramic image is stored electronically and can be delivered immediately to the patient in digital form, facilitating collaboration with dentists and treatment planning.
