Perfusion is a method that gives doctors accurate and objective information

Perfusion is, at first glance, a complicated term. And in fact, in medicine it means the passage of blood or lymph through body tissues. Changes in blood flow are used by specialists to study any deviations from the norm in the human brain.

The latest MR-perfusion method is used by our radiologists to:

  • study the blood flow of brain neoplasms;
  • to understand whether the treatment process is going correctly - to determine how the tumor "responds" to treatment;
  • detect disease recurrence in order to start treatment in time.

The method is simply indispensable in the diagnosis of brain tumors, because in the presence of a malignant tumor, its blood supply changes. In addition, epilepsy and migraine can be diagnosed on the basis of this technique.

It is extremely important that MR-perfusion gives doctors accurate and objective data about the blood supply of the tumor. And now we will answer the question of why this happens, and what are the undoubted advantages of the method.

The fact is that the size of the neoplasm itself is not always a reliable criterion for oncologists. After all, even "dying", the tumor can increase in size. Most of the targeted (purposefully acting) drugs block the growth of blood vessels that go to the tumor, that is, disrupt its blood flow. And MR-perfusion enables specialists to objectively, with numbers, find out what the blood flow was like "before" and how it changed during the treatment.

If the blood flow decreases, you are on the right track, the treatment is effective. But if you are prescribed new and new courses of chemotherapy, and the result is "zero", then you need to change the tactics of treatment. This is why MR-perfusion is used - as a "point of reference" before the appointment of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and to evaluate the treatment.

Please note that the design of our MR tomograph is unique! It is comfortable for overweight patients and for people who are afraid of confined spaces.

You can undergo a complete diagnosis of brain diseases even in very complex cases. We will help you detect brain diseases as early as possible so that you can start treatment on time, and we will monitor the treatment process.

Our Center also performs CT perfusion using a modern 640-slice tomograph. The method is used to study formations of the lungs, liver, pancreas, and spleen.

We keep up with the times. Our Onco Consulting Center has the latest ultra-modern equipment and experienced doctors who are attentive to all patients. The results of the research are analyzed and the conclusion is given by radiologists known in Ukraine and in the world - Doctor of Medical Sciences V. Rogozhyn. A., Candidate of Medical Sciences L. Myronyak AND.

We are ready to help and know how to do it right.
