The device consists of a mobile table in the 3 axes of space and a mobile X-ray tube in the longitudinal axis, which allows, in addition to conventional radiology, to carry out dynamic radiological studies prior to the introduction of material from contrast either oral or rectal, intravenous, endocavitary or intra-articular.
Tests with oral contrast: esophagogram, esophagogastroduodenal transit, intestinal transit
Rectal contrast tests: opaque enema
Tests with intravenous contrast: intravenous urography, phlebography, arteriography
Tests with endocavitary contrast: hysterosalpingography, cystography, urethrography, fistulography
Tests with intra-articular contrast: arthrographies
It is also possible to check the permeability of structures or catheters by administering contrast through them as in trans-Kher cholangiography or pyelography for nephrostomy.
We also have a multi-function remote control that allows interventional procedures of medium complexity such as percutaneous biliary drainage or the placement of tunneling catheters for dialysis. It has videofluoroscopy that also allows dynamic studies such as the swallowing test.
