Upper GI tract radiography uses a form of real-time x-ray called fluoroscopy to produce images of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Dr. Elliot Fishman explains what to expect during the exam in the full video. https://tinyurl.com/2z7ddh3x

Ultrasound imaging uses a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and produce pictures of the body's internal structures.
Ultrasound is used to help diagnose unexplained pain and swelling, evaluate conditions related to blood flow, or provide imaging guidance to needle biopsies.
Ultrasound uses no ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don't show up well on x-ray images.
Ultrasound is the preferred imaging method for monitoring pregnancies.

In functional MRI (fMRI) neurofeedback, a closed-loop brain-computer interface enables participants to learn how to self-regulate brain activity using real-time feedback. This method is gaining traction in both scientific and clinical settings. Several 3T MRI studies have shown the promise of this approach as an add-on treatment for depression, helping patients improve emotion regulation and self-efficacy. Conventional neurofeedback cannot distinguish specific emotions. It is therefore unclear whether a patient is engaging in a positive or negative emotional mental state. To address this ambiguity, a new semantic neurofeedback approach maps individual emotions onto a two-dimensional space, visualizing the current emotional state as a moving point on this map. This technique allows participants to actively navigate their emotional space, offering clearer and potentially more effective therapy for depression. A 7-Tesla proof-of-concept study shows promise for this new real-time fMRI neurofeedback method.

La TC es una técnica de diagnóstico por imágenes que se utiliza para crear imágenes detalladas de órganos internos, huesos, tejidos blandos y vasos sanguíneos.
Las imágenes por TC pueden ser reformateadas en muchos planos y además pueden ser utilizadas para generar imágenes en 3D.
La TC es rápida, indolora, precisa, y no es invasiva. En casos de emergencia, puede identificar lesiones internas y sangrado lo suficientemente rápido como para salvar vidas.
La TC es generalmente el mejor método para detectar distintos tipos de cáncer porque las imágenes le permiten al médico confirmar la presencia de un tumor y determinar su tamaño y ubicación.

NATIVE (non-contrast angiography of the arteries and veins) is a contrast-free MR angiography technique designed to visualize vascular structures throughout of the body. Tailored protocols for use in renal arteries and peripheral vessels are available within the protocol tree provided by Siemens Healthineers. syngo NATIVE TrueFISP is based on the TrueFISP (true fast imaging with steady state precession) sequence, a balanced steady-state gradient echo technique. The sequence can be made selective for arteries or veins by appropriate positioning of the inversion pulse, which can be positioned independently from the imaging volume. The most robust method of performing syngo NATIVE TrueFISP is with respiratory triggering. With BioMatrix Technology, the respiratory sensor in the BioMatrix spine coil improves the workflow and increases efficiency.
