Profile

The Division of Medical Radiology is one of the most modern institutions in the Polish Army and the macroregion, providing medical services to patients all over Poland. The Division provides 24-hour services to the Hospital and Bydgoszcz, performing 100,000 examinations each year, including 10,000 CT and around 7,000 MR examinations. It performs a variety of interdisciplinary surgeries, in which radiologists play a part, such as diagnostic and therapeutic biopsies, which require X-ray, USG, CT or MR examinations, thermoablation, thermoresection, brain stereotactic surgery, vertebroplasty and other. The Diagnostic and Vascular Intervention Laboratory performs a full range of therapeutic examinations, including the use of modern techniques such as abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (aortic stent-grafts), peripheral stents, intracerebral aneurysm repair, embolization of aneurysms, fistulas, and neoplastic tumours. The magnetic resonance laboratory implements the latest diagnostic procedures, such as: diffusion examinations, perfusion examinations, MR spectroscopy, functional examinations (cortical mapping), whole body and total spine examinations. The advanced system of image processing in computer tomography allows for non-invasive examination of large intestine (virtual colonoscopy), bronchia (virtual bronchoscopy), vessels (peripheral angiography, brain angiography, abdominal vessel angiography, and CT coronarography). The laboratory also performs perfusion examinations of the central nervous system.
In January 2008 the Division purchased the latest AGFA product, IMPAX 6.3, for processing, administration, and distribution of medical data, using digital radiography.
