Treatment of diseases abroad is always based on the results of accurate examinations. It is important for doctors to know not only the general diagnosis, but also all the details about the condition of the patient’s body.
Examples of what types of research are carried out by foreign doctors:
Capsule endoscopy. A modern diagnostic method that provides valuable information about the condition of the small intestine, which is difficult to obtain using endoscopic examination methods such as colonoscopy. During the procedure, the patient swallows a small capsule equipped with a micro-video camera, which transmits an image to an external monitor and allows the doctor to examine the condition of the small intestine in detail. This is a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia and subsequent rehabilitation.
MRI 3 Tesla is a high-precision magnetic resonance imaging method that uses a magnetic field with a strength of 3 Tesla. This is twice as powerful as standard MRI machines, resulting in sharper, more detailed images. 3Tesla MRI does not use ionizing radiation, which makes it safe for patients.
Genetic testing. Genetic tests are used in medical fields such as oncology, ophthalmology, neurology, cardiology and reproductive medicine. One of the best laboratories in this field is CeGat in Germany. Patients can send their samples through the Experts Medical service to provide clear information to their doctor.
PET-CT. Positron emission tomography with computed tomography is a powerful diagnostic tool in oncology that allows you to scan the entire body in one image. This helps the doctor not to miss metastatic foci, which often happens when performing CT scans of several separate areas. One of the key advantages of  PET-CT is its ability to simultaneously assess the anatomical structure and metabolic activity of tissues. This allows doctors to not only see where the tumor is, but also understand how active it is, which is crucial for choosing the appropriate treatment.
Biopsy under ultrasound or MRI guidance. Biopsy plays a decisive role in making a cancer diagnosis. It is this method that allows one to distinguish normal tissues from malignant ones. The use of ultrasound or MRI allows the doctor to act as accurately as possible when taking a tissue sample from a pathological focus.
Organization of treatment abroad most often begins with the diagnostic process. The world’s leading hospitals use technologies that are not available in countries with a low level of medical development. Such technologies include liquid biopsy to detect cancer cells, imaging tests to monitor brain function, and much more.
