From the Transfiguration (August 6) until Reunion Day (September 6), all patients will receive a 50% discount on CT scans.

The research is done with a pre-recorded time: Contacts

Computed tomography (CT) is a piece of high-tech medical equipment that generates three-dimensional images of the human body through X-rays at different angles.
The method of visualization in computed tomography makes it indispensable in the examination of patients with implants, artificial joints and pacemakers, as well as in the diagnosis of lungs, brain, and bone structures.

Modern devices are characterized by extremely efficient algorithms for the reconstruction of 3D images and extremely low levels of radiation exposure.
The diagnostic capabilities of the equipment are further expanded by the introduction of contrast agents into the patient’s circulatory system. This allows the highlighting of individual tissues through their virtual staining. In this way, the details in the studied structures are observed even more clearly.

Siemens computed tomography is installed in the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST . The device – SOMATOM go.Now is equipped with technology for double-energy research, which opens a whole new page in the diagnostic capabilities of computed tomography. Thanks to these regimes, it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively study specific deposits in the body, which are associated with some of the most common and painful chronic and chronic diseases:

• Kidney stones
• Gout

SOMATOM go.Now uses artificial intelligence in the selection of research modes. Autonomous algorithms take into account the personal anthropology of each patient and eliminate the risk of setting the wrong parameters, which could worsen the quality of research.

The device achieves twice lower radiation levels than the previous generation of devices while maintaining the high resolution of the three-dimensional image. This is achieved through innovative filtering, which stops unnecessary low-energy spectrum and skips only the one involved in image generation.

In the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST is installed the only in Bulgaria Computer tomograph of Siemens, which has modes for examination of kidney stones – SOMATOM go.Now.

The device is equipped with dual-energy research technology, which opens a whole new page in the diagnostic capabilities of computed tomography. Thanks to these regimes, it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively study-specific deposits in the body. The device establishes all the parameters needed to determine subsequent therapy, namely:

• Chemical composition
• Dimensions, shape and volume
• Density in Hunsfield units (HU)

The tomograph uses automatic algorithms to distinguish and color-code the following types of kidney stones:

• uric acid
• calcium oxalate
• cystine
• hydroxylapatite stones

The information on the composition, size and density of the deposits is completely sufficient for the urologists and nephrologists when determining a treatment plan, including lithotripsy, in case the stones are not subject to conservative treatment and hardware fracture is required.

SOMATOM go.Now has been installed in the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST. He is a representative of the latest generation of CT scanners of the world leader in medical equipment – Siemens.

Devices from the SOMATOM go series. own some of the largest hospitals in the country, but Varna is only the third city in Bulgaria to have such a device in pre-hospital care.

Thanks to these regimens, it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively study specific deposits in the body, which are associated with some of the most common and painful chronic diseases. The scanner is the only one in Northeastern Bulgaria that allows to study:

• kidney stones – determining the qualitative composition, diameter and hardness
• rheumatoid arthritis
• deposits of uric acid crystals in gout
