Diagnopein General Fistulography/Sinography/Sialography/Dacrocystography/T-Tube cholangiogram/Nephrostogram Centre in Karad

Importance of These Imaging Studies

These specialized tests are vital for evaluating post-surgical conditions, chronic infections, obstructions, or abnormal structures that cannot be easily seen with regular ultrasound or CT scans.

1. Fistulography/Sinography: Helps identify abnormal sinus tracts, fistulas, and their connection to internal organs.

2. Sialography: Detects salivary gland stones, strictures, or inflammation in parotid or submandibular glands.

3. Dacrocystography: Used for investigating tear duct (nasolacrimal) obstructions and related infections.

4. T-Tube Cholangiogram: Visualizes bile ducts after surgery to assess patency, leaks, or stones.

5. Nephrostogram: Monitors kidney drainage through nephrostomy tubes and detects renal or ureteral blockages.

These procedures not only aid in accurate diagnosis but also help in planning surgical interventions and evaluating treatment outcomes.

Benefits and Procedure

Each test is minimally invasive, safe, and yields high-definition images for effective clinical correlation.

Benefits include:

1. Early and accurate diagnosis of internal tract disorders

2. Helps guide surgical planning and post-surgical evaluation

3. Detects leaks, stones, or obstructions effectively

4. Minimizes unnecessary surgical exploration

Procedure Overview:
A radiopaque contrast agent is injected gently into the respective duct, tract, or tube under aseptic conditions. X-rays or fluoroscopic imaging are then performed to record the flow of the contrast medium. The entire procedure takes 15–30 minutes and is usually well-tolerated.

At Diagnopein, all examinations are performed using state-of-the-art radiology systems adhering to safe radiation protocols. Patients receive clear pre- and post-test instructions, and detailed reports are available promptly.

Parameters and Diagnostic Accuracy

Key parameters evaluated during these procedures include:

1. Visualization and patency of ducts or tracts

2. Presence of strictures, leaks, or obstructions

3. Structural abnormalities or fistulous communications

4. Postoperative healing assessment

Results are interpreted by experienced radiologists who provide detailed reports for referring physicians. These reports include image-based analysis, clinical impressions, and diagnostic recommendations for further management.
