Metatron 4025 Hunter in Oncology

In the past few years, there has been a strong development of various hardware diagnostics used in oncology. Such technologies include traditional X-ray examinations and their methodological varieties (rontgenoscopy, rontgenography, etc.), ultrasound diagnostics, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), conventional angiography, different methods and techniques of nuclear medicine, and NLS methods are widely used in oncology with the help of Metatron systems. The mutual vectors of this development are: the increase in the hardware importance and difficulty of NLS technologies and individual devices; the general integration of this method with different technologies that solve diagnostic problems in the context of a single anatomical area, system or pathology.

In oncology, NLS diagnostics are mainly oriented to solving basic problems such as pre-revealing of tumor diseases, oncological diagnosis, staging and supervision of cure results. Currently, we can talk about the formation of special trends in NLS diagnostics, which are implemented at various stages of oncological treatment and require various organizational, technical and technological approaches. Such as:

1. Early (preclinical) new growth diagnosis or screening of tumor diseases;

2. Evaluation of pathological organ and tissue changes using non-invasive NLS technology;

2.1. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pathological growths found, especially tumors and non-tumor diseases, anatomical and functional characteristics of the process determination;

2.2. Staging of cancerous growths, including traditional supervision of primary growth prevalence, regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis;

2.3. Supervision of the results of surgery, drugs and radiotherapy, including actual changes in tumor tissue, as well as complications and reactions during the healing process;

2.4. Post-treatment case monitoring of patients.

The solution of each of the above tasks can be used for specific pathological processes, which also requires the combined use of NLS diagnosis and various radiological technologies. The principle of sequential advancement from simple techniques to more complex using NLS diagnosis has dominated in the past few years, and now basically another approach is widely spread. It is about choosing the most effective method, including the most expensive method or a combination of them to obtain the best and fastest results.

Typical examples of this business area in the past few years are the three-dimensional reconstruction of tissue tumors using the Z-series high-speed nonlinear multivariate scanner Metatron 4025 Hunter diagnostics combined with multivariate NLS-scopy results of computer and magnetic resonance tomography to examine the prevalence of tumor processes in the entire organism. This approach inevitably leads to serious structural changes in diagnostics itself and in the entire oncological practice.
