Imaging procedures Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Imaging methods. The lecture is focused on imaging methodologies used in diagnostics in neurology. These are methods such as computed tomography (CT), CT angiography, CT perfusion, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Each methodology contains a description of the principle of how the indications work and a basic description of pathological findings.

Laboratory examinations in urology play a crucial role in the assessment of diseases of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Urinalysis is a fundamental diagnostic tool used to detect infection, hematuria, proteinuria, and metabolic abnormalities. Blood laboratory tests provide essential information about renal function, electrolyte balance, and systemic inflammation. Measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used in the evaluation of prostatic diseases. Imaging examinations are indispensable for the anatomical and functional assessment of the urogenital system. Ultrasonography is frequently employed as a first-line imaging modality due to its availability and non-invasive nature. Computed tomography offers high-resolution visualization of the urinary tract and is particularly valuable in the detection of urolithiasis. Magnetic resonance imaging provides superior soft-tissue contrast and is especially important in prostate imaging. Conventional radiographic examinations retain a role in the evaluation of selected urological conditions. The integration of laboratory and imaging examinations enables accurate diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic decision-making in urology.
