Head of the department- radiologist, Irina E. Kostina, Candidate of Medical Sciences
The department includes:
The department was formed in 2022 by combining Department of Radiology and Computed Tomography and the Department of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Diagnostics.
The Department of Radiology at the NMRC for Hematology has been in existence since 1946. The first head of the department was Professor, Ella Novikova, who studied the features of radiological manifestations of pathology of bones and chest organs in blood diseases compared to the pathomorphological picture. From 1988 to 2012, the department was headed by Doctor of Medical Sciences, Lev N. Gotman, who developed a technique for angiographic embolization of the arteries of the spleen in hemoblastosis. During the period of his leadership, the department was re-equipped with modern X-ray diagnostic equipment, computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging rooms, and a remote gamma therapy room. Since 2012, the department has been headed by Candidate of Medical Sciences, Irina E. Kostina.
The department specializes in radiation diagnostics (radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) of patients with hematological pathology of tumor and non- tumor nature and a wide range of concomitant diseases.
The department has developed and implemented into daily practice methods of examination of patients with multiple myeloma (low-dose CT of the entire skeleton, MRI of the whole body), patients with Gaucher disease, patients with GVHD after allotment, and patients with aplastic anemia (assessment of iron accumulation by organs and tissues by MRI).
The department is equipped with modern diagnostic equipment, including:
- 2022 X-ray diagnostic digital complex "RIM AM", with automatic data transmission to workstations and PACS
- 2009 Toshiba Aquilion 64 multispiral computed tomograph, equipped with an automatic syringe-injector for bolus radiopaque studies
- 2021 Canon Aquilion One multispiral computed tomograph, equipped with an automatic syringe-injector for bolus radiopaque studies
- 2015 Philips Ingenia 1.5T S magnetic resonance tomograph, equipped with an automatic syringe-injector for bolus studies
- 2022 Canon Elan 1.5T S magnetic resonance tomograph, equipped with an automatic syringe-injector for bolus studies
- 2 mobile X-ray machines with the ability to transfer images to digital media.
The department is equipped with an image transmission and archiving system (PACS) with the ability to export X-ray data to a digital image archive, which is accessible to specialists of the clinical departments of the NMRC for Hematology.
