NLS using the Biophilia Tracker X3 in the hepatopancreatoduodenal region
The question of pathology in the hepatopancreatoduodenal region is still pressing, which explains why researchers are keen to find improved diagnostics, as the correct diagnosis is the starting point for identifying treatments.
Today, the basic methods for diagnosing pathology in this region are traditional methods of direct manual contrast to the pancreaticobiliary system, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCPG) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatography (PTCG), which are used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. have been well used in treatment. Cholelithiasis, pancreatic head cysts and tumors, bile duct tumors and corrosive strictures, Vater papilloma and other diseases.
At the same time, although the method of endoscopic examination of the bile duct is invasive and rich in diagnostic information, it still cannot eliminate the risk of serious complications such as acute pancreatitis, hyperamylaseemia, cholangitis, and sepsis. Allergic reaction, bile flows into the abdominal cavity and develops into biliary peritonitis, hemorrhage, etc.
Their incidence ranges from 0.8% to 36%. In addition, different technical issues may arise during ERCPG (failure of Vater nipple intubation, esophageal diseases such as strictures, achalasia, etc., inability to access duodenoscope). In addition, ERCPG requires the participation of certain specialists such as diagnostic radiographers, surgical endoscopists, and anesthesiologists.
The advent of new diagnostic techniques in radiology, firstly ultrasound scanning (US) and computed tomography (CT), has not had a significant limiting impact on the use of ERCPGs, as these approaches have not been successful in addressing many diagnostic problems related to biliary tract Systemic and pancreatic pathology related issues.
The development of nonlinear computer-based diagnosis (NLS) as a method for diagnosing abdominal pathology has opened up new opportunities to detect diseases in the hepatopancreatoduodenal region, with obstructive jaundice being one of its major clinical implications. With the development and adoption of many rapid procedures for obtaining NLS images, in particular NLS-cholangiopancreatography, which enables the acquisition of a comprehensive virtual image of the biliary system and pancreatic duct without the use of contrast agents and interventions in the biliary system, This method is attempted to be put into use as an alternative to ERCPG.
There are some clear trends in some of the published work involving NLS to pay more attention to this issue in the hope of getting enough convincing information that will allow to draw new conclusions about the relationship between integrated X-ray endoscopy and first The final conclusion is the difference between ERCPG and NLS when detecting pathology in the hepatopancreatoduodenal region. Some work suggests using NLS as a method prior to endoscopic cholecystectomy.
NLS with Biophilia Tracker X3 holds great promise in diagnosing many diseases with common anatomical functional concepts such as pathology in the hepatopancreatic duodenal region. Therefore, due to its non-invasive nature, no need to administer contrast agents and interventions in the biliary system and the ability to combine with conventional MRT, this greatly increases the diagnostic importance of this method, and NLS investigations can replace radioendoscopy in a considerable number of cases method (ERCPG and PTCG) as the primary diagnostic method, although other methods may retain their therapeutic function. NLS may also become the diagnostic method of choice for patients with some contraindications to X-ray endoscopy. There is a need to actively expand the use of NLS to ultimately determine its clinical diagnostic importance.
