Dr Bojan Banko MD, Ph.D., radiology specialist , team le- ader at the CITYmedik diagnostic practice and doctor at the Centre for Radiology and MRI of the Clini- cal Centre of Serbia, says that, apart from more conventional methods li- ke X-ray and ultrasound, the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning have reached their peak during the 21 st century. What is the importance of dia- gnostic radiology today? “The need for such examina- tions increases every year, by an unbelievable 20%. Thanks to the de- velopment of technology in the radi- ology sector, it is today unthinkable that a neurologist, orthopaedist, ne- urosurgeon, general surgeon or in- tern wouldn’t refer a patient for MRI or CT scan diagnostics, in order to gain better insight into the conditi- on of a certain organ and the natu- re of changes within it. A high-quali- ty picture, as well as its professional interpretation, represent prerequi- sites for the further treating of a pa- tient effectively.” Which area of your expertise would you single out and what would you say sets CITYme - dik apart from other radiology clinics? “Apart from patients who co- me to us with a specific health issue, CITYmedik is a place for diagnosing numerous sports injuries, but also a place for full body screenings, which is what distinguished us among the competition many years ago. We were the first in Serbia to introduce preventative whole-body

Doc. dr sc. med. Bojan Ban- ko, specijalista radiologije, vođa tima dijagnostičke ordinacije „CITYmedik“ i lekar Centra za radi- ologiju i magnetnu rezonancu Kli- ničkog centra Srbije, kaže da je, po- red konvencionalnijih metoda poput rendgena i ultrazvuka, uloga ma- gnetne rezonance (MR) i skenera (CT) tokom 21. veka dostigla svoj vr- hunac. Koliko je danas značajna radi- ološka dijagnostika? – Svake godine potreba za ovim pregledima povećava se za neve- rovatnih 20%. Zahvaljujući razvoju tehnologije u radiološkom sektoru, danas je nezamislivo da jedan neu- rolog, ortoped, neurohirurg, opšti hi- rurg ili internista ne upute pacijenta na MR ili CT dijagnostiku kako bi imali bolji uvid u stanje određenog organa i prirodu promena u njemu. Kvalite- tan snimak i njegovo stručno tuma- čenje uslov su za dalje efikasno le- čenje pacijenta. Konkretno, MR je oduvek bila metoda izbora za pre- gled glave, kičme i zglobova, dok je poslednjih dvadesetak godina ona to postala i za pregled male karlice, abdomena, srca i dojki. Ne zaboravi- mo da, za razliku od CT pregleda, MR
pregled isključuje svaki vid štetnog zračenja, pa se bezbedno može ko- ristiti i kod dece i trudnica. Šta od vaših ekspertiza izdva- ja „CITYmedik“ od ostalih ra- dioloških ordinacija? – Osim pacijenata koji kod nas dolaze sa konkretnim zdravstvenim problemom, „CITYmedik“ je mesto dijagnostike brojnih sportskih po- vreda, ali i mesto skrininga celog te- la, po čemu smo se izdvojili pre vi- še godina. Prvi smo u Srbiji uveli preventivni pregled celog tela ma- gnetnom rezonancom (engl. „who- le body MRI“). Cilj je rano otkrivanje nekada najtežih bolesti, kako bi se što pre mogla započeti specifič- na terapija.
MRI scanning. The go- al is to detect the most serious diseases ear- ly, in order to be able
to commence with specific therapy as soon as possible“.
