Urological Examinations
Urological examinations encompass a variety of tests and diagnostics aimed at detecting and treating diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems. These examinations are often used to identify problems related to the bladder, kidneys, prostate, genital organs, and urinary tract. Some important areas in urological research include:
Prostate Examinations:
- PSA Test (Prostate-Specific Antigen): A blood test used to detect prostate cancer.
- Micro-Ultrasound 29 MHz: An ultrasound test used to examine the size and structure of the prostate, quickly and accurately detecting prostate cancer. It is widely used for prostate cancer screening. This advanced and essential ultrasound test is available at five branches of the “Kharazishvili Robotic Center” nationwide.
- Prostate Targeted “Fusion” Biopsy: A high-tech examination that combines micro-ultrasound and MRI… a sample of prostate tissue is taken with a needle for microscopic examination.
Urine Analysis (Urinalysis): A general urine analysis to detect urinary infections, kidney diseases, and other issues. Urine culture helps identify the type of bacteria causing the infection.
- Ultrasound (Genitourinary Ultrasound): Used to examine the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and urethra.
- CT Scan and MRI: Provide detailed images to evaluate kidney or urinary tract stones, tumors, and other abnormalities.
- Cystoscopy: A procedure using a small camera to examine the inside of the urethra and bladder in detail. It is used to detect bladder tumors, stones, infections, or abnormalities.
Kidney and Urinary Tract Function Tests:
- Kidney function tests, such as serum creatinine and uric acid levels.
Stone Diagnosis:
- Kidney and urinary tract stones can be diagnosed through urine and blood tests, ultrasound, or X-ray imaging.
Uroflowmetry:
- A test that measures the speed of urine flow during urination. This examination helps assess the urination process and detect urine flow abnormalities.
Urethroscopy:
- An endoscopic procedure used to examine the inside of the urethra and bladder (cystoscopy). This procedure helps urologists identify and treat various urinary system diseases, including blockages, inflammations, injuries, or tumors.
“Kharazishvili Robotic Center” offers all of these cutting-edge examinations, diagnostics, and treatments for urological diseases, utilizing methods that adhere to global medical standards.
