CANCER - HODGKINS DISEASE |
|
Hodgkin's lymphoma, formerly known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, and characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells.
Hodgkin's Disease - A cancer of the immune system that is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the Reed Sternberg cell. Symptoms include the painless enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, or other immune tissue. Other symptoms include fever, weight loss, fatigue, or night sweats. Also called Hodgkin's lymphoma.

CANCER - LIVER |
|
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, also called hepatoma or liver cancer) is a primary malignancy (cancer) of the liver. Most cases of HCC are secondary to either hepatitis infection (usually hepatitis B or C) or cirrhosis (alcoholism being the most common cause of hepatic cirrhosis). In countries where hepatitis is not endemic, most cancers in the liver are not primary HCC but metastasis (spread) of cancer from elsewhere in the body, e.g. the colon. Treatment options of HCC and prognosis are dependent on many factors but especially on tumor size and staging.

MAMMOGRAPHY |
|
Mammography is the process of using low-dose X-rays to examine the human breast. It is used to look for different types of tumors and cysts. Only mammography has been proven to reduce mortality from breast cancer.

MRI |
|
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method of obtaining images of the interiors of objects, especially living things such as humans and animals. It does not use ionizing radiation such as X-rays. Instead, it employs radio-frequency (RF) waves and intense magnetic fields to excite atoms in the object under evaluation.

NEURORADIOLOGY |
|
Neuroradiology - 1. The branch of radiology that deals with the nervous system.
2. The use of x-rays in diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system.

NUCLEAR MEDICINE |
|
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine and medical imaging that uses unsealed radioactive substances in diagnosis and therapy. The majority of these diagnostic tests involve the formation of an image using a gamma camera.
|
ONCOLOGY |
|
Oncology - The branch of medicine that deals with cancer and tumors, including study of their development, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
|
RADIOLOGY |
|
Radiology is the medical specialty that utilizes and interprets imaging technologies to diagnose disease. Traditionally it was the branch of medical science dealing with the medical use of X-rays emitted by X-ray machines or other such radiation devices for the purpose of obtaining visual information as part of medical imaging. Radiologists now also use all other imaging technologies (such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging) to diagnose or treat disease. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the help of medical imaging.
