Diagnosis

Audiometry, both in cabin and open space , is essential for the audiological study despite of other more advanced diagnostic procedures.

This method is very useful for diagnosing certain diseases of the middle ear, especially in children, as well as for studying objectively hearing loss in adults.

This exploration has been introduced over a year ago. It allows, together with auditory evoked potentials, early diagnosis of deafness, in this way treatment can be started from an early age.

The video recording of images obtained in endoscopic procedures, performed with both rigid and flexible endoscopes (nasofibroscopy), is essential for diagnosing nasal, pharyngeal amd laringeal diseases.

Its use is consistent in the diagnosis of dysphonia (hoarseness), nasal obstruction, suspicion of malignancies, etc.

The nasofibroscopy is very useful for children and persons which can't tolerate traditional explorations.

With the help of this endoscopic technique, we can visualize the wavy movement of the vocal cords in slow motion, which allows us to study voice disorders more profoundly.

The observation by microscope is principally used to explore the middle ear, allowing us to make magnified observations of tympanic perforation, chain of bones (ossicles), etc. It is also useful for realising micro-aspirations.

This kind of exploration is indispensable in order to assess the nasal obstruction before and after the surgery and allows to contrast the data provided by the test with the patient's subjective feeling.

Computerized dynamic posturography is the most reliable method in order to assess the clinical situation of patients suffering vertigo and imbalance in such a way that it has become the most important test in order to assess the bodily injury.

However the main utility of posturography is the rehabilitation of patients suffering dizziness or imbalance.

Diagnostic imaging is essential in any medical speciality and its use has become indispensable for Otorynolaryngology. Computer Tomographies (CT) and Magnetic Resonances (MR) are used systematically for certain illnesses of this speciality.

Our diagnostic imaging service meets the requirements of quality and speed which are necessary in order to obtain a correct diagnosis.
