Functional diagnostics is a method of medical research aimed at assessing the functioning of organs and systems of the body. It helps to identify abnormalities in the functioning of organs, establish a diagnosis, determine the degree of functional disorders and develop a treatment strategy.

Various types of studies can be performed as part of functional diagnostics, including:

  •  Electrocardiography (ECG): An examination that records the electrical activity of the heart to detect abnormalities in its operation.
  •  Electroencephalography (EEG): A method of recording the electrical activity of the brain to assess its functional state.
  •  Functional tests: Include various tests, such as stress tests to assess heart function, lung function tests, and others.
  •  Ultrasound studies: Ultrasound methods allow you to assess the condition of internal organs and tissues, their blood flow, etc.
  •  Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI): Examines the activation of various areas of the brain during the performance of certain functional tasks.
  •  Functional tests in the clinical laboratory: For example, glucose load tests to assess pancreatic function.

Functional diagnostics is widely used for:

  •  Detection of cardiovascular diseases
  •  Assessment of the state of the nervous system
  •  Identification of internal organ dysfunctions
  •  Clarifying the diagnosis and choosing the treatment method

The comprehensive implementation of various functional studies allows to obtain a more complete picture of the patient's state of health and determine the optimal tactics for conducting his medical supervision and treatment.
