Radioloogiliselt

Radioloogiliselt is an Estonian adverb meaning “radiologically” or “from a radiological perspective.” It is used in medical documentation to indicate that a statement refers to imaging-based findings or interpretations rather than to clinical examination alone.

In practice, radioloogiliselt qualifiers are used to describe results obtained through imaging modalities such as X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine studies. A radioloogiliselt based assessment is typically produced by a radiologist or another clinician trained in image interpretation, and it may be presented alongside clinical notes and laboratory data. The term helps distinguish imaging-derived conclusions from those based on physical examination or laboratory tests.

Limitations of radioloogiliselt findings are common in clinical reporting. Imaging can reveal or exclude certain abnormalities, but it may miss others depending on modality, technique, and patient factors. Therefore radioloogiliselt negative results do not necessarily rule out all pathology, and radiological findings often require integration with symptoms, history, and sometimes follow-up imaging or alternative tests.

Common usage examples include statements such as radioloogiliselt evident fracture or radioloogiliselt normal chest radiograph, though exact phrasing varies by language and institution. The concept underscores the role of medical imaging in diagnosis and management while acknowledging that radiology is one component of comprehensive patient care.
