Musculoskeletal CT is a diagnostic technique for examining bone tissues using a directional beam of X-rays and a computer scanner. Compared with conventional radiography, CT has greater accuracy in the study of pathological changes in the spine, bones and joints; is less sensitive to artifacts; allows for subsequent three-dimensional image processing. CT of the musculoskeletal system helps to solve various diagnostic tasks: to identify complex fractures and their complications; inflammatory, degenerative-dystrophic, tumor processes, malformations of bone and cartilage tissue; determine bone mineral density; plan surgical intervention or monitor its results.
Densitometry is a technique for studying the structure of bone tissue based on layer-by-layer X-ray scanning of the bone area under study with a narrow beam of radiation. With the help of CT densitometry, it is possible to obtain a spatial image of the structure of the cortical and spongy layer, as well as accurately…
CT foot is a method of radiation examination that allows to diagnose pathological changes in the anatomical structures that form the foot. It makes it possible to visualize the distal parts of the tibia and fibula; the tarsal (talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid and three wedge-shaped) and metatarsal bones; the phalanges of the fingers; the ankle…
CT scan hand – X-ray computed tomography of the bones of the distal upper limb. Allows you to examine in great detail the numerous bones of the wrist, metacarpal bones and finger bones, as well as the joints between them (carpo-metacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, interphalangeal joints). With contrast enhancement, visualization of the surrounding soft tissues of the…
CT scan of hip is an X-ray tomographic examination of the joint of the lower limb with postprocessor computer processing of images and multi-plane reconstruction of the image. The acetabulum, the proximal epiphysis with the neck and head of the femur, the iliac bone, as well as the auxiliary apparatus of the joint fall into…
CT scan shoulder is a method of radiation diagnostics that allows you to visualize the anatomical structures that form the shoulder joint. During its implementation, the head, neck and proximal part of the humerus, the articular cavity of the scapula, the lateral third of the clavicle, the general configuration of the joint and the relative location…
CT wrist is a method of X-ray imaging, involving the execution of thin-cut images of the wrist area and their digital processing. Gives an idea of the main structural elements forming the joint: the articular surface of the radius and wrist bones, ligamentous-tendon apparatus. The study of the bone-cartilaginous skeleton does not require additional contrast,…
CT elbow is a radiological technique based on layer-by-layer scanning of anatomical structures forming the joint and subsequent computer analysis of tomograms. The images show the articulation area of the humerus, ulna and radius, including adjacent soft tissues (articular cartilage, synovial membrane, ligaments, muscles). The study can be contrast-free and contrast-free. CT of the joint…
CT scan knee is a method of radiation diagnostics aimed at visualizing the structures forming the knee joint. It allows you to examine the patella, the distal part of the femur, the proximal parts of the tibia and fibula, to assess the overall configuration of the joint and the state of regional vessels (with contrast).…
CT ankle joint is a radiological method of examining the articulation area of the foot and shin bones by obtaining layered images followed by multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstruction of images. Allows you to study the articular surfaces of the tibia and talus bones, the articular gap, vessels, muscles, ligaments and tendons of the ankle. CT…
Coccyx CT allows you to visualize the structure and pathological processes in the distal spine. Computer diagnostics is indicated for anomalies in the development of the vertebral column, fractures and destruction of the coccyx vertebrae, tumor and metastatic processes, tuberculosis, osteoporosis. In most cases, a contrast-free coccyx CT is performed, contrasting is used when neoplasms,…
