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.
CT Spine is a layered scan of the vertebral column using X-rays. It is a more informative examination method compared to conventional radiography. During the procedure, many longitudinal and transverse “slices” of the spine are obtained in the lateral and anteroposterior projections. It is prescribed for injuries, developmental abnormalities, degenerative, inflammatory and tumor processes of…
