Bone and joint CT
Bone and joint CT is an innovative imaging technique that can assess the body’s bone and joint structures, providing detailed and three-dimensional images of bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues. This allows an accurate diagnosis of fractures, dislocations, cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions. This technique is particularly useful in detecting hidden injuries or those not visible with other imaging methods, allowing for the condition’s early diagnosis and timely treatment. Detailed images from bone and joint CT allow surgeons to plan complex operations with greater precision and ease, such as joint fracture repair or joint replacement, reducing the risk of intraoperative complications. Bone and joint CT can be integrated with other diagnostic methods, such as conventional radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging, to assess other musculoskeletal conditions holistically.
