肌骨影像学发展方向

During the 100 years since the discovery of X-rays by Roentgen in 1895, medical imaging develops from conventional X-ray to CT, MRI, PET-CT, PET-MRI and other examination methods. It also plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of orthopedic diseases. X-ray is still the basis in today＆#39;s fast development of radiographic examinations. CR, DR and other digital imaging technique make up for the shortcomings of traditional X-ray. Development of CT technique, making orthopedic surgeons observe lesions from three-dimensional angle. CT-assisted surgical simulation and intraoperative navigation greatly improve the accuracy of orthopedic surgery. Without radiation, MRI could clearly show the cartilage, muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues, which has become the fastest growing technique. Careful preoperative imaging can effectively reduce medical risks. Molecular imaging has broad application prospects in medical research. It will enjoy rapid development in orthopedics.
