Advanced Orthopedic Imaging Solutions Are Aiding Physicians To Make An Accurate Diagnosis And Perform Precision Surgical Procedures

 

Orthopedic imaging is one of the most common forms of diagnostic imaging performed by doctors. It is also among the fastest-growing specialties in the field of medicine. Orthopedic surgeons use orthopedic imaging for a more detailed look into your bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other tissues. In addition to clinical exams, orthopedic imaging tests can give valuable information that leads to the proper diagnosis and therefore the most appropriate treatment possible. An orthopedic surgeon uses orthopedic imaging when performing digital x-rays or magnetic resonance imaging in order to diagnose conditions in the spine, pelvis, limbs, and hips.

These tests are designed to provide images of the skeletal and muscular structure, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic surgeons often use these tests to locate bone disorders or abnormalities in the knee, hip, shoulder, and neck areas. They may also perform MRI imaging for soft tissue issues. Orthopedic imaging is also used to determine joint mobility, dysfunction, joint stability, and muscle strength. Orthopedic Radiography (or radiology) consists of three different imaging modalities; magnetic resonance imaging computed tomography (CT) imaging, and ultrasound. The diagnostic procedures carried out by orthopedic radiographers depend on the nature and location of the problem.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the imaging technique that uses the application of powerful magnetic forces to create images from within the body. Orthopedic surgeons use this imaging modality to obtain an accurate diagnosis for almost all musculoskeletal disorders. Computed Tomography (CT) Orthopedic Imaging is another imaging method used in orthopedic imaging tests to locate the bones and joints. It is capable of producing two-dimensional images that can be viewed on both X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging machines. Soft Tissue Imaging is a type of MRI wherein the soft tissue of the patient is scanned using low energy X-rays. This technique provides images of nerves and blood vessels. Recently, in October 2019, Safe Orthopedics received approval for its SteriSpine LC and CC from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Japan.
