肌骨影像学发展方向

Frontiers in musculoskeletal radiology

1895年,德国物理学家伦琴(Roentgen)发现X线,当时照的第一张人体X线片就是他夫人的手。由于人体骨骼含钙多,密度高,与周围组织对比明显,因此非常适合X线成像。从常规X线摄片,到CT、MRI,再到PET-CT、PET-MRI以及分子影像学,100多年来,医学影像学已成为骨科必不可少的检查方法,在各种骨科疾病的诊断、治疗和随访中发挥着不可替代的作用。医学影像学科包括放射学和核医学。

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.
