The so-called Corpus-concepts system consists of modern software for human posture analysis. Lack of movement leads to posture errors. These lead to a strong incorrect load on the skeletal system and immediate consequences can be muscle pain or tension (e.g. in the neck area). Furthermore, intervertebral discs, joints and bones are also affected. Diagnosis of … Corpus Posture Diagnostics
Computed tomography of the extremities (synonyms: extremity CT; CT extremities) refers to a radiologic examination procedure in which the extremities (arms and legs) are examined using computed tomography (CT). Indications (areas of application) Suspected osteopenia (reduction in bone density)/osteoporosis (bone loss) – determination of bone density. Degenerative changes in the bones or joints. Inflammation in … Computer Tomography of Extremities
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the extremities (synonyms: extremity MRI; MRI extremities) – or also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) of the extremities – refers to a radiologic examination procedure that uses a magnetic field to image structures in the extremities (legs and arms). MRI is now routinely used for many different indications, as … Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Extremities
Arthroscopy of the knee joint is a medical procedure used in both diagnosis and therapy of various injuries or degenerative changes of joints. Arthroscopy is primarily used in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The arthroscope is a variant of the endoscope that is used exclusively in the therapy and diagnosis of pathological joint changes. Decisive for … Arthroscopy of the Knee Joint: Explained
Arthrosonography is the term used to describe the ultrasound examination of joints. It is now considered a crucial component of rheumatologic diagnosis. This is due to the method’s excellent visualization of soft tissue processes and early detection of bony destruction (destruction of bone). Indications (areas of application) Enthesiopathies – group of pathological disorders mostly of … Joint Ultrasound (Arthrosonography)
Osteodensitometry (bone densitometry) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), DEXA; dual X-ray absorptiometry; radiographic method) is used for early diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis (bone loss). Only the DEXA method can determine whether osteoporosis as defined by the WHO is present. The measurement is taken in the area of the lumbar spine (L1 to L 5) … Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry for Bone Densitometry
Osteodensitometry (bone density measurement) using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is used for early diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis (bone loss). This procedure is used to determine bone density (mineral salt content of the bones). Note: Whether osteoporosis is present according to the WHO definition can only be determined by the DEXA method. Furthermore, with the … Quantitative Computed Tomography for Bone Densitometry
Osteosonography (synonym: quantitative ultrasonography; QUS) is a diagnostic procedure for measuring and evaluating bone density, particularly in patients at risk for osteoporosis. The method is also used for early diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis (bone loss). The method belongs to the procedures of osteodensitometry (bone density measurement). One of these is the Lunar Achilles Insight … Lunar Achilles Osteosonography, Bone Densitometry
1-phase skeletal scintigraphy is a diagnostic nuclear medicine procedure used to visualize bone areas based on bone metabolism. The field of application of 1-phase skeletal scintigraphy is primarily in the evaluation of bone tumors or osseous metastases (bone metastases; daughter tumors), since these are associated with a change in bone metabolism. With 1-phase skeletal scintigraphy, … 1-Phase Skeletal Scintigraphy
Bone marrow scintigraphy is a diagnostic nuclear medicine procedure that allows imaging of the hematopoietically (blood formation-related) active bone marrow and can be used primarily to evaluate bone marrow-associated tumors such as multiple myeloma. For imaging by scintigraphy, a 99mTechnetium marker is injected intravenously as a radiopharmaceutical (also called a “tracer”; chemical compound of a … Bone Marrow Scintigraphy
Leukocyte scintigraphy is a diagnostic procedure used in nuclear medicine to visualize accumulations of radioactively labeled leukocytes (white blood cells), for example, in inflammatory sites. Leukocytes, along with erythrocytes (red blood cells) and thrombocytes (blood platelets), make up the cellular component of blood. Leukocytes are part of the immune system and therefore serve the body’s … Leukocyte Scintigraphy
Computed tomography of the spine (synonyms: spinal CT; CT spine) refers to a radiologic examination procedure in which the spine is examined using computed tomography (CT). Indications (areas of application) Degenerative or inflammatory changes of the spine. Tumors in the area of the spine and spinal cord, e.g., metastases (daughter tumors of tumors) Nucleus propulsus … Spine Computer Tomography
