Computed tomography of musculoskeletal disorders

Computed Tomography of the Musculoskeletal System.

Computed tomography (CT) has specific uses in veterinary species' appendicular musculoskeletal system. Parameters for acquisition of images, interpretation limitations, as well as published information regarding its use in small animals is reviewed.

The use of nano-computed tomography to enhance musculoskeletal research.

Advances in computed tomography (CT) imaging are opening new avenues toward more precise characterization and quantification of connective tissue microarchitecture. In the last two decades, micro-computed tomography (microCT) has significantly augmented destructive methods for the 3D micro-analysis of tissue structure, primarily in the bone research field. Recently, microCT has been employed in...

The Utility of Dual Energy Computed Tomography in Musculoskeletal Imaging

The objective of this article is to review the mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of dual energy computed tomography (DECT) over conventional tomography (CT) in musculoskeletal imaging as DECT provides additional information about tissue composition and artifact reduction. This provides clinical utility in detection of urate crystals, bone marrow edema, reduction of beam hardening metalli...

Computed tomography findings of paracoccidiodomycosis in musculoskeletal system

OBJECTIVE To evaluate musculoskeletal involvement in paracoccidioidomycosis at computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Development of a retrospective study based on a review of radiologic and pathologic reports in the institution database. Patients with histopathologically confirmed musculoskeletal paracoccidioidomycosis and submitted to computed tomography were included in the present stu...
