The document discusses different imaging modalities used in musculoskeletal radiology including their applications, advantages, disadvantages and examples. Modalities covered include plain film, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, MRI and interventional radiology.

The different imaging modalities discussed are plain film, computed tomography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, interventional procedures and magnetic resonance imaging.

Plain film radiography is the mainstay for bone and joint imaging, particularly in trauma due to its speed, low cost and ability to assess bones and joints well. However, it uses ionizing radiation and provides limited information about soft tissues.

Dr. Only One Taylor, SpOT


• Modalities of MSK

• Approach to bony lesions


Modalities
• plain film

• computed tomography

• ultrasound

• nuclear medicine

• interventional

• magnetic resonance imaging


Plain Film
• mainstay of bone and joint
imaging, particularly in
trauma
• advantages
– fast
– inexpensive
– readily available
– good for assessing bones and joints
Plain Film
• mainstay of bone and joint
imaging, particularly in
trauma
• disadvantages
– uses ionising radiation (x rays)
– limited information regarding soft
tissues
Computed Tomography (CT)
• x ray tube rotated around the patient
• cross sectional imaging capability
• reformatting in other planes and 3D
• best for bony cortex and calcification
• good at evaluation of comminuted fractures to
complex structures
– pelvis
– calcaneus
– wrist
calcaneal fracture
coronal and sagittal reformatting
Computed Tomography (CT)

• disadvantages

– radiation dose to patient

– metal artefact

– poor soft tissue characterization


CT MRI
Ultrasound
• relatively inexpensive
• sound waves reflecting from soft tissue interfaces
• no ionizing radiation
• MSK applications
– infants for DDH
– tendon injuries especially rotator cuff
– soft tissue masses
– US guided biopsy
normal supraspinatus tendon
longitudinal transverse
normal supraspinatus tendon

full thickness supraspinatus tear


Nuclear Medicine

• entire skeleton at once


• bone scan is an indicator of bone turn over
• very sensitive, not specific
– fracture
– tumour
– arthritis
– infection
– metabolic bone disease
bone scan
normal multiple metastases
normal plain film
bone scan – multiple bony
metastases
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• patient in a strong magnetic field

• multiplanar imaging

• excellent soft tissue contrast

• ideally suited for MSK

•Aneurysmal clip.
•Pace maker.
PERSIAPAN PENDERITA

gigi palsu ataupun
lensa kontak.
• Tidak membawa serta
uang logam, HP,
pager, kartu kredit,
kartu ATM .
• Tidak memakai
mascara.
Persiapan Penderita
• Sebelum masuk ke ruang
pemeriksaan, penderita
perlu diberi keterangan
bahwa selama pemeriksaan
timbul suara gaduh, agar
penderita tidak takut.
PERSIAPAN PENDERITA

• Penderita anak2 yang tidak kooperatif,


memerlukan anestesi.
• Penderita clautrophobia perlu diberi
anestesi.
• Letakkan penderita pada posisi yang
paling nyaman buat penderita.
• Bila penderita merasa nyeri, perlu diberi
analgetika atau anestesi.
Immobilisasi penderita mutlak.
