EARLY DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR KNEE OSTEOARTHROSIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly to X-ray diagnostics, orthopaedics and traumatology, namely to the examination of bone mineral density. That is ensured by dual X-ray absorptiometry of the whole patient's body with using a trapezoid set element to fix a foot. It enables to create a densitogram whereon bone mineral density is locally determined in a projection of the knee condyles, mineral density ratios of the lateral condyle of femur to the lateral condyle of tibia, the lateral condyle of tibia to the medial condyle of tibia, the lateral condyle of femur to the medial condyle of tibia are calculated to diagnose early manifestations of knee osteoarthrosis.;EFFECT: invention provides early diagnosis of knee osteoarthrosis.;4 dwg, 2 ex
