DEVICE FOR EVALUATING radiographic trabecular ARCHITECTONICS NECK THIGH

摘要

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to the devices used for X-ray diagnosis of osteoporosis. The purpose of the utility model is to improve the accuracy of radiological diagnostics architectonic changes in trabecular femoral neck osteoporosis. The apparatus comprises X-ray viewer with a transparent screen on which is placed an X-ray of the hip and proximal femur, and the lighting element. The apparatus is provided with an additional opaque screen with a window 25 × 40 mm, made in the femoral neck area. Use of the device will determine the severity of osteoporosis changes the main and secondary beams and the main compression and stretching of the secondary beams, as well as to standardize the procedure and improve the quality of X-ray diagnosis of osteoporosis. The apparatus may and should be used to obtain unbiased estimates changes of the femoral neck trabecular pattern during repeated radiological investigations in the treatment of osteoporosis.
