Abstract

The utility of computerized tomogaphy in the study of the anatomy, and pathology of the musculoskeletal system has been the subject of considerable interest since the introduction of CT scanning. It provides an accurate and detailed cross-sectional image of normal anatomical structures and shows the relation of masses to these structures. In order to assess the utility of computed tomography, we analyzed the 92 clinical cases. We divided our experience into three major categories: spinal lesios, pelvic (including hip) lesions, and lesions of extremities. The advent of a new prototype scanning device has made it possible to exam a variety of abonormalities in the orthopedic diseases in a manner not previously possible.
