Skeletal dysplasias are conditions of abnormal bone and cartilage growth resulting in short stature. Developing expertise in the radiographic evaluation of dysplasias can be difficult because more than 250 skeletal dysplasias have been described. Exhaustive description of individual dysplasias can be found in hard copy textbooks, without the ability to compare dysplasias side by side.
To provide radiographic images of several common skeletal dysplasias with comparative normal skeletal surveys, thus facilitating understanding of the terminology and differences in imaging appearances commonly encountered in interpreting dysplasias.
Images from skeletal surveys obtained at our institution from 2006 to 2010 were compiled and reviewed for best quality images. Selected surveys were divided into body parts. The software program used for viewing the atlas permits linked scrolling, resizing of images, and simultaneous comparison of cases.
Radiographic images for 13 common skeletal dysplasias and 3 comparative normal skeletons (neonate, infant and child) are provided as an interactive digital atlas.
The placement of images of several common skeletal dysplasias with descriptive text in an interactive and comparative format facilitates understanding of basic radiographic terminology and appearances. We describe the atlas and discuss skeletal survey interpretation.
骨骼发育不良是一种骨骼和软骨生长异常导致身材矮小的疾病。由于已经描述了超过 250 种骨骼发育不良,因此发展对发育不良的放射学评估专业知识可能很困难。个别发育不良的详尽描述可以在纸质教科书上找到,但无法并排比较发育不良。
提供几种常见骨骼发育不良的放射图像,并与比较正常的骨骼调查进行比较,从而有助于理解在解释发育不良时常见的术语和成像表现上的差异。
从我们机构 2006 年至 2010 年获得的骨骼调查图像中进行编译和选择最佳质量的图像进行审查。选择的调查被分为身体部位。用于查看图集的软件程序允许链接滚动、调整图像大小和同时比较病例。
提供了 13 种常见骨骼发育不良和 3 种比较正常骨骼(新生儿、婴儿和儿童)的放射图像,作为交互式数字图集。
将几种常见骨骼发育不良的图像与描述性文本放在交互式和比较的格式中,可以帮助理解基本的放射学术语和表现。我们描述了图集并讨论了骨骼调查的解释。
