The advent of computed tomographic (CT) scanning has initiated a revolutionary approach to the evaluation of articular disease. CT affords the opportunity to noninvasively evaluate both osseous and soft tissue structures during a single diagnostic examination. An optimal CT study demands proper technique, including a localization image, appropriate slice thickness and spacing, and window/level manipulation. The examination must be tailored to the specific indication for the study, which may include degenerative processes, inflammatory disease, or unexplained clinical symptomatology.
计算机断层扫描（CT）的出现开创了一种评估关节疾病的革命性方法。CT使得在单次诊断检查中能够对骨结构和软组织进行无创评估。一项优化的CT研究需要适当的技术，包括定位图像、合适的层厚和间距以及窗宽/窗位操作。检查必须根据研究的具体指征进行调整，这可能包括退行性病变、炎症性疾病或不明原因的临床症状。
