‘‘New and old’’ in picture processing of bone and joint changes in surgical patients

Background: Development of radiological technology in the past 30 years has changed significantly from previous conventional radiological treatment. The development of CT, MRI, tomosynthesis and use of radioactive isotopes has greatly changed the options of diagnostic procedures for traumatized patients, methods of treatment and insight into the healing of fractures. Methods: Authors suggest the importance of individual radiologic methods in diagnostic of fractures, their advantages and capability that they provide. Results: The paper points out the importance of CT tomography, 3D reconstruction, MRI, tomosynthesis and PET in particular traumatic changes and observation of bone healing during callus formation. Conclusions: Current diagnostic possibilities of osteoarticular system represent and give a completely new understanding of extraarticular and intraarticular bone healing. We can be accurately informed about callus creation, bone remodeling, as well as the creation of posttraumatic arthrosis far earlier than can be observed clinically.We point out the importance and possibilities of individual examinations during the diagnosis and treatment of traumatized patients.
