目标。在我们的研究中，我们使用体外微型CT关节造影术评估了微型CT在评估大鼠膝关节方面的潜力。本研究的目的是介绍微型CT关节造影技术，并对大鼠膝关节的正常解剖进行可视化。结论：Micro-CT关节造影术是一种间接显示大鼠膝关节结构特征和结构的新技术。这项技术代表了小动物研究中的另一种成像和分析工具。
OBJECTIVE. In our study, we evaluated the potential of micro-CT for the assessment of the rat knee joint using ex vivo micro-CT arthrography. The aims of the study were to introduce the technique of micro-CT arthrography and to visualize the normal anatomy of the rat knee. The secondary aims were the quantification of retropatellar cartilage thickness and the analysis of microstructural cancellous bone parameters within the tibial epiphysis.CONCLUSION. Micro-CT arthrography is a novel technique for the indirect visualization of the distinct features and structural analysis of the rat knee joint. This technique represents an additional imaging and analysis tool in small-animal research.
