Muscle functional imaging with dynamic digital X-ray system

本文介绍了一种利用动态平板探测器拍摄的连续X光片进行肌肉和跟腱动力学分析的计算机系统。跟腱的动态成像和分析可以允许通过Kager三角的形态学测量来评估脚-踝系统的动力学信息，包括关节和骨骼以及肌肉和肌腱。相对于小腿肌肉的评价，动态成像和分析可以是潜在的有用的鉴别诊断受伤的小腿三头肌muscle.The开发的功能性放射成像技术下肢是一个很有前途的方法动态评价软组织和骨骼的足踝系统在一个主题的自然范围内的运动。

A computerized system for analysis of muscles and Achilles tendon kinetics using sequential radiographs taken with a dynamic flat-panel detector has been developed. Dynamic imaging and analysis of the Achilles tendon can allow assessment of the kinetic information of the foot-ankle system, including joints and bones as well as muscles and tendons, with morphological measurement of the Kager's triangle. With respect to evaluation of the crural muscle, dynamic imaging and analysis can be potentially useful in the differential diagnosis of an injured triceps surae muscle.The developed functional radiographic imaging technique for lower extremities is a promising method for kinetic evaluation of soft tissues and bones of the foot-ankle system in a subject's natural range of motion.
