MSCT of the Knee Joint
Knee MSCT is a modern, high‑precision diagnostic method based on multi‑slice X‑ray scanning. It provides detailed images of bones, articular surfaces and soft tissues. With contrast enhancement, cartilage, ligaments, menisci, tendons and vessels are additionally assessed. We use a low‑dose scanner with high acquisition speed. The examination is performed on CT Philips Brilliance 64.
