Use of Current Radiation Techniques in the Diagnosis of Shoulder Joint Lesions in Patients with Cervical Osteochondrosis
The authors present the results of X-ray computed, tomography and magnetic resonance imaging used in the examination of 47 patients aged 22 to 99 years who had complaints of shoulder join pain and discomfort with the diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis being established. The functional and X-ray signs of involvement of shoulder joint skeletal and soft tissue structures have been revealed. The shoulder girdle structures whose parameters in the disease significantly differ from the normal ones, as well as correlations of the sizes of these structures with those of vertebral bodies, intervertebral disks and foramens in cervical osteochondrosis have been established.
