METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS OF INJURIES TO HIP JOINT Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, particularly, orthopedics, traumatology and other fields where change of structure and integrity of joint components are cared of. SUBSTANCE: examined area is scanned by beam of acoustic radiation to obtain its image in various positions which is measured and compared with image of healthy joint. Scanning sensor is moved until obtaining axisymmetric position of curved image of joint. In this case, beam of acoustic radiation is formed convergent with observation of perpendicular incidence of rays onto respective part of curved surface of joint. Diagnosis is carried out over disturbance of proper curved line of image. EFFECT: higher accuracy of diagnosis with simplified method of examination. 1 cl, 1 dwg, 1 ex
