METHOD FOR PREDICTING MORPHOFUNCTIONAL MUSCULAR ALTERATIONS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, diagnostics.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with diagnostics by applying roentgenocontrast substances to detect muscular state at treating contractures and limbs' prolongation One should introduce a roentgenocontrast substance into tested muscle followed by roentgenography. Moreover, as a roentgenocontrast preparation one should apply nonionic preparation named "Omnipak". Roentgenocontrast studying should be carried out at maximum bending and unbending distal articulation being adjacent to limb's segment under studying, then one should detect muscular structure at roentgenogram in the form of its longitudinal or oblique-longitudinal striation and alteration in its belly length. Availability of structure dedifferentiation and fibrosis section at the level of regenerate in case of limb's prolongation or in different muscular departments in case of contractures illustrates considerable muscular alterations, and vice versa, safety of structure differentiation and altered length of muscle's belly shows its moderate alterations.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of diagnostics.
