METHOD OF MULTISPIRAL COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSIS OF ANKLE AND FOOT DISEASES Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B6/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, radiation diagnostics, traumatology, orthopedics, sports rehabilitation medicine, for professional selection, research in the physiology of labor, sports, examination of work capacity. Conduct a multispiral computer tomography (MSCT) diagnosis of ankle and foot diseases. Study is carried out in bulk or helical mode with a cut-off thickness of 0.5 mm in the axial projection. Patient is put on a vest with a belt, fixed on the shoulders and pelvic bones, the patient is laid on the table in a supine position on the back, legs in the direction of the aperture of the gentry, the soles of both feet are placed on the support pad, creating a uniform axial load on both feet equal to the weight of the patient. Produce the construction of multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions. When visualizing pathological changes in the interposition of the bony structures of the ankle and foot, the presence of pathology is determined.

EFFECT: method ensures accuracy of the diagnosis by visualizing the relationships between the structures that make up the osteoarticular apparatus of the ankle and foot, in the presence of an axial load, which allows the operating orthopedic traumatologists to more accurately determine the tactics and scope of surgical intervention in the pathology of the ankle and foot.
