X-ray kymography Stepped

Step X-ray kymology (P) is a research method that is used to diagnose various diseases of bones and joints. It is based on moving a film cassette with each movement of the patient.

The operating principle of step X-ray kymography (P) is as follows:

  1. The patient is placed on the table and his limbs are fixed.
  2. The X-ray machine is placed at a certain height to produce an image of the joint or bone.
  3. The doctor moves the film cassette a certain distance, corresponding to the movement of the joint or bone, and takes an image.
  4. The cassette is then moved to another distance and the next picture is taken.
  5. Thus, the doctor receives a series of images, which are then analyzed.

Stepped X-ray kymology has a number of advantages over other research methods:

– It allows you to get a more detailed image of a joint or bone by moving the film cassette.
– This is a fast and convenient method, as it does not require special preparation of the patient and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
– Stepped X-ray kymography is a non-invasive method, which avoids possible complications.

However, like any other research method, step X-ray kymology does not always give accurate results. Therefore, before conducting the study, the doctor must carefully study the patient’s medical history and determine which diseases can be diagnosed using this method.
