Development of algorithm of imaging methods in diagnostic of knee joint in years 2001 - 2006 in University Hospital Motol
REDLICH, Peter
Knee joint is the biggest and the most complex joint of moving system. Its exceptionality embodies in difficult anatomical structure and static-dynamic function. Elongated human life and increased moving and sport activities lead to higher risk of knee joint injury. In monitored period (2001 {--} 2006), imaging methods of knee joint examinations experienced immense development which would continue in near future. Native skiagraphic examinations remain an inseparable part of algorithm of imaging methods. Though, methods without the use of ionizing radiation: magnetic resonance and ultrasound gain ground. In monitored period, the number of examinations with magnetic resonance markedly increased and continuation of this trend can be expected. That is especially because this method is noninvasive and the diagnostic yield is considerable. In 2001 to 2006, there were carried out totally 35 691 knee examinations for 23 602 667 points at total rate 21 006 565 Kč. Total number of native skiagraphic examinations is almost the same. I noted forceful growth of magnetic resonance examination in 2003 {--} 2006.The numbers of other examinations are without expressive changes. The total price of separate examinations is relatively the same but the total price of magnetic resonance examination is thanks to increasing number of examinations quite high. The results showed that despite of increasing number of magnetic resonance examinations, corresponding decrease of ionizing radiation examination doesn´t happen.
