[Computed tomography of the musculoskeletal system].
Computed tomography (CT) is an important diagnostic modality in the work-up of musculoskeletal diseases. Just as projection radiography and magnetic resonance imaging, it has specific possible uses. As a tool to guide interventional and surgical procedures, it is a significant imaging technique. The technical development of multislice spiral CT in recent years has contributed considerably to increasing the diagnostic quality of CT. In particular, the possibilities for depicting the findings with methods for secondary image reconstruction have been decidedly improved.
