Abstract:

BACKGROUND: X-ray imaging diagnosis is the commonly used method for the clinical treatment of bone and joint system which has become the important part of clinical imaging diagnosis.
OBJECTIVE: To multi-level explore and analyze the research literature on the application of X-ray image in the normal bone tissue and bone disease diagnosis.
METHODS: A computer-based search was performed in CNKI database from 2002 to 2011 for the literatures on the application of X-ray image in the normal bone tissue and bone disease diagnosis, the key words were “bone tissue, hip joint, knee joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint”. Bone and joint system was the body’s load-bearing systems and motion systems with complex and diversify structure, so the bone tissue X-ray imaging performance also showed the complexity and diversity, and bone tissue X-ray imaging diagnosis provided important complementary evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human organizational structure has different density and thickness. The absorbance volume of X-ray is different when penetrating the human body and the remaining amount is also different. The remaining X-ray can be displayed in the X-ray film with black and white contrast and level difference through the imaging of imaging medium or computer reconstruction process. X-ray imaging is not only used in the study of normal bone tissue, but also used in the diagnosis of bone disease.
