骨科研究所放射学

我们的服务

The innovative techniques and technologies available at the Orthopaedic Institute include:

• 高场，高分辨率核磁共振，操作功率为3特斯拉 used for joint and spine disorders, bone and soft tissue disorders, and rheumatologic diseases. High-resolution MRI at 3 Tesla (the highest-strength magnetic field available for medical practice) allows better detection of abnormalities than standard MRI.
• 先生关节摄影术 为了更好的评估肩部, wrist, elbow and hip joints to find the cause of pain and limited function. This technique (in which we inject the joint with a material that enhances imaging) improves analysis of cartilage.
• 核磁共振技术 to analyze cartilage quality before cartilage is lost, which allows us to assess the risk for osteoarthritis.
• Metal-suppression技术 that allow us to use MRI with patients who have joint replacements, implants and other hardware.
• MR技术抑制运动 in patients with pain or claustrophobia, allowing us to obtain better-quality images.
• 关节注射治疗骨关节炎疼痛 包括局部麻醉剂, corticosteroids and viscosupplements such as hyaluronate and Synvisc (materials similar to joints' natural lubrication fluid).
• 骨密度测量使用 双能x射线吸收测定法.
• Tomosynthesis (a technique that allows precise evaluation without increased radiation) for better detection of fractures and fracture healing.

核磁共振成像和幽闭恐惧症

While open scanners are helpful for patients with claustrophobia, their image quality is generally worse than that produced by our 3 Tesla scanner. Poor image quality may limit what we can learn from the images.

请记住:

• Our MRI is shorter, wider and better lit as compared to other MRI machines.
• 我们的员工了解幽闭恐惧症.
• 下肢影像学-足部, knee and leg exams – do not require entering the tube completely. 只有腿还在插管里.
• Imaging of the shoulders or spine requires entering the tube, and sedation should be considered. After receiving a sedative, you should not drive a car or operate machinery.
• Our motion-correction imaging allows for shorter exam times and less time spent in the scanner.

图片和报告

得到你的结果

A radiologist will review your images and write a report. When finalized, the report and your images will be available in MyChart是加州大学旧金山分校为患者提供的安全在线门户网站. 一旦发生这种情况，您就可以访问此报告, 所以你可能会在你的转诊十大赌博平台排行榜之前看到它. 了解更多关于 receiving test results and medical reports in MyChart. If you have questions about a report, please contact your referring doctor.

To get a CD of your medical images and reports, send a request to the UCSF影像图书馆.
