Application of MRI and CT Energy Spectrum Imaging in Hand and Foot Tendon Lesions

Abstract

To deeply analyze the tendon lesions of hands and feet, the application of Computed Tomography (CT) energy spectrum imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in anatomy and lesions is mainly studied. Firstly, the related information of the subjects is introduced in turn. Secondly, Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) and MRI examinations are performed respectively. Through energy spectrum analysis software, suitable single energy value (KeV) is selected, the mixed energy image is converted into the single energy image, and a variety of image recombination methods are used to observe the energy spectrum CT image and compare the results with MRI. The results of the study show that GSI could display the morphology, continuous walking and dead point of the tendon, especially the three-dimensional spatial relationship of the tendon, bone and muscle, which is superior to MRI. There is no statistically significant difference between GSI and MRI in the display of tendon rupture, thickening, deletion and compression. And GSI is not as clear as MRI in the display of tendon adhesion, degeneration and tendon sheath lesions, and the difference is statistically significant. Therefore, MRI is still the first choice in hand and foot tendon lesions, especially in the display of early pathological changes of the tendon and tendon sheath diseases, as well as the evaluation of postoperative functional rehabilitation of the tendon. And CT energy spectrum imaging, as a new imaging mode, can clearly show the anatomy of normal tendon of hand and foot and most tendon lesions, especially in the observation of tendon morphology, which has a high diagnostic value.
