RADIOLOGIC IMAGING OF CHRONIC DISEASES OF JOINTS

Abstract

Chronic diseases are the most common representatives in the general structure of joints diseases. The aim was to determine the stages of joint damage over time, the specificity of X-ray and ultrasonic methods in the recognition of early and late manifestations of post-traumatic states, degenerative lesions and rheumatoid arthritis.
