Computed Tomography (CT) of the knee joint is one of the most effective diagnostic methods for detailed visualization of the bones, cartilage, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues. This examination provides precise information about the structure and condition of the knee joint and is especially useful for detecting traumatic injuries, degenerative changes, and pathologies that may not be visible on standard X-rays.

If you experience knee pain, swelling, limited range of motion, instability while walking, clicking sensations, or discomfort when bending the knee, your physician may recommend a CT scan for a more detailed evaluation of the joint structures.

CT of the Knee Joint Can Help Diagnose:

• Fractures and cracks of the bones around the knee joint;
• Ligament injuries, including damage to the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and collateral ligaments;
• Meniscal injuries and degenerative cartilage changes;
• Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, including cartilage loss and narrowing of the joint space;
• Congenital abnormalities and developmental disorders of the knee joint;
• Inflammatory and rheumatologic conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, and synovitis;
• Tumors, bone growths, and abnormal tissue proliferation;
• Postoperative assessment of implants and surgical outcomes.
