Quantitative imaging of musculoskeletal tissue, including radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has become the essential methodology in clinical practice for diagnosis and monitoring of various musculoskeletal conditions. Furthermore, quantitative imaging technologies have become indispensable for research and development in diseases of the human skeleton. Standardized methods of image analysis have been developed through the years to quantify measurements on bone and cartilage with high precision and accuracy. Key areas of musculoskeletal disease where quantitative imaging is currently employed are osteoporosis and arthritis.

肌肉骨骼组织的定量成像。

包括放射线照相，计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）在内的肌肉骨骼组织的定量成像已成为临床实践中诊断和监测各种肌肉骨骼状况的基本方法。此外，定量成像技术对于人体骨骼疾病的研究和开发已变得不可或缺。这些年来，已经开发出标准化的图像分析方法，以高精度和高精确度量化骨骼和软骨的测量结果。当前使用定量成像的肌肉骨骼疾病的关键领域是骨质疏松症和关节炎。
