Question

Which diagnostic procedure provides an X-ray of a joint after injection of a contrast medium into the joint space?

dual-energy absorptiometry

myelography

arthrography

arthroscopy

  

Answer 1

The diagnostic procedure provides an X-ray of joint after imaging of a contrast medium onto the joint space is - Arthography.

Arthography is type of imaging test of radiological study used for diagnosis of the joints and evaluate it's condition. It is done to get the standard details joint structure and function and also provide an image of the contrast medium injected in the joint space.

Mylography is the radiological test that provides s image of contrast medium injected into the spinal cord.

Arthoscopy is mainly a treatment procedure in which there a tube with a camera in its tip and a light for visualisation of the joint space.

Dual energy absorptiometry is a rediological test to detect the bone density.
