Joint Imaging is a type of medical imaging that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of joint-related conditions. It is used to detect and monitor joint diseases, such as arthritis, and to assess the effects of treatments. Joint Imaging techniques include X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine. X-ray is the most commonly used imaging technique for joint imaging, as it is the least expensive and most widely available. Ultrasound is used to detect soft tissue abnormalities, such as fluid accumulation, and to assess joint movement. CT and MRI are used to detect bone and soft tissue abnormalities, and to assess joint damage. Nuclear medicine is used to detect inflammation and assess joint function. Some companies in the Joint Imaging market include GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, Philips Healthcare, Canon Medical Systems, Hitachi Medical Systems, Shimadzu Corporation, and Toshiba Medical Systems.
