Application of a mechatronic system with a stirsage sequence in magnetic resonance imaging using the whole-body protocol

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to review and analyze the conducted methodology obtained in the study of a group of patients with chronic rheumatic disease juvenile idiopathic arthritis in childhood using a new mechatronic system, using special coils and programs Survey body and Survey according to the whole-body magnetic resonance imaging protocol, evaluating the effectiveness in diagnosing inflammatory and structural changes of diseased joints compared with the routine method of studying this disease. In this paper, a new technique is considered, using an improved mechatronic system, magnetic resonance imaging for whole-body protocol research. The above research results are tabulated and analyzed. Analysis of the obtained clinical studies showed that using an additional mechatronic system with a STIRsag pulse sequence made it possible to fully assess the nature of the pathology of sections in the sagittal plane of all types of diseased joints. In the studies, a new type of laying was applied in patients with hands, instead of the standard one when the hands lie at the seams, laying was applied when the hands of the palm surface lie to the body. This made it possible to fully visualize the small wrist joints, which facilitates the examination of the patient.
