Abstract:
On the basis of examination of 58 children with diagnosed dystrophic osseous cysts there were revealed new aspects of roentgenologic characterization of dystrophic osseous cysts in children. It has been stated that high-structure roentgenography with primary magnification (apparatus Rays-D) allows to make more accurate an anatomical structure of the osseous cysts, nature of outlines as well as the state of adjacent sections of bone. Development of osseous cysts in considerable number of cases combines with the manifested symptoms of dystrophy in the surrounding osseous tissue (osteoporosis, loss of architectonics and presence of cyst-like formations).

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with X-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...
01:29Bone Disorders
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and the...
