Description
Yueh-Feng Lu and co-authors test CT-guided low-dose radiation for painful knee osteoarthritis, in work from twenty twenty-six. Low-dose radiation can ease knee pain and improve joint function without surgery. Standard rules for drawing the target on scans remain limited, though. Their method draws a target that covers bone and soft tissue of the whole joint. Past records of treated patients at one centre are reviewed.
Dozens of patients and over seventy knees receive the treatment course. Total dose is split into six small sessions on spaced days. Pain scores on a ten-point scale fall sharply after treatment. Median pain drops from the mid range to a low level. No moderate or worse early side effects appear in follow-up. One case shows swollen tissue beyond old field edges now covered. The frame offers a repeatable, anatomy-true way to plan care.
