Application of CT Medical Imaging Technology in the Diagnosis of the Impact of Exercise on the Development of Adolescent Metacarpal Bone
Objective: Based on the principles of sports biomechanics, this paper uses CT medical imaging technology to observe the effect of volleyball on the morphology and structure of the metacarpal bone. Methods: Nine young professional volleyball players (volleyball group) and
8 non-volleyball players (control group) were selected from our province. They were male and right-handed. Scan the subject's hand with multi-layer spiral CT, and perform 2D and 3D reconstruction on it. The 2D reconstructed image is filtered, grayed, enlarged, intercepted, enhanced, and segmented
to measure the gray value of each metacarpal bone. After manual segmentation of the 3D reconstructed image in the workstation, the CT value, length, volume, and width of each side of the metacarpal head were measured, and the size and index of each metacarpal head were calculated. Statistical
analysis of differences in metacarpal parameter values. Results: Compared with the control group, (1) the volleyball group reduced the gray value of the right hand I, V metacarpal and left hand I to V metacarpal bones (P < 0.05), and the right hand II metacarpal bone decreased.
(P < 0.001), the gray value of the third and fourth metacarpal bones of the right hand decreased (P < 0.01); Conclusion : The stress caused by volleyball can adaptively change the morphology and structure of the metacarpal bones of young athletes, as follows: Values,
CT values decreased; metacarpal length, volume, and metacarpal head size (volume) increased; metacarpal head index decreased; in addition, non-snooker palm bone morphology and structure changed similarly to the spiker.
