Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical application value of the whole lower limb X-ray images of the lower limb joint
replacement patients by using the automatic stitching software of slit continuous shooting. Methods A retrospective analysis
was conducted in our hospital from July 2013 to May 2016 in the 150 patients who underwent slit continuous shooting automatic
software splicing technology for prosthetic replacement. The panoramic image of lower limb length of 150 cases were required.
The image quality was evaluated by technologist-in-charge and senior experts, and the technical feature of slit panoramic imaging
and its application advantage was analyzed. Results The resolution and contrast of the 150 panoramic spliced images were all
achieved satisfactory results, and their continuity and completeness were satisfactory. All the images were evaluated as qualified and
effectively met the requirements of clinical orthopedic arthroplasty demand. Conclusion Slot scan panoramic imaging technology
can be applied on the patient for image inspection operation, patient cooperation and orthopedic clinical imaging data required for
the surgery. Besides, this technology is directly associated with the surgical plan, program and postoperative assessment made in
orthopedic clinic, and has important clinical significance and application value.
