Using the 320-Multidetector Computed Tomography scanner for four-dimensional functional assessment of the elbow joint
1Monash Medical Centre, Southern Health Care Network, Victoria, Australia.
Abstract:
As described in this case report, the use of the 320-Multidetector Computed Tomography scanner (Aquilion One, Toshiba Medical Systems, Japan) to produce continuous 3-dimensional images in real time, over a distance of 16 cm in the z-axis, proved to aid in the diagnosis of a patient's restrictive elbow joint. This state-of-the-art scanner allows fast and noninvasive dynamic-kinematic functional evaluation of the elbow joint in vivo. It will also be applicable to kinematic studies of other joints.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
