Abstract:
The capabilities of linear-motion tomography are compared with those of complex-motion tomography in the imaging of posteriorly wired cervical spine fusion. Evaluations on a tomographic phantom, on a Plexiglas head and neck phantom, and in patients with posteriorly wired cervical spine fusion reveal that in most cases better detail of the fusion site can be obtained with linear-motion tomography than with complex-motion tomography.
