Abstract
Objective:
A new method to obtain true sagittal CT scans of the elbow joint is described.
Materials And Methods:
The patient is placed prone on the CT table with the arm around and under the table.
Results:
True sagittal images of the elbow joints and all the articulating surfaces were easily obtained in a standard and reproducible manner.
Conclusion:
For CT scanning of the elbow, true sagittal scanning is superior to axial views and is readily obtained by the described method.
