True sagittal CT scanning of the elbow.
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.
