Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare time spent on the image acquisition, and comparison of specific bone position (angle) measurements between three imaging methods (radiographs, CT, weight bearing CT (WBCT)), and to analyze and compare measurement differences and inter- and intraobserver reliability. The angles differed between radiographs, CT, and WBCT, indicating that only WBCT is able to detect the correct angles. WBCT includes weight bearing in contrast to CT. WBCT prevents inaccuracies of projection and foot orientation in contrast to radiographs due to the 3D dataset which is principally independent from projection and foot orientation.
Based on Richter M, Seidl B, Zech S, Hahn S. PedCAT for 3D-Imaging in Standing Position Allows for More Accurate Bone Position (Angle) Measurement than Radiographs or CT. Foot Ankle Surg 2014;20(3): 201–207.
