title: CT scanograms compared with conventional orthoroentgenograms in long bone measurement.
abstract: In this article the standard orthoroentgenograph is compared with computed tomography (CT) scanography in determining bone length discrepancies. Dried femur bones are studied by both methods. The CT scanogram method is found to be more accurate than the orthoroentgenography method.
