title: Longitudinal CT of the forearm in children.
abstract: With proper positioning, direct longitudinal computed tomography of the forearm has been tried in five children. Combined with plain radiographs and transverse cuts, it allows a three-dimensional evaluation of bone and soft-tissue lesions. Being in the appropriate plane, it is also of great help in the study of the growth plate of the distal radius.
