Longitudinal CT of the forearm in children.
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.
