True sagittal CT scanning of the elbow.
OBJECTIVE
A new method to obtain true sagittal CT scans of the elbow joint is described.


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.


CONCLUSIONS
For CT scanning of the elbow, true sagittal scanning is superior to axial views and is readily obtained by the described method.
