Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a variant of traditional computed tomography (CT) and was first described in the late 1970s. The main difference between the two approaches is the volume of the object that is imaged at one time. In traditional CT, a narrow

This white paper addresses the benefits of a prototype cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system dedicated to extremity imaging. The CBCT system was co-developed by scientists at Carestream Health and Johns Hopkins University. The CBCT system was designed to image both upper and lower extremities, with the

Many orthopedic conditions are best evaluated by imaging studies acquired to simulate functional positions and weight bearing activity. This is especially true of diseases that involve the articular surfaces of the joints, such as fractures, malalignment syndromes, and degenerative diseases. For example, radiologists and orthopedists
