Abstract

This chapter begins with a brief introduction to computed tomography (CT) and pathology of the long bones. It describes the indications for using CT in these areas and then explores the technical aspects: positioning, technical parameters, and intravenous contrast (IV). The next part considers pathology: diaphyseal findings, intra-articular fractures, infection/neoplasia, angular deformities, and finally miscellaneous pathologic findings.
