Features • Tissue equivalent • Fat • Muscle • Cortical Bone (800 mg/cc) • Cortical dimensions controlled to 2 decimals • Marrow (80% red)
CT scanners are used to generate cross-sectional images of peripheral skeletons. Dimensional data are used to size 3D bone models and custom implants.
Errors in CT measurement of bone dimensions have been documented. A sizing reference phantom, placed adjacent to patient anatomy during scanning permits correction of sizing extracted from images.
