New scanner tested for clearer, more comfortable joint images

NCT ID NCT01771393

Summary

This study tested whether a newer type of scanner (cone-beam CT) works as well as the standard CT scanner for finding cartilage damage in joints like the wrist, ankle, elbow, and knee. 69 adult patients who needed a joint scan received both types of scans. Researchers compared the images from both scanners to see which one better detected cartilage tears and ulcers.
