No discrete fracture, lytic or blastic change is noted in the visualized distal tibia, fibula, talus, calcaneus, and the rest of the visualized tarsal and metatarsal bones. The ankle joint space is …

The 3D-CT image approach for assessing ankle geometry appears to have the potential to provide information useful for designing ankle replacement implants or for templating the optimum size of an implant.

Feb 6, 2024 · CT scans are indispensable when it comes to diagnosing ankle fractures that remain elusive on X-rays. The technology’s ability to offer a crystal-clear view of the bone structure makes it possible to rapidly identify any traumatic …

With FDM 3D printing, doctors can first digitally scan a patient's mouth and then use that data to quickly generate an accurate digital model. The 3D printer then stacks the material layer by layer to create a crown and bridge that perfectly matches the patient's mouth.

Jul 4, 2024 · The CT ankle protocol serves as an examination for the bony assessment of the ankle and rearfoot and is almost always performed as a non-contrast study. It can be also combined with a CT arthrogram for the evaluation of chondral and osteochondral injuries or can encompass the whole foot in certain indications.

In the foot and ankle, no one image reformatting technique is satisfactory for displaying every anatomic relationship or disease process. Two-dimensional multiplanar reformatted (MPR) images are the basic images used for diagnosis. MPR images are …

Oct 3, 2016 · A CT scan of an intact ankle.

Understanding three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the ankle is essential for a better total ankle replacement. Current designs neither mimic the articular geometry at the bearing surface interfaces nor match the native bony bed with the implant's external dimensions.

Feb 1, 2006 · Clinical 3D-CT images from twenty-one normal ankles (11 males, 10 females) were subjected to morphometric evaluation. A local coordinate system for measurement was established based on talar...

Aug 12, 2009 · Here we demonstrate an MRI-based 3D volume rendering technique that allows for high-quality visualization of the fine structural details of the ankle. We compared ankle MRI and CT images from 17 healthy volunteers and one pathological patient.
