Cone-beam computed tomography arthrography: an innovative modality for the evaluation of wrist ligament and cartilage injuries

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an important modality in dento-facial imaging but remains poorly used in the exploration of the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the performance and radiation exposure of CBCT arthrography in the evaluation of ligament and cartilage injuries in cadaveric wrists, with gross pathology findings as the standard of reference.   Reeta Ramdhian-Wihlm, Jean-Marie Le Minor, Matthieu Schmittbuh, Jeremy Jeantroux, Peter Mac Mahon, Francis Veillon, Jean-Claude Dosch, Jean-Louis Dietemann, Guillaume Bierry.
