Standardization and Reproducibility Regarding Scanning Procedures and Measurements of Weight-bearing Cone Beam CT in the Lower Extremity
Sponsor: Bispebjerg Hospital
Summary
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) of the knee is gaining interest, especially regarding patients suffering from patellofemoral instability. With this study investigators wish to investigate the day-to-day, test-retest reliability of weight bearing (WB) and non-weight bearing (NWB) CBCT of the knee in healthy participants and patients suffering from trochlear dysplasia. The participants and patients will be scanned in the following positions: 0° WB, 0° NWB, 20° WB, 20° NWB on two separate days. The trochlear dysplasia patients will furthermore be scanned 6 months postoperatively. The aim is to develop af protocol on how to both position patients during weight bearing scannings as well as a protocol on how to prepare the cross sectional images before measurements.
