Comment: 1. It is important to reconstruct the data with the high-resolution bone filter. 2. Multiplanar reconstructions may be helpful in these cases. 3. Patient is positioned with knees flexed and feet flat on the scanner table. A second set of scans may be obtained in the plane parallel to the foot. |
