Abstract

Low-dose transaxial tomography is a technique that can produce cross-sectional images of the hips and femurs in children to permit calculation of the angle of femoral anteversion. Transaxial tomography was compared with computed tomography in terms of measured radiation dose and image quality. Transaxial tomography was found to require at least 90% less radiation dose, and the images were judged to be acceptable for the determination of anteversion.
