โœฆ Synopsis

Computed tomography is increasingly utilized for the evaluation of scaphoid fracture, nonunion, and deformity. We have developed a new technique of positioning patients while performing longitudinal computed tomography of the scaphoid. With the wrist positioned in radial deviation and neutral flexion, greater patient comfort is provided and immobilization of the wrist is not required. A reproducible image can be obtained with attention to the alignment of the scanning plane to the longitudinal axis of the scaphoid on the scout image, and verified with the "target sign". High resolution images, which clearly demonstrate the abnormalities of the scaphoid, can be produced even if the patient has a cast on the wrist or if there is hardware in situ.

A new scanning technique for reducing artifacts due to the partial volume effect is presented which maintains the spatial resolution of the conventional method. These artifacts are stripes and they have a ring shape between the source and the rotation center. Experimental and simulation results are

## Summary The aim of this study was to evaluate computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms with particular reference to their longitudinal extent. Twenty-nine patients were examined by CT, 21 of whom came to surgery. Sixteen of these 21 patients were also examined by
