Measurement of leg length inequalities by Micro-Dose digital radiographs

J F Altongy et al. J Pediatr Orthop. 1987 May-Jun.

Abstract

New technology may, in time, supersede orthoroentgenograms for measurement of leg length inequalities. Micro-Dose digital scans are a new form of radiographs that require 1% of the radiation needed to produce conventional images. The Micro-Dose digital scan and orthoroentgenogram were compared in a clinical series of 25 children and in cadaveric femoral measurements. The accuracy of digital radiographs for this application was confirmed.
