Q

SHOULDER: CT

indications (3.2)

protocol - from to (2)

axial scan, oblique sagittal, oblique coronal, 3D reconstruction (from + 2 purpose)

A

indications
- trauma, displaced fx, loose bodies
- if no MRI: labrum & cuff

basic CT protocol
- GHJ to prox humeral shaft diaphysis
- scapula to deltoid (sagittal)

  • axial scan: perpendicular to humeral shaft
  • oblique sagittal: parallel to glenoid fossa
  • oblique coronal: parallel to supraspinatus
  • 3D reconstruction: from axial + can isolate bones, for complex fx
