Ultra-low-dose computed tomography for torsion measurements of the lower extremities in children and adolescents

Abstract Background Quantifying femoral and tibial torsion is crucial in the preoperative planning for derotation surgery in children and adolescents. The use of an ultra-low-dose computed tomography (CT) protocol might be possible for modern CT scanners and suitable for reliable torsion measurement...
