Book your appointment for a CT Scanogram at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH- accredited centre. This is an advanced imaging test that provides accurate measurements and alignment of the lower limb, hip, knee, and ankle. It aids in the evaluation of leg and arm lengths, bones, and deformities. Our highly trained radiology staff provides accurate measurements and timely reporting, using advanced CT technology.

About CT Scanogram

A specialized CT taken during the scan is known as a CT scanogram, which is performed for accurate assessment of the length and alignment of the lower extremities. It gives detailed bone measurements and is useful in determining leg length discrepancies or mechanical axis deformities. The examination evaluates:

• Limb Length: Measures the length of the lower limbs
• Bone Alignment: Assesses alignment of the femur, tibia, and lower-limb axis
• Hip Joints: Evaluates the proximal femoral and hip regions
• Knee Joints: Assesses knee alignment and bony structures
• Ankle Joints: Evaluates the distal lower-limb alignment
• Limb-Length Discrepancy: Identifies differences between the right and left lower limbs

What is a CT Scanogram?

A CT Scanogram uses computed tomography (CT) to make precise measurements of the bones and alignment of the lower limbs. It is beneficial specifically for knee or orthopedic procedures and is used to measure the length of the limb precisely for evaluation and planning. This examination is suggested for patients with limb-length discrepancy, deformity, prior fractures, growth irregularities, or before orthopedic surgery.

Common Reasons for CT Scanogram

• Evaluation of limb-length discrepancy
• Assessment of lower-limb deformities
• Evaluation of bone alignment
• Pre-operative orthopedic planning
• Assessment following fractures or trauma
• Evaluation of growth-related limb abnormalities
• Planning for joint replacement surgery
• Follow-up of orthopedic treatment

Conditions Evaluated

Limb-Length Discrepancy

Provides accurate measurement of differences in the length of the right and left lower limbs.

Lower-Limb Deformities

Helps assess angular and structural deformities affecting the femur, tibia, and lower-limb alignment.

Bone Alignment Abnormalities

Evaluates the mechanical axis and alignment of the lower extremities.

Post-Traumatic Changes

Helps assess changes in limb length and alignment following fractures or previous injuries.

Orthopedic Surgical Planning

Provides precise measurements that may assist surgeons in planning corrective procedures and joint replacement surgery.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:

• Have one leg that appears shorter than the other
• Have a suspected limb-length discrepancy
• Have lower-limb deformity or abnormal alignment
• Have a history of fractures affecting limb length or alignment
• Require pre-operative orthopedic assessment
• Are being evaluated for joint replacement surgery
• Need follow-up after orthopedic treatment

Benefits of CT Scanogram

• Provides accurate measurements of lower-limb length
• Helps identify limb-length discrepancies
• Provides detailed assessment of bone alignment
• Supports orthopedic diagnosis and treatment planning
• Useful for pre-operative planning
• Helps evaluate post-traumatic and developmental abnormalities
• Provides precise imaging using advanced CT technology
