Comparison of a Novel Weight Bearing Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CT)Scanner Versus a Conventional CT Scanner for Measuring Patellar Instability
The primary hypothesis is that measures of patellofemoral alignment obtained from the
investigational cone beam CT scanner will be reduced, but still correlated to those obtained
from the conventional CT scan.
