3D-spiral CT of multiple exostoses.

Abstract

We report pre- and post-operative three-dimensional (3D)-spiral CT images in a patient with multiple exostoses. Images of 3D-CT, which were performed using the integrated 3D software of the CT system, showed the exact shapes and locations of the individual tumors around the knee joint in comparison with the surgical findings and resected specimen. 3D-spiral CT images of multiple exostoses would be useful for the planning of surgical procedure.
