MSCT of the Ankle Joint
Ankle MSCT is an informative diagnostic method that provides detailed assessment of bony structures, cartilage and surrounding soft tissues. It relies on high‑resolution multi‑slice X‑ray scanning. Slice thickness around 0.5 mm enables detection of very small pathological changes. The examination is performed on CT Philips Brilliance 64.
