A member asked:
Hello. a scanogram, that is used to determine limb length inequality, will it also show fractures/tumors? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: A scanogram, as you mentioned, is ised primarily to assess leg lengths. It can be done as an X-ray or be done using a ct scan. The primary purpose is not for diagnosis of other conditions of the extremity, but there will be things that show up on the films that can then be investigated further.
