Musculoskeletal Case Study

Kinematic Study

Aug. 17, 2001
System: Panorama 0.23T


For each anatomical region in this study, we imaged in 5 contiguous parallel slice planes. This was done over 12 dynamics. We then selected the most useful slice plane (with most information) to make the cine films shown here. All studies were made with devices from Chamco Inc.
