LOINC description : A computed tomography (CT) scanogram is a low-dose, non-contrast radiation imaging
modality used for a variety of indications, including ante version, femur length and
tibial length. A CT scanogram can be used for leg measurement when there are flexion
contractures that would distort anteroposterior images, and when lateral images from
a CT can provide bone leg measurement in patients with leg inequalities (e.g., ununited
fracture). CT measurements of anteversion are based on the angle of rotation of the
femoral neck relative to the femoral condyles and are used to determine whether there
are rotational components, not simply a discrepancy in leg length.;
