• CT of the elbow joint is a modern diagnostic method that provides cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of the bones and surrounding structures.
• Accurate visualization of the joint surfaces, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and adjacent soft tissues.
• A painless procedure that takes approximately 7–10 minutes and does not require complex preparation.

Indications for CT of the Elbow Joint:

• Acute or chronic elbow pain;
• Swelling, deformity, or restricted movement in the joint;
• Suspected fracture, crack, or dislocation;
• Post-traumatic follow-up or preoperative planning;
• Suspected arthritis, bursitis, or osteoarthritis;
• Suspected tumors or cysts;
• Assessment of the consequences of inflammation or degenerative changes.

What Can CT of the Elbow Joint Detect?

• Fractures and microcracks that may not be visible on standard X-rays;
• Osteoarthritis and destruction of joint surfaces;
• Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis;
• Tumors and cystic lesions;
• Congenital abnormalities of joint structure;
• Reduced bone density (osteoporosis).
