Conclusion

The physicotechnical conditions and positionings for scanning of distal extremities allow to receive the images of high quality.CBCT permits a detailed study of distalextremities normal anatomy, to definethe structureof bones and soft tissues, to determine the direction of the bone beams, toestimate the spaces between them, to observe the cortical plates and the medullary canals of the segments with so difficult anatomical structure: wrist, hand, ankle, foot.
