Figure 8.   Lateral volume-rendered spiral CT image shows an impacted, comminuted, intraarticular fracture of the distal radius with dorsal angulation of the distal fracture fragments (arrow). In this case, spiral CT required 2-mm-thick sections reconstructed at 1-mm intervals to provide detail of small bone structures. No evidence of associated carpal bone fracture was seen at spiral CT.
