This project is initiated by Stan Buckens, a radiologist from the RadboudUMC, who believes in realizing passive four-dimensional (4D) CT scans for the wrist. At this moment the wrist is mainly scanned and reviewed statically in 3D. However, it is desirable to see what happens on a CT scan during movement (the fourth dimension) of the wrist, as...
