Key Points: The most important advantage of weight bearing CT (WBCT), which utilizes cone beam CT (CBCT) technology (a three-dimensional (3D) imaging modality) is immediate access to 3D images, resulting in faster and better diagnostic capabilities. Up to 40% of missed diagnoses of ankle trauma associated fractures could theoretically be avoided with primary use of WBCT in accident and emergency departments.
