Preface

Weight bearing cone beam computed tomography (WBCT) was introduced in 2012 for foot and ankle use as a new technology that allows 3D-imaging with full weight bearing that should be not influenced by projection and/or foot orientation. From the very beginning of device availability, scientific studies have been employed. In the early stages of the scientific work-up in different institutions, different methodologies, especially for the angle measurements, were inaugurated. No standard for the methodology for the image acquisition and measurement was defined, and different methods have been published. After ongoing discussion about the optimal approach for further res
