OBJECTIVE. Musculoskeletal functional imaging should encompass the real-time (dynamic) depiction of joints in motion (kinematic). Our goal was to determine the technical feasibility of performing dynamic–kinematic imaging of the knee and wrist joints using a new technique, 256-MDCT.

CONCLUSION. Dynamic–kinematic imaging of the wrist and knee using 256-MDCT is feasible to depict anatomic and functional information, warranting further study of diagnostic efficacy, and could augment the current repertoire of joint dysfunction diagnostic testing.

Keywords: 256-MDCT • carpal instability • distal radioulnar joint • dynamic CT • knee • tracking disorder • wrist
