before enhancement

No fracture defect visually detected

9x ROI
after enhancement

Fracture defect clearly shown

9x ROI
after enhancement
with annotation for measurement

Measured gap = 1.40 ± .02mm

Note - By the correction of CT Penumbral-Spread Effect and the elimination of Pixelization Effect, the invisible fracture was enhanced to become clearly visible for diagnosis and accurate measurements.
