1. To review the history and basic principles of digital tomosynthesis. 2. To introduce current experimental and clinical applications of digital tomosynthesis. 3. To understand the benefits and limitations of digital tomosynthesis 4. To understand the role of digital tomosynthesis as a problem solver in the musculoskeletal part during daily clinical practice.  

1. Background and basic principles of digital tomosynthesis with illustration. 2. Current experimental and clinical applications of digital tomosynthesis in other subspecialities.   3. Pros and cons of digital tomosynthesis.   4. The potential applications of digital tomosynthesis in the musculoskeletal part with sample cases. (1) Trauma: fracture detection, follow-up for fracture healing (callus formation, evaluation of union status at the fracture site with/without metallic implant) (2) Arthroplasty: periprosthetic loosening (3) Arthrography: wrist arthrography for triangular fibrocartilage complex tear (4) Arthritis: bone erosion, joint space narrowing for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, sacroiliitis, and gout (5) Bone tumor: tumor evaluation, follow-up after tumor curettage (6) Others: avascular necrosis, osteochondrosis, crystal deposition disease
