Surface renderings (a) and density-based renderings (b) from CT images acquired at the targeted thumb positions of neutral (N), flexion (F), adduction (Ad), extension (E), and abduction (Ab). The horizontal and vertical polycarbonate plates used to standardize and stabilize the hand during imaging are also shown. The larger cylinder supported the extended fingers.
