People who have done LL, X-Ray or CT Scan Pre-Op?

Edit Post

When consulting different doctors, I get a variety of different requests for bone pictures.
For example, Parihar insists that a CT Scan is an absolute necessity because regular x-rays don't have magnification markers and the measurements can be inaccurate. Many other doctors, however, insisted that regular X-ray AP/Lateral view is just fine and a CT scan is not necessary. 

For those of you who have done LL or in the process of doing LL, did you send a CT Scan before the operation or did you send an X-ray?
Does it really matter?

When you first got it, did you tell them anything specific? Like did you mention this was for LL or that measurement is important etc?

A top doctor like Giotikas doesn't ask for a CT scan? Isn't this strange to anyone?
