Extremity CT Imaging for Orthopedics
The HiRise is a low dose cone beam CT system. The upper extremity scans are quick and allow for patients to be scanned in a comfortable seated position.
Common Indications
Scaphoid Fracture
Distal Radius Fracture
TFCC Tear
Low Dose
“Considering the low dose of radiation and high image quality, CBCT could be used as a priority method of choice to assess the structure of wrist and hand bones and be done as the first step in diagnostics, replacing standard radiography.3“
