Key Points 2D imaging has limitations for pathology such as Hallux Valgus (HV) as pronation on the sagittal and coronal planes cannot be fully appreciated. WBCT 3D measurements can reliably assess multiplanar deformities of the foot and ankle, which is…
With approximately 100,000 – 175,000 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstructions taking place annually in the United States, it’s essential to build out the tools to adequately evaluate patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), concomitant injuries, and reconstructive complications[1]. As surgical techniques…
Key Points: On weight bearing CT (WBCT) scans of healthy subjects, the AP axis was found to be positioned in 7.4 degrees of internal rotation relative to the traditional AP axis measured on supine CT scans. Researchers concluded WBCT clearly…
Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) imaging of the hip and extremities permits diagnosis and surgical management by assessing misalignment. A team of researchers led by Jaydev Dave, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology at Thomas Jefferson University, set out to measure and…
Prof. Dr. Markus Walther is the Director of Foot and Ankle Department of Schön Klinik München Harlaching and Medical Director of FIFA Medical Center Munich. He is an active member of German, European, American and International foot and ankle societies.…
Key Points: Greater flexion, adduction, and tibial internal rotation can be observed in the standing position as opposed to the supine position when comparing weight bearing CT (WBCT) images to supine CT images. Researchers observed a significant increase in tibial…
The CurveBeam HiRise was recently featured on the French media channel BFM Lyon in a news item about Hospices Civils (HCL) de Lyon. HCL de Lyon is the first facility in France to obtain the third generation weight bearing CT…
In 2019, an award-winning study theorized the development of periprosthetic cysts post a total ankle replacement could be reliably predicted from the degree of misalignment calculated from a post-op weight bearing CT (WBCT) scan. The international team of researchers behind…
Pictured above: Luis Carrasco, Jr., 18, was the first patient to be scanned in Orthopaedic Institute for Children's HiRise weight bearing CT system, which was installed in April 2022. This is a repost of a press release. LOS ANGELES -…
Weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging holds tremendous promise for improving pediatric diagnostics. The CurveBeam HiRise provides unprecedented 3D views of the hip and pelvis while the patient is standing. "WBCT may be able to visualize changes in measures of hip…
