CurveBeam Announces Effort to Improve Insta-X Performance
AAOS attendees will get a first look at CurveBeam's improved digitally reconstructed radiographs, or Insta-X. Insta-X's are synthesized X-Ray views, digitally reconstructed from the original CT scan. Insta-Xs are automatically generated when a scan is opened in CubeVue, CurveBeam's…
WBCT Reveals Subtalar Joint Instability Mechanisms
Are two-dimensional imaging techniques to blame for the diagnostic enigma of subtalar joint instability? An emerging technology, three-dimensional weight bearing CT (WBCT), may be the solution to better understanding the concept of hindfoot instability. A recent study by Dr. Arne…
The McGinley Clinic Offers Athletic Assessments with HiRise
With the 2021 Olympic Games underway, The McGinley Clinic in Casper, Wyoming is letting athletes know it is one of the first in the world to offer weight bearing CT imaging of the entire lower extremities with the HiRise weight…
Dr. John Sigle: Tailor Bunionectomies to the Patient w/ WBCT Imaging
Weight bearing CT imaging is a useful clinical tool in the podiatric setting, especially when it comes to pre-operative planning for hallux valgus. "Bunions are definitely one of the most common pathologies we see here," said podiatric surgeon Dr. John…
Videocast: Revealing the 3D Perspectives of Hindfoot Alignment with WBCT
Weight bearing CT imaging could change how surgeons approach hindfoot alignment (HA) & deformity. Multiple scientific papers delve into the difficulties of measuring HA on traditional radiographs. Challenges posed by 2D imaging include superimposition by the midfoot and dependency on…
EORS Annual Meeting 2021
The WBCT Society met for their first in-person symposium in over a year at the EORS. The WBCT Society promotes dialogue and collaboration on weight bearing CT research initiatives and is working to create standardized protocols for weight bearing CT…
EFAS Lyon Congress 2021
EFAS aims to promote the development of foot and ankle surgery and to advance education, study, and research in this specialty. EFAS will meet its goal of the advancement of the science and education in foot and ankle pathology, conservative and…
Researchers Define Normal Values for MT Rotation via WBCT Imaging
Key Points Researchers from RNOH Stanmore analyzed 182 feet via WBCT to define normal values for 1st MT rotation. Normal range is be between -5 and 16 degrees for the MPA and - 4 and 18 degrees for the α…
Assessment of Hindfoot Alignment Comparing WB X-Ray to WBCT
Hindfoot Alignment View (HAV) radiographs, originally described by Saltzman and El-Khoury, have been the standard method for quantitative assessment of hindfoot alignment. However, a recent study showed that measuring 2D calcaneal moment arm measurements on radiographs may overestimate the varus…
