pedCAT: A Positive User Experience

“After using the pedCAT for a year, I am very impressed with how much I need it, and how many different things I use it for,” Dr. Bob Baravarian said at the 2015 Western Foot and Ankle Conference held in Anaheim, Cali. The California Podiatric Medical Association hosted the meeting at the end of June. Dr. Baravarian cited Hallux Rigidus as one example where pedCAT imaging has been helpful because he is able to properly assess the sesamoids. Dr. Baravarian confirmed his practice is realizing positive revenue streams as a result of the device.

Diagnostic Options for Freiberg’s Avascular Necrosis

The underlying causes of avascular necrosis of the second metatarsal head are not totally understood, but early diagnosis is essential. Delayed treatment can result in a collapse of the articular surface, making treatment more difficult. Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, explained his preferred methods for diagnosing the condition in the May 2015 issue of Podiatry Today. An X-Ray will show the overall contour and alignment of the metatarsal head. MRI is one option for a secondary study, but edema and swelling can limit visualization of the surrounding bone region, Dr. Baravarian explained. Weight bearing CT scans, meanwhile, clearly show the bones and joints and how they are aligned. Weight bearing CT is "our go-to imaging study," Dr. Baravarian said in the article. "With adequate diagnostic testing and proper patient and procedure selection, one can treat avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head with good to excellent outcomes," Dr. Baravarian said. Dr. Baravarian is the director of University Foot and Ankle Institute in Los Angeles. His practice offers weight bearing CT imaging services.

Case Study: pedCAT vs. Radiographs

A patient sought a second opinion for the cause of her medial foot and ankle pain. The treating physician used plain radiographs to diagnose her with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction/partial tear and degenerative joint disease of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tarsometatarsal joints. The treating physician also noted a “chip” of bone on the inside of the ankle. The treating physician planned on performing a flat foot reconstruction, a posterior tibial tendon repair, and a tarsometatarsal joint fusion. The physician performing the second opinion noted the patient’s discomfort over the medial ankle gutter was much more significant than over the posterior tibial tendon and the spring ligament. The patient had minimal discomfort through the tarsometatarsal joints. The physician performing the second opinion ordered a weight bearing pedCAT study to assess the midfoot DJD and to better evaluate the midtarsal joint and ankle joint. The pedCAT study clearly documented a degenerative process in the medial ankle gutter with a bony impingement. On secondary exam, the majority of the symptoms arose from the medial ankle gutter. If the flat foot reconstruction was performed as planned, the talus would have been dorsiflexed and the tibio-talar impingement would have been worsened. The pedCAT images helped prevent an un-necessary surgery, while directing the physician to the appropriate pathology.

pedCAT: Weight Bearing CT Views of Lisfranc conditions

Lisfranc injuries can easily be missed on traditional radiographs. One research study tried to determine the level of accuracy when using plain radiographs to assess midfoot conditions. Their results confirmed a high incidence of missed diagnosis even by experienced observers.¹ “Radiographic evaluation is crucial in the diagnosis…Weight bearing views are more sensitive since tarso-metatarsal instability may be revealed…The threshold for cross sectional imaging such as multi-detector CT should be low,” according to the study. With the pedCAT, it is possible to get a weight bearing, three dimensional scan at the point of care. The tarso-metatarsal joint can be viewed without any superimposition from surrounding anatomy. Delaying a 3D scan can be detrimental to recovery. “The identification of Lisfranc joint injury can be difficult and is often not detected on initial presentation to the accident department. This is important because of the correlation between delay in treatment, particularly more than six months, and poor functional outcome,” the study reported. Click on the blog post title to see examples of weight bearing CT scans of Lisfranc injuries.

Webinar: Dr. Erik Nilssen – A New Paradigm in Foot & Ankle Diagnosis

“Patients come to my practice with an expectation of a higher level of care, that they’re getting the best.

pedCAT: Will it Fit?

The pedCAT has been deployed to a range of medical facilities – from large hospitals to single physician practices. Each site has its own unique requirements, and CurveBeam works with each customer to ensure the first weight bearing CT scanner dedicated to the foot & ankle meets all safety requirements. Because the pedCAT is an ultra low dose device, the shielding infrastructure required is similar to that of a plain X-Ray device. The pedCAT does not need to be in a lead lined room. Because of its compact size and relatively minimal required shielding, the pedCAT can easily fit into a practice with limited space. Click on the title of this post to see some examples.

New Study: pedCAT Allows for More Accurate Bone Angle Measurements than Radiographs or CT

A study published in Foot and Ankle Surgery compared three common angle measurements of the foot taken from non-weight bearing CT, weight bearing digital radiographs, and weight bearing pedCAT scans. The study concludes, "The angles differed between radiographs, CT and pedCAT, indicating that only pedCAT is able to detect the correct angles... pedCAT prevents inaccuracies of projection and foot orientation in contrast to radiographs due to the 3D dataset which is principally independent from projection and foot orientation." The study also found the average image acquisition time for the pedCAT (average 270 seconds) was 70 percent faster than with radiographs and 35 percent faster than with CT. The study was authored by Martinus Richter, Bernd Seidl, Zech Stefan, and Sarah Hahn.

High Resolution Imaging

pedCAT scans give you one of the highest resolution views of the foot and ankle available. And those high resolution views are infinite - physicians can view the foot and ankle from the axial, coronal and sagittal planes by scrolling through .5 mm slices. The average medical CT slice, in comparison, is about 1 mm – 5 mm thick.

pedCAT: Improved Outcomes

The message at RSNA Annual Meeting this past November was clear: new US healthcare laws mean the practice of radiology is no longer about volume, but value. “We are focusing on quality metrics. It’s becoming important for us to become champions of quality in our institutions,” said Dr. Vijay Rao, MD, in a course at the meeting. How could a pedCAT add value to your practice? We might get an idea by looking at a comparable new technology. Breast tomosynthesis mammography provides 3D imaging for breast cancer screening, similar to the way the pedCAT provides 3D imaging for the foot and ankle. Breast tomosynthesis technology can detect breast cancers earlier than traditional 2D mammography, and can more accurately pinpoint the size, shape and location of abnormalities, according to the Massachusetts General Hospital Imaging Department. Dr. Liane Philpotts, professor of diagnostic radiology at the Yale School of Medicine, called tomosynthesis a “game changer” and a “win-win.” In the same way, the pedCAT eliminates variability, helps lead to better diagnoses, and makes both you and your patients more confident that treatment will result in better outcomes. Dr. Erik Nilssen, MD, said the pedCAT helps him determine exactly when to allow patients to ambulate, “based on our ability to monitor fracture healing and fusion rates.” Also, pedCAT scans can take the guesswork out of hindfoot alignment, said Dr. Martin O’Malley, MD, because they allow for reproducible measurements. “We’ve never had a reproducible measurement,” until now, he said.

pedCAT: Easy to Incorporate into Your Medical Facility

The pedCAT system and your iPhone charger have something in common…you can plug them both in anywhere! That’s right. The pedCAT plugs into any standard 120 volt power outlet (or 220 volt outlet in certain countries). We suggest the pedCAT be connected to a dedicated line to prevent interference from other equipment as a precaution, although it is not required. The pedCAT’s simple power requirements are one of the factors that make it easy to integrate into any office workflow – even offices that have limited free space. Click on the blog post title to see some examples.
