3D Quantification of Knee Joint Space Width with WBCT, Non-WBCT & WBXR: A Comparison Key Points: On WBCT, 25% of the femorotibial compartments showed bone-on bone apposition, which was significantly higher when compared to NWB-CT and WB-XR. For patients with…
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) arthrogram can diagnose osteochondral (OCD) lesions in the ankle in high correlation with conventional CT arthrogram - but with up to 10 times less radiation, according to preliminary results of a recent study. Dr. Mickael Tordjman,…
Dr. Kent Ellington, MD, a foot and ankle surgeon at OrthoCarolina, said he orders a weight bearing CT (WBCT) scan for pre-planning every total ankle replacement procedure he performs. Dr. Ellington presented a series of cases in a booth…
Key Points Compared to controls, WBCT scans of hallux valgus (HV) & hallux rigidus (HR) patients confirmed signs of first ray instability at the TMT joint are often present. Dorsal translation of the M1 and plantar gapping were other common…
Bio-integrative (BI) cannulated screws may be a preferred alternative to metallic implants to decrease implant-related artifacts (IRA) as they may remove the need for special CT metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithms, according to a recent study by Dr. Christian VandeLune…
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…
Introducing a cone beam CT (CBCT) device into a French emergency room’s radiology department resulted in up to a 62.9% decrease in radiation dose to patients as compared to conventional medical CT (MDCT) and a 23.6% increase in patient turnover…
A group of radiologists from the Netherlands and Italy are asking if 3D angle measurements taken on weight bearing CT scans should be the new standard for foot & ankle evaluation. Automated 3D analyses of the foot & ankle using…
Patients use technology in their everyday lives, and recognize when orthopedic practices make investments to deliver the best possible care in the shortest amount of time. In-house 3D imaging not only provides a one-stop-shop experience to your patients, but also…
Provide a Personalized Assessment of Knee Arthritis Custom solutions for knee osteoarthritis (OA) deserve custom imaging solutions as well. In-office standing CT (WBCT) allows the surgeon to make timely decisions on the appropriateness of partial vs. total knee replacement procedures.…
