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…
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is more accurate than X-Ray for predicting scaphiod healing at early follow-up (six weeks), thus enabling faster mobilization of patients and return to daily activity and work, according to a study published by Lucia Calisto et…
For professional athletes, injuries mean reduced playing time, impacted performance, and, in rare cases, an end to their careers. These injuries often affect the lower extremities, primarily because their sports require high-risk activities like jumping, cutting movements, and collision with…
Some degree of subtalar joint subluxation, as well as sinus tarsi impingement, was found in approximately 70 percent of patients with flexible adult acquired flat foot (AAFD) in a recent imaging study using MRI and weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging…
Injury to the syndesmosis often requires advanced imaging. Up until recently, the most common advanced imaging modality to evaluate this injury has been magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dr. Shadpour Demehri, MD, Associate Professor, Russell Morgan Department of Radiology, Johns Hopkins…
Gaining an accurate and complete measurement of the hindfoot alignment of a patient with adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is difficult when using traditional clinical assessment. In a paper published in the journal Foot and Ankle Surgery, Dr. Cesar de…
When orthopedic surgeons attempt to evaluate and manage osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) using conventional computed tomography (CT), they may overestimate their size. This, in turn, influences treatment strategies. Therefore, OLTs often warrant advanced imaging studies, especially in revision…
The syndesmosis is located just above the ankle where the tibia and fibula meet, providing stability to the ankle joint while allowing for its motion. A sprain, twist, rotational injury, or break to the ankle can stretch and tear the…
A study published in the International Journal of Biomedicine concludes Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging is the “method of choice” for compound anatomical structures, such as the wrist, and post-traumatic changes in bone tissue. “Considering the low dose radiation and…
Engineers, radiologists and physicians based in the UK have developed a new technique for improving clinical imaging. It uses an algorithm to create a detailed three-dimensional map of a patient’s joint using computed tomography (CT) data. The team, led by…
