Key Points Semi-automatic measurements made on WBCT scans are reproducible and comparable to measurements performed manually. Software designed for WBCT help differentiate pathological from non-pathological conditions. Semi-automatic software tools can help orthopedic surgeons obtain more accurate diagnosis with WBCT and…
Key Points WBCT is able to discern a stable from an unstable syndesmosis. WB X-Rays lack sensitivity to diagnose cases of subtle syndesmotic instability, especially in the presence of Weber B ankle fractures. WBCT syndesmosis volume measurements spanning from the…
Weight bearing CT (WBCT) may be able to visualize changes in measures of hip instability not detected by supine views, according to a poster presented at the Orthopedic Research Society 2022 Annual Meeting in Tampa, Fla. Hip dysplasia is a…
The Achille Medical Center in Montpellier, France, in January, celebrated with an opening ceremony in January. Dr. Marie Aude-Munoz and colleagues represent diverse disciplines, but all specialize in advanced foot care. Critical to their practice is a CurveBeam pedCAT Premium.…
Internal rotation of the hip could be the root cause of ankle pathology, and weight bearing 3D views of the alignment from hip to toe could be critical to properly address lower extremity deformities, Mr. Andy Goldberg, OBE, a foot…
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…
Key Points A study from Hospital for Special Surgery found there is no correlation between 1st metatarsal pronation measured on weight bearing radiographs and 1st metatarsal pronation measured on weight bearing CT (WBCT). Researchers said WBCT should be considered the…
The Intenational Weight Bearing CT Society (IWBCTS) held its next symposium, titled "Recent Advances in 3D Imaging Applied to WBCT" at the Eurpean Foot & Ankle Society (EFAS) Congress in Lyon, France on Oct. 22, 2021. The session featured the…
Weight bearing CT (WBCT) can effectively differentiate between stable and unstable Lisfranc injuries, according to a recent study by Dr. Rohan Bhimani et al, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. WBCT demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity,…
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…
