Supine CT May Underestimate Contact Stress in Critical WB Regions of the Acetabulum Compared to Weight Bearing CT
Key Points: Computational models of the hip often omit patient-specific functional orientation when placing imaging-derived bony geometry into anatomic landmark-based coordinate systems for application of joint loading schemes. Significant differences are found when incorporating WBCT-derived data suggesting non-weight bearing (NWB)…
Researchers Aim to Define Standard Values for Measuring Syndesmosis Injury on WBCT
Key Points: Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) allows for bilateral comparative data that is imperative when diagnosing ankle syndesmosis. Side-to-side volume differences of 19% or greater may be indicative of an abnormality. Gender norms are important to consider when evaluating ankle…
Fewer Missed Diagnoses: The Power of Point-of-Care Weight Bearing CT Imaging
Weight bearing CT is more than just a modality for functional imaging — "it’s a complete workflow revolution," for point-of-care access and diagnosis, said Dr. François Lintz, MD, PhD, FEBOT. Traditional imaging methods like X-ray can miss up to 40%…
Weight Bearing CT: A Game-Changer for Assessment of Knee Instability and ACL Injuries
Weight bearing CT offers a new way to evaluate knee instability and ACL injuries.- a fast, low-radiation, and highly detailed 3D imaging alternative to traditional methods. In a recent talk at AAOS 2025, Dr. Camillo Helito, MD, PhD, Prof highlighted…
Improving Orthopedic Surgery with Digital Twinning
Advancements in CT imaging are transforming orthopedic surgery, reducing surprises and improving surgical outcomes. In a recent talk, Gilly Yildirim, CEO of Vent Creativity, introduced digital twinning—an innovative approach that converts standard diagnostic 3D medical imaging into dynamic, 4D models…
Advantages of WBCT Measurement Parameters in Hallux Valgus
When it comes to hallux valgus (bunion) deformity, weight bearing CT provides significant advantages over conventional radiography. "Its ability to provide detailed 3D visualization, coupled with automated measurement techniques and AI integration, allows for a more precise assessment of the…
CurveBeam AI Industry Symposium at Belgian Knee Society Conference
WBCT Imaging: An Emerging Modality in Orthopedics Itinerary: Introduction & technical overview of orthopedic weight bearing CT imaging Presented by CurveBeam AI Literature review Presented by Dr. Philippe Van Overschelde, MD A Proposed New Method for Measuring Leg Alignment Presented…
WBCT-Based Method to Detect Implant Loosening Shows Promise
Key Points: Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) uses X-Ray and markers inserted into the bone intraoperatively to assess implant migration and fixation. Model-based RSA (MBRSA) improves upon RSA by incorporating 3D implant CAD models. In one study, weight bearing CT (WBCT)-RSA was…
