Key Points: The most important advantage of weight bearing CT (WBCT), which utilizes cone beam CT (CBCT) technology (a three-dimensional (3D) imaging modality) is immediate access to 3D images, resulting in faster and better diagnostic capabilities. Up to 40% of…
Key Points: Anterior tibial translation (ATT) and femorotibial rotation (FTR) are the two most common indicators of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. The effects of weight bearing have proven to increase the sensitivity to ATT in ACL injured knees…
Clinic short staffing in medical imaging departments presents a challenge, impacting patient care, patient leakage, and workflow efficiency. With cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging for orthopedics, your orthopedic department can ensure reliable access to necessary advanced diagnostic imaging exams. Unlike…
It is feasible for a single-practitioner podiatry practice to add weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging and realize economical and operational benefits, Dr. Nicholas Hugentobler, DPM, explained in a webinar titled, “Incorporating Weight Bearing CT Imaging into the Daily Podiatric Practice” on FOOTInnovate. Dr.…
"Cone beam CT reduces the barriers for orthopedic practices to offer CT imaging in-house," says Dr. Benjamin Stronach, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at UAMS Health. The footprint of a cone beam CT system is more manageable than a medical CT…
Weight bearing CT scans are helping us understand pediatric foot deformities better than ever before. Did you know 90% of children with cerebral palsy develop a foot deformity? Relative position and orientation of the talus, calcaneus, and navicular bones are…
Most recently, CurveBeam AI and Vent Creativity explored the use of weight bearing CT (WBCT) to better understand each patient’s individual knee kinematics. While there has been a tremendous amount of work done to better understand how the knee joint…
Key Points: Stress fractures should always be considered in athletes with ankle pain. This is the first published case in which weight bearing CT (WBCT) was used in diagnosis and surgical planning of a stress fracture. In the sport of…
The use of upright CT, also known as weight bearing CT (WBCT), is one of the biggest innovations in orthopedic imaging in the past decade, said Dr. Eric Bogner, MD Chief of the Division of CT at Hospital for Special…
Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD), previously known as adult-acquired flatfoot deformity, is a multifactorial disorder characterized by concurrent multiplanar bony deformities. These deformities include, but are not limited to, hindfoot valgus, flattening of the medial longitudinal…
