Knee osteoarthritis (OA) clinical trials results show that weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging may offer new insights into OA pathology beyond what plain radiographs and MRI can provide. Some of these findings could immediately be translated into clinical practice as…
Key Points: While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) adequately detects the size and presence of osteophytes (OPs) in the medial tibio-femoral compartment, it underestimates OPs in all other knee compartments of osteoarthritic patients. CT may be helpful in the assessment of…
Dr. Cesar de Cesar Netto, MD, PhD, received the award for Top Paper in Foot and Ankle Classification by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) at the AAOS 2023 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas on March 8. He received…
Key Points: Weight bearing CT (WBCT) can detect signs of osteoarthritis (OA), such as osteophytes, subchondral cysts, and joint space narrowing better than radiographs. Emerging evidence suggests WBCT reveals meniscal extrusion not detected by MRI and WBCT arthrography visualizes meniscal…
Key Points: Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) imaging has facilitated the introduction of a new classification system for Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD), commonly known as flatfoot. WBCT is particularly useful in recognizing peritalar subluxation (PTS) components and impingements, which allows…
<Hatfield, Penn – January, 31, 2023> RedPoint Medical 3D (RPM-3D) announced that, when available, weight bearing computed tomography (WBCT) imaging is the preferred imaging input for its advanced surgical planning tools and patient-specific cut guides. RPM-3D's groundbreaking technology converts computed…
The medtech landscape is constantly evolving. Keeping up with those changes to maintain accreditation standards can be a challenge. CurveBeam AI’s Vinti Singh recently sat down with Nancy Davis to discuss how the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) ensures its standards…
Key Points: Up to 20% of subtle Lisfranc injuries are missed on initial plain films. Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) can be very helpful in identifying Lisfranc injuries, because it provides a functional 3D view of the injured side compared to…
The benefits of using weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging for pre-operative planning have been explored in-depth in recent peer-reviewed scientific publications. However, users of this low dose modality have found it useful for post-operative assessment of fracture healing as well…
Key Points: Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) has helped surgeons better understand the orientation and specifications of patients’ joints, and it allows for the development of individualized cutting guides that are both reliable and reproducible. Using preoperative WBCT for intraoperative procedures…
