Key Points: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a three-dimensional (3D) imaging modality, can readily evaluate complex joint structures. The most important radiographic (X-Ray) criterion used in surgical decision making for osteoarthritis is joint space narrowing (JSN), or the loss of…
There is a new era in hip dysplasia evaluation when it comes to advanced imaging. WBCT now enables a functional examination of femoral head coverage and specific areas of impingement while the patient is standing rather than lying supine. For…
Key Points: WBCT 3D Measurements volumetric measurements of the syndesmosis have shown to have a high specificity (83.3%) and sensitivity (95.8%) for the diagnosis of subtle injuries. Manual 3D WBCT volume measurement of syndesmosis, a promising method to detect instability,…
Lisa Smith, MHA, OTR/L, CHT, CHC, Chief Operating Officer for Optim Orthopedics in Savannah, Georgia, shares how their weight bearing CT system has become a valued on-site service at their practice. "Our physicians love the fact that [our WBCT scanner]…
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…
Jeff McPherson, MBA, FACMPE, East Tennessee Market President, Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance, highlights says weight bearing CT has become an integral part of the practice. Patients no longer have to go off-site for CT scans. "It's a great opportunity for [patients]…
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…
Key Points: Subtle Lisfranc injuries often go undiagnosed which can lead to devastating consequences and poor functional outcomes for elite athletes. An augmented stress weight bearing CT (WBCT) is a simple technique to improve the ability to detect subtle Lisfranc…
Join us to hear firsthand from Dr. Prater as he shares insights on executing the first patient-specific total knee replacement planned using a weight-bearing CT scan. This webinar is a must-attend for orthopedic surgeons, medical professionals, and radiologists. Secure your…
Weight bearing CT (WBCT) allows the patient to stand upright while a gantry rotates around them. The CT scan provides information about the patient's anatomy when it is supporting the patient's body weight. In this video, Cesar de Cesar Netto,…
