CLICK AND DRAG TO SEE PEDCAT IN ACTION
Bilateral, weight bearing scans of the foot & ankle give physicians the information they need to assess the biomechanical spatial relationships and alignment of the lower extremities.
OPERATIONAL BENEFITS
Compact
Systems can be sited in small spaces and next to existing imaging equipment. Cooling systems are not required. System weight is 400lbs/181kg.
Easy to Install
Systems fit through a standard doorway and plug into a standard wall outlet.
Self-Shielded
CurveBeam AI systems are self-shielded, and independent assessments have concluded that scatter radiation is close to zero once you reach a distance of six feet from the unit. Therefore, in most cases, minimal to no shielding modifications are required for CurveBeam AI system installations. However, only a qualified medical physicist may make this determination.
What Physicians are Saying...
“I request very few ordinary X-Rays now, since the Cone Beam CT replaces what I used to get only with BOTH weight bearing X-Ray and CT scans.”
“The weight bearing CT changed my daily practice. In former times we did standard X-Rays with weight bearing first and then if we were interested in 3D imaging, we sent the patient to CT. This could take days or even weeks. Now, I have everything together in one minute.”
“True deformity analysis should be performed in the patient’s normal stance position, not in artificial constructs.”

Low Dose
The effective radiation dose of pedCAT 3D scan is comparable to a few hours of equivalent background radiation. To put it in perspective, a pedCAT scan effective radiation dose is at most about 6 micro Sieverts, and the average person in the U.S. receives an effective radiation dose of about 3000 micro Sieverts per year from naturally occurring radioactive materials and cosmic radiation from outer space.
