Functional Hip & Knee Assessment with WBCT
With Weight Bearing CT you can gain an increased understanding of the functional aspects of patient conditions. The limitations of supine CT and weight bearing x-rays could hinder the ability to observe the joint under load. With only two distinct images, assessing pelvic tilt and the severity of deformities in both coronal and sagittal planes can become challenging. By using WBCT, you can more accurately diagnose the patient’s deformities.
Using WBCT can provide a clearer understanding of patients’ conditions but also can guide research directions. The shift towards more accurate information aligns with real-world scenarios, and improves patient care strategies.
