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…
Key Points Weight bearing CT (WBCT) combined with coverage mapping (CM) and 3D distance mapping (DM) techniques may help improve understanding of bone positioning and interactions through the transverse tarsal joint (TTJ) in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). Patients with…
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: The Kellgren Lawrence (KL) grade is the most common system used to classify osteoarthritis (OA) severity, but it is a subjective evaluation with fair or poor reliability. Researchers described a new method of quantifying ankle osteoarthritis (OA) by…
<HATFIELD, Penn. - September 12, 2022> CurveBeam AI, Ltd announced its medical diagnostic software, OssView™, has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Device Designation. OssView calculates a Structural Fragility Score (SFS), which determines bone microstructural deterioration, a highly…
