EXTREMITY

IMAGING

Detecting extremity fractures that are not clearly visible on a planar X-ray is a common clinical challenge in orthopaedic surgery. Incorrect diagnosis of a suspected scaphoid fracture in the wrist can lead to delayed treatment or unnecessary immobilisation. A dedicated, portable desktop device to image the distal extremities could increase the diagnostic accuracy in a timely matter and reduce the need for costly CT exams and provide necessary tools to assess bone healing.
 

• Point of care 3D extremity imaging from a compact desktop device
   

• Reduced referrals to CT can save cost, radiation and time to diagnosis
   

• Can be set up for example in an orthopaedic office, ski resort clinics, fracture clinics
   

• Assessment of long-term conditions such as arthritis imaging
