Cone Beam Computed Tomography diagnostic imaging system dedicated to the foot and ankle. Compatible with 230 Volts power outlet. 3D field of view of 20 cm (height) x 35 cm (diameter) accommodates weight bearing, bilateral imaging of both entire feet/ankles. Built-in cushioned seat allows for non-weight bearing imaging. Handlebars assist patients with entry into and exit from device. Scan time is 48 seconds or less. Scans are output as DICOM compatible 3D reconstructions, 0.3 mm multi-planar slices. PedCAT system includes acquisition station and visualization station enabled with CubeVue visualization software.
An assembly of diagnostic x-ray computed tomography (CT) devices having a gantry whose design limits its use to head and neck and/or extremity imaging applications. Included are single or multiple fixed annular arrays of x-ray tubes and opposing detectors or x-ray tube(s) and opposing detector assemblies that rotate rapidly around a central axis point within the gantry imaging area. It can produce two and/or three-dimensional (3-D) cross-sectional (tomographic) images, including spiral CT or other imaging applications at multiple specified angles in relation to body position. It may use a variety of digital techniques for information capture, image reconstruction, and display.
