Orthopaedic

Carestream is partnering with leading orthopaedic and sports medicine specialists to develop a new three-dimensional medical imaging system (investigational – not available for commercial sale) for capturing images of patient extremities (knees, legs, feet, arms and hands). Initial clinical studies will focus on the advantages of using cone beam CT (CBCT) technology in the diagnosis and treatment of knee injuries. This system is designed for use by orthopaedic surgeons, who met at the annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons conference. Imaging systems based on CBCT technology can be used in treating orthopaedic conditions. Carestreams new CBCT system is designed to provide weight-bearing images of knees, legs and feet, which are difficult to obtain.

We are focused on applying CBCT technology for extremity imaging because it offers excellent visualisation of soft tissue and bone with systems that are smaller and more affordable than CT systems

Nole, President, This system may be adopted for use in urgent care facilities and clinics, athletic training facilities, and orthopaedists and other specialty practice offices This system may be adopted for use in urgent care facilities and clinics, athletic training facilities, and orthopaedists and other specialty practice offices 44 May / 2015 ehealth.eletsonline.com Digital Medical Solutions, Carestream.

Carestreams new extremity system may be adopted for use in urgent care facilities and clinics, athletic training facilities, and orthopaedists and other specialty practice offices.

This system could make it easier to obtain diagnostic exams immediately following an injury and help improve uation and treatment

, Nole explained.

Nole added that Carestream is working with top orthopaedic care providers and leading sports medicine experts to help guide current and future product development initiatives. The companys development efforts include an agreement forged two years ago between Carestream and the Buffalo Bills with the goal of aiding Carestreams understanding of the use of advanced medical imaging technology in early detection and monitoring of player injuries. This partnership continues to focus on the need for new technology to help address key concerns in sports medicine
