CurveBeam of Warrington, PA received European regulatory approval for its PedCAT foot and ankle cone-beam CT scanner. Cone-beam technology allows the scanner to be small enough for in-office setup while delivering a very limited radiation dose compared to traditional CT.
The system can be used during weight-bearing and non-weight bearing examinations for preoperative planning, fracture and dislocation detection, for monitoring arthritis, and early detection of osteomyelitis. It provides both 3D and crossectional navigation of the rendered images.
