Biplanar Full-Body X-Ray Imaging
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A new biplanar x-ray imaging system acquires simultaneous lateral and anteroposterior images while the patient is in a weight-bearing position The imaging system uses novel slot-scanning technology that can acquire simultaneous orthogonal whole-body images at a fraction of the radiation dose of standard x-rays Indications include pathologies that change under load: Spinal problems such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and osteoporotic fractures Lower limb problems, including alignment evaluation prior to joint replacement surgery and monitoring leg-length discrepancies in children and adolescents 3D images can be generated from the 2D views using statistical modeling

Idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents: assessment with a biplanar X-ray device
UNLABELLED Idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common conditions encountered in paediatric practice. It is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity. Conventional radiography is still the modality of choice for evaluation of children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, but it requires repeat radiographs until skeletal maturity is reached and does not provide information about spinal ...

متن کامل3d Reconstruction from Multi-view Medical X-ray Images – Review and Evaluation of Existing Methods
The 3D concept is extremely important in clinical studies of human body. Accurate 3D models of bony structures are currently required in clinical routine for diagnosis, patient follow-up, surgical planning, computer assisted surgery and biomechanical applications. However, 3D conventional medical imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have ...
متن کاملDistal femoral valgus osteotomy: bone healing time in single plane and biplanar technique
Varus deformity can be localized in the tibia, in the femur or in both. If varus deformity is localized within the femur, it is mandatory to correct it in the femur. This report presents the technique and results of a consecutive case series of lateral uniplanar and biplanar closed-wedge valgus osteotomy of the distal femur for the treatment of varus deformity of the knee. Retrospectively, fift...
متن کاملX-ray reconstruction of moving morphology (XROMM): precision, accuracy and applications in comparative biomechanics research.
X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) comprises a set of 3D X-ray motion analysis techniques that merge motion data from in vivo X-ray videos with skeletal morphology data from bone scans into precise and accurate animations of 3D bones moving in 3D space. XROMM methods include: (1) manual alignment (registration) of bone models to video sequences, i.e., Scientific Rotoscoping; (2) ...
