Planmeca Group announced 510(k) approval for its Planmed Verity Extremity Scanner. The scanner is used for X-ray CT of the anatomies of the upper and lower extremities.

According to a company press release, Planmed Verity is designed to find extremity fractures commonly missed using 2-D radiographs at the first visit to the clinic. Intended for preoperative and postoperative imaging, the scanner has better resolution, patient adaptability and is a significantly lower dose than full-body CT scanners. The scanner also has adjustable, soft-surfaced gantry and motorized positioning, and allows weightbearing imaging of the extremities.
