Carestream announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Carestream OnSight 3-D Extremity System which uses cone beam CT technology to capture weight-bearing and other extremity exams.
According to a company press release, the system is affordable and offers high-quality lower-dose 3-D imaging for orthopedic and sports medicine practices, hospitals, imaging centers, urgent care facilities and other health care providers. The new extremity imaging system reportedly allows health care providers to perform patient consultations in one visit.
“Our extremity imaging system can help in treating a host of orthopedic conditions that affect the biomechanical behavior of the joints, such as arthritis, meniscus loss, instability and malalignment syndromes,” Helen Titus, Carestream’s worldwide marketing director for ultrasound and CT solutions, said in the release. “This new system offers less radiation than traditional CT systems while delivering excellent image quality.”
The system is scheduled to be demonstrated at the American Society for the Surgery of the Hand Annual Meeting.
