Clinical and Research Applications of Weight-Bearing CT | Orthopaedic Surgery Grand Rounds (RECORDING)

Tuesday, October 22, 2024, 12:00 AM - Thursday, October 21, 2027, 11:59 PM, On Demand

In this recorded Orthopedic Surgery Grand Rounds presentation, Orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon and Clinical Professor at Stanford Medicine Dr. Tonya An discusses clinical and research applications of weight-bearing CT. Dr. An begins her discussion with outlining the human pathophysiology of weight bearing and how weight-bearing and non-weight bearing imaging can provide different information. She next reviews the possible limitations of 2-dimensional imaging methods, such as artifacts, superimposition of structures and distortion (fan) effects. She then highlights why modern orthopedics have turned to 3-D imaging (CT) as the preferred method for imaging, which can provide much greater detail than 2-D methods. She then moves on to discuss the differences between convention CT and Cone-Beam CT imaging. Dr. An then discusses the application of CBCT in orthopedics, and the benefits a weight-bearing CT can provide for areas such as the foot and ankle, knees, hips, trauma and sport medicine, upper extremity, spine and pediatrics. Moving on, Dr. An addresses implementation of actionable protocols to integrate into practice with the 3D anatomical data providers can now access. She concludes with takeaways such as the increased safety over conventional CT, better healing assessment and how this technology will be best implemented and used to drive forward patient care forward.
