Full-body weight-bearing CT
with a low dose
Planmed XFI® is a unique cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system that provides comprehensive imaging of the entire body, from head to toe, in both standing (weight-bearing) and supine (lying-down) positions. With Planmed XFI, you can significantly enhance your orthopedic imaging capabilities.
High-quality 3D images
The detector of Planmed XFI offers an extensive field of view (FOV), enabling precise imaging of the entire body without exposing the patient to excess radiation.
The Planmed XFI CBCT scanner features a wide 85 cm opening and a broad field of view for imaging the whole body in both supine and weight-bearing positions. Its large flat-panel detector and high-power X-ray source rotate 360 degrees around the target, rapidly capturing detailed 3D views of the anatomy. The system delivers ultra-high resolution 3D images up to 75 microns, ensuring exceptional clarity and precision.
Low dose imaging with optimal image quality
As 3D imaging technology evolves, it is essential to balance its diagnostic benefits with the risks of radiation exposure, particularly for children who are more vulnerable. 3D imaging highlights the ALADA (As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable) principle, which encourages minimizing radiation exposure while maintaining image quality.
The pioneering Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ protocol successfully reduces Planmed XFI® scanner’s already low effective patient doses without compromising image quality. The unique imaging protocol is based on Planmeca’s intelligent 3D algorithms.
Benefits of 3D weight-bearing imaging
3D weight-bearing imaging is crucial for identifying musculoskeletal issues, especially in the lower back and pelvis, that are not apparent when the body is at rest. It enables surgeons to assess several key areas, such as spinal alignment, pelvic orientation, joint interactions, implant positioning, and functional status.
Incorporating this imaging into pre-surgical evaluations improves surgical decision-making, reduces the risk of complications, and enhances treatment outcomes. It overcomes the limitations of projection differences and overlapping structures, providing a more accurate anatomical representation in a natural, functional position. This technology offers better insights into joint space narrowing and other conditions that conventional methods might miss.
