Planmed (Helsinki,
Finland) has received FDA clearance for its Verity extremity cone beam
CT scanner. The Verity acquires high resolution volumetric (3D) images
of the extremities at low radiation dose. It performs volumetric imaging
with multi-planar reconstruction and volume rendering, providing
optimal visualization of fractures and deformations. Standard image
resolution is 0.2mm isotropic, and an optional high resolution mode
boosts that to 0.1mm.
