Bettendorf, Iowa-based ORA Orthopedics added a Planmed XFI Cone-beam CT Scanner, a weight-bearing imaging system.
The practice is the first in the U.S. to offer the technology, according to a May 19 news release. The system captures images while patients are standing, sitting or in other weight-bearing positions.
“What sets this scanner apart is its ability to capture highly detailed, 3D images while the patient is in a natural, weight-bearing position, giving us a more complete understanding of how joints function so we can diagnose more confidently and plan more precise care,” Andrew Bries, MD, ORA medical director, said in the release.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
