Foot & Ankle

Traditional scans capture anatomy under unloaded conditions. WBCT visualises joint alignment and bone mechanics under true physiological load, empowering surgeons to plan with unprecedented precision.

By quantifying angles, space, and alignment in full weight-bearing, WBCT turns subjective assessment into objective metrics, reducing surgical uncertainty and improving patient outcomes.

Knee

A typical WBCT scan completes in under 30 seconds with lower radiation dose than standard CT, accelerating decision-making in busy clinics and trauma units.

Understanding the Added Value of WBCT in Clinical Practice

Advantages of Choosing WBCT Over Conventional CT or X-ray

Yes. The major advantage of WBCT is that it is performed under real physiological load conditions (with the patient standing). While traditional imaging does not reflect true functional alignment under pressure, WBCT ensures total accuracy by showing exactly how joints and bones behave under the patient’s own weight.

Yes, WBCT uses a significantly lower radiation dose. While conventional computed tomography (CT) often exposes the patient to higher levels of radiation, WBCT technology is optimized to offer high resolution with maximum safety.

WBCT provides a full, highly detailed 3D reconstruction, allowing for precise evaluation of bone morphology and alignment from all angles. In contrast, traditional imaging offers only limited 3D views or relies purely on 2D projections (like standard X-rays).

No, the procedure is extremely fast. The complete image acquisition (scan duration) is typically finished in about 30 seconds. Traditional imaging scans are often slower and may require multiple patient repositionings.

WBCT uses advanced digital measurement tools that are often AI-assisted, ensuring precise, standardized, and automated diagnostics. In traditional imaging, these measurements still rely on manual processes, which can increase subjectivity.
