Are all standing CT scanners the same?

Our scanners reliably image both feet and ankles, knees or hips in a single pass without the patient having to change their simple normal standing position. This gives referrers a true bilateral comparison. Other scanners (not ours) scan the forefoot or hindfoot separately and then use a software algorithm to stitch the images together.

Our scans are quick (30-60 seconds) and deliver a low radiation dosage. Our scanners have a walk-in access port and, where required, a seat and handrail. This means that elderly patients or patients in a plaster can be scanned more easily than with equipment which require the patient to climb up or into the scanner.
