Our Bony Extremities Service specializes in 3D imaging of the lower and upper extremities, transforming traditional 2D CT or MRI scans into three-dimensional reconstructions. These images are can be useful for visualizing the complex bony structures of the leg, ankle, foot, shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning.
For lower extremity imaging, our service provides detailed views of the leg, ankle, and foot, useful for assessing fractures and planning surgeries. For upper extremities, we offer imaging of the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions.
Additionally, our service is valuable for planning Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgeries. We create 3D reconstructions of the knee joint, offering clear views of bones, existing grafts, and the joint's overall geometry to support precise surgical planning.
Our Safran Hip Service provides 3D imaging focusing on the bony morphology of the hips, specifically tailored for Dr. Safran's diagnostic interests. This service highlights critical aspects of hip structure, including potential impingement at the femoral head/neck junction, femoral head/acetabular rim, the presence of loose bony bodies within the hip joint, and cases of over-coverage by the acetabulum.
Our imaging approach emphasizes structural integrity and potential sources of discomfort or mobility issues. We use standard 3D reconstructions along with coronal and sagittal multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) batches. These imaging techniques allow for precise visualization of the hip anatomy, aiding Dr. Safran in assessing impingement, loose bodies, and over-coverage with exceptional detail.
By focusing on these specific structural aspects, the Safran Hip Service may support targeted diagnostic assessments and enabling tailored treatment plans.
