Product Overview
The Planmed Verity is a cost-effective, space-saving extremity CT scanner that’s designed for effective lower extremity exams. With a few core modifications, it can also be used for head and neck exams.
Use the Planmed Verity to assess fractures and malunions. You can also use it to evaluate the healing of fractures with no need for cast removal. In addition, your team can use the Planmed Verity for preoperative planning.
Key features of the Planmed Verity include the following:
- Weight-bearing capabilities, which allow your team to spot issues like impingement that might be disguised in a typical exam
- Stitching algorithms that combine images into a single view for extended exams
- True 3D vision that can help your team gather important information and make an accurate diagnosis
- Simplified clinical workflows that allow your team to focus on patient care
Core Features of the Planmed Verity
The Planmed Verity is a compact and versatile CT scanner that produces exceptional 3D images. While the final images are crisp, patients are exposed to very low doses of radiation.
The Planmed Verity offers high-quality 3D images at a significantly reduced radiation dose. Built-in algorithms can reduce blurring and artifacts, providing your diagnostic team with the information they need to serve patients effectively.
Core features of the Planmed Verity include the following:
- Weight-bearing image capture capability
- Open gantry
- Self-shielded mobility
- Motorized patient positioning
- Compact design
Some orthopedic issues aren’t visible in traditional screening applications. The Planmed Verity is the first of its kind that can capture images in natural weight-bearing environments.
Use this tool for images of the toes, ankles, feet, and knees. Your team can also compare seated and weight-bearing images side by side.
The open design allows for quick and effective patient positioning. For example, your team can lift the gantry to a horizontal position for weight-bearing imaging applications. This increases comfort for both staff and patients.
The Planmed Verity is a mobile device with a compact design, allowing it to fit into almost any existing radiology room. It also requires very little shielding, allowing it to sit next to your existing equipment without any issues.
Traditional CT machines often require technicians to manually position patients in difficult positions. The Planmed Verity is motorized, so your staff can spend less time pushing on patients and more time comforting them.
With its compact design, the Planmed Verity can fit into almost any existing radiology department. You won’t need extensive remodeling or construction to start using this machine to serve patients.
Technology
The Planmed Verity represents technological innovation. These are a few of the advances that come standard in each machine:
The Planmed Verity is one of the first devices that provides cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for orthopedic applications. This tool captures a large amount of data in a single rotation. It captures clear images with a low dose of radiation when compared to traditional CT.
CBCT has been used for years in dentistry and ENT, but it’s relatively rare in orthopedics. This machine represents a breakthrough in imaging.
Many orthopedic patients attend their exams with implants, fixators, and other metal devices embedded in their bones. The Planmed Verity has an included algorithm that can identify and account for these items.
Reconstruction enables your team to maximize the potential of the images they capture. This step takes place in real-time and can reduce the need for retakes and adjustments. A sophisticated algorithm performs this step in seconds with a high degree of accuracy.
The Planmed Verity is easy for your team to operate. A touchscreen enables your operators to select from preprogrammed exam settings and adjust them while maintaining close attention to patient care. No extensive training is required to use the machine.
The Planmed Verity is designed to communicate quickly and effectively with your existing systems. DICOM connectivity ensures that you don’t need to invest in additional solutions to maximize the value of the images you capture.
