Realization of DR whole spine imaging Choice of multi-image stitching or one-shot imaging?

 For orthopedic diseases such as scoliosis, osteoarthritis, etc., DR examination is often needed as the main basis for diagnosis and treatment of lesions. It is important to take a full spine X-ray image including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae in order to assess the status of the spine. X-rays of only half of the spine will only show part of the spine, which is not convenient for the doctor to make a judgment.

DR commonly used flat-panel detector specifications are mostly 17×17 inches (about 43×43 cm), while the normal length of the whole spine in adults is about 60 cm, and the whole lower limbs are even longer, so the conventional DR can not show the whole shape of the whole spine and the whole lower limbs.

Large flat-panel DR for whole spine imaging

In order to realize the effect of full spine imaging by DR, the industry mostly adopts DR equipment with the function of automatic splicing of long bones, i.e., several overlapping images are spliced together to form a large seamless high-resolution image.

However, it is undeniable that this method requires multiple exposures of the patient, which not only prolongs the shooting time and radiation dose, but also exposes a larger range of radiation, making it more difficult to protect non-shooting areas. As a result, a large flat-panel DR capable of realizing one-time imaging without splicing came into being.

PLX8600 is a large-field dynamic flat-panel DR independently developed by Perlove Medical, which adopts an effective field of view of 17″*34″ and can produce a full spine image in one exposure. This not only eliminates misalignment errors at the splices, but also avoids image gaps and distortions, clearly restores the joint structure, and also reduces radiation intake due to multiple shots, improving filming efficiency.

As can be seen from the following, in terms of realizing full spine imaging with DR, the Large Field of View flat-panel DR is superior to the ordinary DR with automatic splicing of multiple images in all aspects.

How to Perform Special Position Photography with Suspending Digital DR?

图片
  In the rapid development of inspection technology is rapidly changing today, digital DR technology is one of the indispensable inspections in medical imaging department. Digital DR is mainly divided into: bed type, double column type, sickle arm type, suspended digital DR. Among them, the suspended digital DR has a suspended head, the bulb tube can be lifted up and down, and can be along the sky track for horizontal and vertical movement, so that its shooting range is larger compared with other DR, and at the same time, the movement is more flexible. POLYDER Suspended Digital DR is more efficient than conventional X-ray spot filming for complex body positioning photography through rapid fluoroscopic positioning. Suspending Digital DR Suspending Digital DR Specialized Positioning Photography – Weight-bearing Position Non-weight-bearing films in the foot and ankle position can miss deformities in the alignment of bone structures and abnormal changes in the joint cavity.

Exploring the price and cost-effectiveness of spinal surgery robots

图片
  As technology continues to evolve, spinal surgical robots have become an important technology in the medical field. However, the cost of purchasing a spinal surgical robot remains a non-negligible issue for many healthcare organizations. First, let’s look at spine surgery robot prices. According to market research, a spinal surgery robot typically costs between $1 million and $3 million, not including follow-up costs such as installation, maintenance, and training. This price is undoubtedly a huge investment for most healthcare organizations. However, considering the multiple benefits of spinal surgery robots, such as increased success rates, shorter recovery times, and fewer medical errors, this investment seems necessary. Perlove Medical Spine Surgery Robot Next, let’s explore the cost-effectiveness of surgical robots: First , spinal surgery robots can significantly reduce the incidence of medical errors. According to statistics, medical errors caused by human factors account for u

Radiological equipment丨The Solution for Percutaneous Kyphoplasty in Women

图片
  Compression fractures, particularly in women over the age of 66, are a common clinical cause that can greatly impact one’s quality of life. A leading solution for this condition is   percutaneous kyphoplasty , a minimally invasive procedure that has shown remarkable effectiveness in alleviating pain and restoring vertebral height. Perlove Medical, a renowned medical technology company,  offers an innovative robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty solution that has revolutionized treatment outcomes. Understanding the Problem: Compression fractures often occur due to osteoporosis or trauma and can lead to severe pain, reduced mobility, and even disability. Women over the age of 66 are particularly susceptible to these fractures due to age-related bone density loss. Treating this condition promptly is crucial for preventing further complications. The Solution: Perlove Medical  has developed a state-of-the-art robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty solution that addresses key challenges
