3D Digital Imaging Benefit Podiatry Clinics

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 15 Jun 2016
A new scanning system captures high-resolution, full-color three-dimensional (3D) models of the foot in a range of positions to enable dynamic orthotics.

The CryoScan3D system is a highly versatile device that can scan the foot in full-, semi- and non-weight bearing positions, removing the need for plaster casts or foam boxes, and providing a scalable and fast solution for digital capture of patient foot data. More...
The system uses Fuel3D scanning technology to deliver high-level precision, capturing 3D data (in color), in less than 0.1 seconds, a time short enough to remove distortions resulting from patient movement.

With a scan accuracy of 250 microns and no moving parts, the scanner offers high reliability. When used together with the CryoVizion postural condition assessment system, the CryoScan3D can also provide podiatrists with a complete solution for assessing, capturing, and creating custom dynamic orthotics, which can guide the foot to its proper movement without immobilizing it, preserving and stimulating foot strength, flexibility, and mobility while being corrected. The CryoScan3D and CryoVizion systems are products of Cryos Technologies (Joliette, Canada).

“The CryoScan3D is a real game-changer for podiatry, and will allow us to offer Cryos dynamic orthotics to even more clinics across North America,” said John Stimpson, President of Cryos Technologies. “3D scanning allows you to capture patient data anywhere and transmit it electronically. With this new system in place, what you scan is exactly what you will get from a Cryos orthotic – a fully customized device, rather than the closest match from a template library.”

Orthotics is concerned with the design, manufacture, and application of orthoses, externally applied devices used to modify structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system. An orthosis may be used to control, guide, limit or immobilize an extremity, joint or body segment; restrict movement in a given direction; aid rehabilitation from fractures after the removal of a cast; and provide easier movement capability or reduce pain by postural correction.
