Introducing TRUE 3D Weight Bearing Imaging for Foot & Ankle
You can t know what you don t see.
Take a stand for uncompromised vision in foot & ankle diagnosis. The power and precision of pedcat puts optimal treatment planning at your fingertips for greater confidence of increased predictability in surgical outcomes. The first TRUE weight bearing CT imaging system, pedcat is the in-office solution for advanced diagnostic imaging requirements of foot and ankle surgeons. page 3
Greater Information - Optimized Treatment Capture 3D Volume to add a new dimension to diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment planning. Reveal indications under true physiologic weight bearing loads without bony superimpositions and plan with greater accuracy. Preoperative Planning Make precise assessments of relative bone positions and angulations for treating Hallux Valgus, Hallux Limitus/ Rigidus, Metatarsal weight bearing parabola, Midfoot dislocation, Flat foot correction, Rearfoot fusion, etc. Determine quality of bone as noted by the absence or presence of bone cysts Diagnose, Confirm or Rule Out Fractures Accurately identify the number, size and position of fracture fragments Identify the relationship between the fracture and adjacent joints Evaluate joint depression and complex neuropathic arthropathy Scan Evaluate Subluxations & Dislocations Metatarsophalangeal joints Lisfrancs joint Flat foot conditions Neuropathic arthropathy Evaluate Arthritic Joints Early detection of rheumatoid erosions Hallux Limitus Midfoot, rearfoot and ankle arthritis Charcot neuropathic arthropathy Early Detection of Osteomyelitis Confirm the suspicion of early bone erosion or lysis Intervene early to minimize damage Plan page 4
Communicate STAND & SCAN your patient in 68 seconds or less TREATMENT PLAN with intuitive yet powerful visualization software. Review data in multiple slice planes: axial, coronal, sagittal, and 3D renderings. Make distance and angle measurements. COMMUNICATE via 3D visualization with the patient for greater plan acceptance. Put Advanced Imaging Technology to work for you. CAPTURE RELEVANT DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION NOT SEEN IN PLAIN X-RAY: Cone beam CT provides 3D volumetric data with undistorted and unobstructed anatomical details. POINT-OF-CARE: Compact design facilitating in-office accessibility. PROVEN TECHNOLOGY: Cone Beam CT imaging has revolutionized treatment paths in dental and ENT practices in the past 10 years, and is now being adapted by the foot and ankle community.

Clinical Cases Assess bone quality as indicated by the presence or absence of bone cysts. Scroll through image slices to thoroughly evaluate the size and location of pathology. Bone cyst, sagittal slice Bone cysts, coronal slice Bone cysts, axial slice Bone cyst, sagittal slice Assess Arthritic joints based upon loss of joint spaces, periarticular spurs and subchondral bone. Bone cyst, axial slice page 6
Preoperative planning of the metatarsal weight bearing parabola. Early detection Metatarsal Parabola, coronal slice with measurements Preoperatively plan calcaneal medial displacement osteotomy. Identify the weight bearing position of the calcaneal tubercle in relation to the ankle mortise. The surgeon may then determine the amount of medial calcaneal displacement needed to place the medial calcaneal tubercle in the optimal position. Coronal slice Planning calcaneal medial displacement osteotomy, 3D rendering, axial, sagittal and coronal slices page 7
Diagnose, confirm or rule out fractures with greater precision. Clearly identify the relationship between the fracture and adjacent joints. Fractured Navicular, axial slice Fractured Navicular, sagittal slice Fractured Navicular, 3D rendering Evaluate subluxations and dislocations. Midfoot fracture-dislocation, axial slice Midfoot fracture-dislocation, sagittal slice Midfoot dislocation, 3D rendering page 8
Evaluate Detect and better assess bone spurs. Midfoot bone spur, coronal slice Midfoot bone spur, 3D rendering Confirm the suspicion of early bone erosion or lysis consistent with the diagnosis of osteomyelitis, allowing for more prompt and aggressive treatment of osteomyelitis. Early detection osteomyelitis, axial slice page 9
