The startup provides mobile weight-bearing CT scanning services using low-dose cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology to deliver 3D imaging for orthopedic applications. By enabling detailed imaging of both feet and ankles in a single pass, the service enhances diagnostic accuracy and improves patient outcomes while minimizing radiation exposure.

Problem
Traditional CT scans often require patients to lie down, which doesn't accurately represent the natural weight-bearing conditions of the lower extremities. This can lead to misdiagnosis or incomplete assessment of orthopedic issues in the foot, ankle, knee, and hip. Furthermore, standard CT scans may involve higher radiation doses, posing potential risks with repeated imaging.
Solution
Standing CT provides mobile, weight-bearing CT scanning services using low-dose cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology. Their 3D imaging allows bones and joint spacing to be seen in a functional position. The technology captures detailed images of the lower limbs, from hip to toe, in a single scan. The system is designed to deliver a radiation dosage equivalent to a standard X-ray set, significantly less than conventional CT scans.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, hospitals, and clinics seeking advanced imaging solutions for diagnosing and managing lower extremity conditions.
Features
- Weight-bearing CT technology that captures 3D images under natural load conditions.
- Low-dose cone-beam CT (CBCT) minimizes radiation exposure.
- Comprehensive imaging of both feet/ankles, knees, and hips simultaneously for side-by-side comparison.
- Mobile scanning units bring the technology directly to clinics and hospitals.
