3D diagnostic imaging for routine practice

Transforming Radiology

The Adaptix VetSA3D is built for overcoming specific veterinary challenges, with enhanced benefits including;

  • 3D diagnostic imaging in existing radiology rooms, without requiring large amounts of space or complex installation requirements  requiring large amounts
  • 3D x-ray enables more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, allowing better care for animals
  • The ability to acquire a ‘full-set’ of 3D dental images in a substantially quicker time than with intra-oral 2D x-rays, transforming the economics of dental care
Overview

Conventional 2D can often not allow for a condiment diagnosis. Current options are to refer for additional imaging such as a CT scan or having to move forward with a treatment plan with lower confidence on the actual diagnosis.

Referring away can lead to delays in treatment, additional cost and anxiety for the owner. Having 3D imaging at the point of care can improve both patient and outcome, owner satisfaction.

With in-house 3D imaging vet practices can retain and improve their revenue, helping to grow and promote their business.

Clinical Uses

Dental

Conventional Intraoral dental imaging can be very time consuming with inconsistent results. The Adaptix VetSA3D simplifies image acquisition, image review, diagnosis and ultimately the treatment planning. All this is done in a fraction of the time associated with standard Intraoral time, improving use of the anaesthetic time and the improving staff satisfaction with dental procedures.

Exotics

Exotics can often have high density overlying structures (spine or shells) which make interpretation of standard 2D imaging challenging and often impossible. With Digital Tomosynthesis the anatomy beneath these structures can easily be visualised improving diagnosis allowing for optimal treatment.

Orthopaedic

Orthopaedic injuries to companion animals are common, but can be difficult to identify (for instance fractures in spaniel’s elbows). Digital Tomosynthesis offers high in plane resolution (higher than conventional CT Scanners), enabling excellent visualisation of common pathology and injuries.

Bringing fast, low-dose 3D imaging into your practice

The portability, low-dose and enhanced diagnostic capability makes our imaging devices the future of clinical point-of-care veterinary imaging.

2D is the dominant imaging modality but gives a fundamentally limited view of anatomy. We are bringing 3D imaging to the point-of-care using portable and low-dose solutions.

The Adaptix Vet SA3D imaging system gives a stack of slices through the patient in 3D from a low-dose device.  3D veterinary imaging system has a cost and dose similar to existing 2D X-ray systems.

How it works

We take a series of low dose 2D projections from different positions and use them to reconstruct a 3D overview of the patient using a technique called tomosynthesis.

Reconstructed images are viewed as a stack which can be navigated using the mouse wheel, allowing features at different depths to be viewed independently.

The 3D reconstruction can reduce the need for multiple 2D images and lessens the need for stringent positioning protocols.
