WR-3D upright cone beam CT spine and knee joint clinical application value".

At the beginning of the conference, Mr. Du Jing brought the innovative technology of digital X-ray - "WR-3D Upright Cone Beam CT Spine and Knee Joint Clinical Application Value".

WR-3D upright cone beam CT is a weight-bearing dynamic 3D image reconstruction system, its greatest clinical value is to solve the current digital X-ray can not be completed in the weight-bearing state of 3D photographic scanning and image reconstruction, and the biggest difference with CT MRI is that WR-3D can complete the image scanning of patients in the natural standing position under the condition of ensuring image quality. Due to the Cone-Beam conical beam imaging technology used in WR-3D, it can obtain a larger cone angle and Z-axis coverage, and through the small pixel size of the flat panel detector and the characteristics of circular scanning, the cone beam imaging has the characteristics of low dose, high spatial resolution, and three-dimensional spatial isotropy, and its dose is only 10% to 20% of the traditional MSCT according to clinical comparison. At the same time, the WR-3D adopts a non-isocentric scanning method, which makes the FOV reach the industry's largest range of 350mm, effectively covering the chest, abdomen and both lower limbs, and effectively supporting the whole body examination.

Through Mr. Du Jing's introduction, it was learned that the current WR-3D examination can cover the hip joint, knee joint, foot and ankle, lumbar spine, cervical spine and other parts. According to the three-dimensional imaging, it can accurately reflect the joint status of the patient under weight-bearing conditions, solve the source of pain in the standing position, and make up the CT and MRI. It also covers the entire spine and lower limb scans, and can be completed in just three minutes. For the increasingly frequent adolescent scoliosis and a large number of elderly people with knee arthritis and other diseases caused by the aging population, WR-3D can not only provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment, high examination efficiency, but also help preoperative planning and postoperative recovery examination, it can be said that WR-3D has opened a new chapter in spine and knee joint examination.

Team leader Liu Xiaomei reported on "Imaging Measurement Methods and Strategies for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis".

Subsequently, Liu Xiaomei, head of the trauma PO** team of the West China Prosthetic and Orthotic Center, brought you "Imaging Measurement Methods and Strategies for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis". Team leader Liu Xiaomei said that at present, the commonly used imaging evaluation methods for adolescent scoliosis are mainly X-rays, which have fast imaging speed and can give a faster assessment of the patient's spine. At the same time, the problems of unclear bone information of two-dimensional plain films, inaccurate measurement data of non-weight-bearing positions, and dose radiation are also proposed. According to a large number of clinical data, CT can directly observe the degree of vertebral rotation and bone structure, but there is a problem of radiation and can only observe some segments of the vertebral bodyStereoscopic imaging can be carried out in the posterior anterior and lateral positions, X-ray and digitized processing into three-dimensional images at the same time, but there are still problems such as a small amount of ionizing radiation, complex operation, and simplified three-dimensional structure of scoliosisAlthough MRI has no ionizing radiation and can provide high-quality 3D images and assessment of scoliosis, it is expensive, takes a long time to operate, and has poor imaging of bone3D ultrasound is not only free of ionizing radiation, but also provides real-time dynamic images, but it has the problem of inaccurate measurement of curve angle.

Dr. Liang Zejun reported on the clinical research results of orthostatic cone beam tomography technology

Dr. Liang Zejun, Department of Radiology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, reported on the "Clinical Research Results of Upright Cone Beam Tomography Technology", through the analysis of three-dimensional parameter measurement data, it is foreseeable that digital X-ray machines will open a new medical diagnosis practice in precision medicine. Liang Zejun said that the WR-3D equipment has been put into clinical use in West China Hospital for more than a year. During this period, this device cooperated with the radiology department of West China Hospital to complete a number of clinical studies. Developed a long-low axis imaging sequence, which was simultaneously moved longitudinally and segmented by X-ray tube and detector. With the correction algorithm, the image can be stitched without misalignment. And with the efforts of the team, it has beenSuccessfully published a SCI**, two articles are in the vote sci**.

After the keynote speech, Professor Ma Xinwu, chairman-designate of the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, organized a discussion on the clinical value application of WR-3D, and invited the experts and professors of the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association to comment one by one. On the application of WR-3D technology in orthopedics, experts had a heated discussion and exchange, put forward many constructive suggestions and future development directions, and at the same time affirmed the revolutionary innovation brought by this technology.

With the development of modern medicine in China, the value of the interdisciplinary medical-engineering integration technology of the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association has become increasingly prominent, and it has become a benchmark for the development of modern medicine. Through the combination of clinical and scientific research, we can develop innovative technology products that can truly solve the real pain points of patients, coupled with continuous medical-engineering cooperation, starting from the actual clinical needs, vigorously promote complementary advantages and collaborative innovation, and provide new inspiration for scientific research, technology and diagnosis, so as to truly complete the mission of Healthy China, so as to open a new era of accurate diagnosis!

So far, the WR-3D upright cone beam CT technology seminar has come to a successful conclusion. The chairman of the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and many members actively participated in the innovative form of technical seminars, and truly achieved the "solid technology, standardized innovation, pursuit of excellence, and all-round development" advocated by the society, and quickly improved the scientific research literacy of young technicians through various forms of technical special sessions, skill competitions, and face-to-face "academic excellence" activities with experts. The society is also committed to promoting the scientific research and clinical application of medical imaging technology, constantly exploring and innovating, and has made important contributions to the progress of medical imaging technology. In the future, the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association will continue to pay attention to the innovation and development of digital radiography technologyLet's look forward to making the examination more efficient and the diagnosis more accurate!
