The pedCAT from CurveBeam, Warrington, Pa, has received CE Mark approval. The PedCAT, which gained FDA approval in April 2012, is an in-office, weight-bearing, cone-beam computed tomography scanner for the foot and ankle. The pedCAT system can image one or both feet in true weight bearing position and create full three-dimensional reconstructions of the bony anatomy in less than 3 minutes. CurveBeam plans to install the first pedCAT in Europe at Krankenhaus Rummelsberg, a hospital in Berlin, Germany.
