With Sectra Implant Movement Analysis, Sectra IMA, surgeons can more accurately determine whether an implant is loose with the help of two CT scans. This helps surgeons to detect loose implants and pseudarthrosis at an earlier stage and potentially avoid unnecessary surgery. If it is determined that surgery is needed, IMA provides data that enables a better estimate of the surgery time. Ultimately, this results in less suffering for patients and increased efficiency in healthcare.
Earlier detection of loosening
Avoid unnecessary operation
Better prepared for surgery
IMA is a big step forward in terms of being able to evaluate whether a hip implant is loose before going into the operating room. The method will also be easily accessible since the examination can be performed at the local hospital, while the actual analysis is carried out centrally.
Step 1: Two CT images are acquired using the Image Acquisition Protocol.
Step 2: A trained radiologists analyze the images using the Sectra IMA software.
Step 3: The analysis will illustrate and quantify if there is any movement.
CT IMA is a promising new technique for diagnostic of loose implants and potentially also for joint instability.
