Clinical Cases
Had an implanted screw invaded the hip joint space?
VolumeRAD study ordered. VolumeRAD allowed removal of overlying structures, helping to enable a confident diagnosis.The definitive answer: no.
A single-slice interval from the VolumeRAD data revealed that the implanted screw had not invaded the joint space. The patient underwent secondary surgery and proper implant placement was confirmed.
- No clinical evidence has been established supporting the following claims in patients with active lung or pleural disease that could obscure pulmonary nodules, including fibrosis, emphysema, compressed lung, scarring, severe lung disease, and in patients with objects in or around the lungs that could obscure pulmonary nodules. The effectiveness of the device may vary depending on nodule prevalence and type.
- Defined as a recommendations for further advanced imaging, based upon the Fleischner Society guidelines for pulmonary nodule management. MacMahon, Heber, et al.
