Polyclinic Scipion has further enhanced its diagnostic capabilities by introducing the Spine 3D™ system, an innovative device for non-invasive three-dimensional spinal scanning. This advanced tool allows specialists to conduct frequent postural assessments without exposing patients to harmful radiation, thanks to LiDAR technology (Light Detection and Ranging).
Spine 3D™ provides exceptional diagnostic capabilities for the precise monitoring and treatment of scoliosis and other spinal deformities. Its ability to generate three-dimensional imaging enables a detailed analysis of structural changes in the spine, which is crucial for early detection and adjustment of therapeutic approaches. Additionally, the system is extremely useful for analyzing postural problems that can cause chronic pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and lower limbs.
With the Spine 3D™ system, it is possible to accurately analyze biomechanical changes that affect body posture, such as postural asymmetries, pelvic misalignments, vertebral rotations, and musculoskeletal imbalances. This technology allows for the efficient evaluation of patients with pain-related postural disorders, such as overuse syndrome, myofascial pain, and neuromuscular issues.
Technical Specifications of the Spine 3D™ System:
-Full-body scanning: A non-invasive 3D scanning method without markers or radiation, capturing the shoulders, back, pelvis, and lower limbs.
-Reference point editing: Automatically detected reference points can be manually adjusted after acquisition, with the option to apply various textures, such as depth maps and concavity images.
-X-ray overlaying: The system allows for the upload of X-ray images to compare them with automatically detected points, providing a comprehensive patient analysis.
-Coronal plane visualization: Enables the assessment of postural parameters in the coronal plane to evaluate imbalances between the right and left sides of the body.
-RMS surface rotation in the coronal plane: Allows for the evaluation of spinal rotations relative to the back surface.
-Bending angles in the coronal plane: Provides an assessment of deviations and possible spinal deformities in the coronal plane.
-Sagittal plane visualization: Allows for the analysis of key postural parameters, including kyphotic and lordotic angles, as well as cervical and lumbar inclinations.
-Knee angles in the sagittal plane: Thanks to full-body scanning, it is also possible to evaluate knee angles in the sagittal plane.
-Transversal plane visualization: Enables a detailed assessment of the back, detecting deformities or rotations caused by postural compensations.
Additionally, the Spine 3D™ Mat+ version includes an integrated baropodometric platform for comprehensive biomechanical analysis, evaluating weight distribution and foot support. This feature provides additional insights into potential causes of postural issues, allowing for more precise diagnoses and tailored therapeutic strategies.
By introducing the Spine 3D™ system, Poliklinika Scipion has further strengthened its commitment to providing top-quality healthcare. This device enables accurate and safe diagnostics as well as individualized treatment plans based on detailed postural analysis, spinal deformities, and biomechanical changes that can affect quality of life.
