Planmed Verity is designed to find subtle extremity fractures during the first visit to the clinic — the types of fractures that have most commonly been missed when only using 2-D radiographs. Planmed Verity Extremity Scanner is a unique solution to the problem; it provides fast 3-D imaging at the point of care. It is intended for pre- and postoperative imaging, and it has better resolution and patient adaptability and uses a significantly lower dose of radiation than full-body computed tomography (CT). Unlike any other 3-D imaging device, Planmed Verity also allows for weight-bearing imaging of the extremities.
