Planmed has received clearance from the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) for its Planmed Verity Extremity Scanner. Planmed Verity® is designed to find subtle extremity fractures at the first visit to the clinic – fractures that have been the most commonly missed using only 2D radiographs. Planmed Verity Extremity Scanner is a unique solution to the problem with fast 3D imaging at the point of care. It is intended for pre- and postoperative imaging with better resolution, patient adaptability, and significantly lower dose than full-body CTs. Unlike any other 3D imaging device, Planmed Verity also allows weight-bearing imaging of the extremities. As a dedicated extremity scanner, Planmed Verity adapts to the patient with anatomy-specific imaging programs, movements, and trays. Easily adjustable, soft surfaced gantry and motorized positioning trays help in finding a comfortable position for various examination procedures. The adjustable user interfaces and efficient all-in-one workflow are also designed to maximize the operator’s soothing presence for the patient. “Planmed Verity is the first and only CT system in the world that can image seated, supine and standing patients. We are excited that this innovative, low dose orthopedic imaging system is now available also in Korea. We are confident that it will be well received,” says Vesa Mattila, Vice President of Planmed Oy. “South Korea is one of the most innovative and medically advanced countries in Asia. Our distribution partner, Dong Kang Medical Systems Co., Ltd. has an excellent reputation at the best medical institutions in South Korea.”
