In this testimonial, Dr. Canaan Prater, DO, of OrthoCarolina discusses how weight bearing CT helps hip, knee, foot, and ankle surgeons evaluate alignment from the same 3D imaging dataset, creating a more unified view of lower extremity mechanics under physiologic load.
“One image. We’re both looking at the same pictures.”
From sequencing procedures to assessing overall limb alignment, Dr. Prater shares how shared 3D visualization can support more coordinated orthopedic decision-making.
