Building the Future of Orthopaedic Surgery Through Research
Biplane System
Intradepartmental funds have been allocated to build a unique imaging system that will be housed in the Harold K. Dunn Orthopaedic Research Laboratory at the University of Utah Orthopaedic Center (July 2008). The imaging system uses two c-arm fluoroscopes (biplane fluoroscopes) that can track motions of human joints in real time. Professor Andrew Anderson, PhD, the principal investigator of the project, will lead the development, validation, and implementation of the biplane system. read more . . .
