2D and 3D digital imaging - PiedRéseau Hull
PiedRéseau Hull offers advanced 2D and 3D digital imaging services, essential for accurate foot diagnosis and custom orthotic design. This technology captures precise foot imprints, allowing podiatrists to analyze the foot’s structure and identify any discomfort quickly. The 2D imaging utilizes a podograph to create detailed pressure maps of the foot’s plantar surface, while the 3D scanning employs sophisticated sensors to replicate the entire foot morphology, enhancing diagnostic capabilities.
The foot digitization process at our clinic includes various techniques to ensure comprehensive analysis. The load technique captures impressions while the patient stands, while the semi-load and no-load techniques provide additional insights into foot behavior under different conditions. This multi-faceted approach allows for a thorough understanding of the foot’s characteristics, facilitating the creation of highly customized plantar orthotics tailored to individual needs.
Utilizing both 2D and 3D technologies significantly improves the efficiency of diagnosing plantar disorders. These methods not only reduce the time required for analysis but also enhance the accuracy of orthotic production. Patients benefit from a more comfortable and quicker experience compared to traditional plaster casting, ensuring a seamless transition to effective treatment.
The dedicated team at PiedRéseau Hull includes Dr. Antoun Hajj, podiatrist-owner; Dr. Maria Hajj, podiatrist; and Dr. Marie-Christine Torchon, podiatric surgeon, among others. Each member brings specialized knowledge and experience to provide comprehensive foot care, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment.
