2D and 3D digital imaging - PiedRéseau Beauport
The PiedRéseau Beauport clinic offers advanced 2D and 3D digital imaging services, specializing in foot digitization. This innovative technique captures the imprint of the feet using various devices, allowing for accurate diagnosis and the design of custom-made plantar orthotics. The 2D impressions are obtained through a podograph, which provides a detailed image of the foot’s plantar surface. In contrast, the 3D scanning method employs a three-dimensional sensor to create a precise representation of the entire foot morphology.
Utilizing these scanning methods, our podiatrists can quickly conceptualize the foot structure and identify the source of discomfort. The 2D technology delivers a detailed mapping of pressure points, while the 3D technology enhances the diagnostic process by providing a comprehensive model of the foot. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for diagnosing various plantar disorders and designing highly accurate orthotics for conditions such as flat feet and plantar fasciitis.
The digital imaging process at our clinic is non-invasive and involves several techniques to ensure comprehensive analysis. This includes load, semi-load, and no-load impression techniques, allowing for a thorough understanding of foot behavior under different conditions. The resulting data is analyzed meticulously by our podiatrists, ensuring tailored treatment plans that address individual patient needs.
Our team comprises dedicated professionals, including Dr. Judith Roelly and Dr. Marie-Michelle Fecteau, both co-owners and experienced podiatrists. They are supported by a skilled staff, including Dr. Lysianne Gaudreault, Dr. Léa Vaillancourt, and Dr. Stéphanie Poulin, who bring their expertise to provide comprehensive foot care. Jessica Lachance, our Medical Imaging Technologist, plays a crucial role in managing our digital imaging services, ensuring high-quality results for our patients.
