2D and 3D digital imaging - PiedRéseau Shawinigan
PiedRéseau Shawinigan offers advanced 2D and 3D digital imaging services to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of foot-related conditions. This innovative technology captures precise foot imprints using specialized devices, enabling the creation of custom-made plantar orthotics. The 2D imaging employs a podograph to produce detailed images of the foot’s plantar surface, while the 3D scanning utilizes a three-dimensional sensor to accurately replicate the entire morphology of the foot, providing a comprehensive understanding of each patient’s unique foot structure.
In the clinical context, the 2D and 3D digital imaging services at PiedRéseau Shawinigan play a crucial role in diagnosing various foot conditions and designing effective orthotics. The techniques allow for a detailed assessment of foot characteristics, including arch type and pressure distribution, which are essential for identifying postural imbalances. The efficiency of these scanning methods significantly reduces the time required for diagnosis compared to traditional methods, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment tailored to their needs.
The PiedRéseau Shawinigan team includes Dr. Geneviève Champagne, podiatrist-owner, who has been leading the clinic since 2010. She is complemented by Émilie Tardif, podiatrist, and Manon Malenfant, administrative assistant. Together, they ensure that patients receive comprehensive care and support throughout their treatment journey.
