FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – JUNE 26, 2018 – Prestige Medical Imaging (PMI) the largest independent provider of digital imaging technology and services for medical facilities, announces the installation of a CARESTREAM OnSight 3D Extremity System at The Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County in Atlantis, FL.

The Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County (OCPBC) has served the Palm Beach County for over 65 years. Lead by CEO John Hornberger, MBA at The Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County and contributing author of the OnSight 3D Extremity System White Paper. OCPBC is continuously up-to-date with cutting-edge advancements made in the field of orthopedic treatments and research.

“We are proud to be working with PMI’s team,” said John Hornberger, MBA and CEO for OCPBC.
“Our dedication is to our patients, PMI provides us with large OEM level resources, yet provides the quality and accessibility to service and support typical of small companies.”

The OnSight 3D Extremity System provides state-of-the art reconstruction with advanced scatter and metal correction features, providing improved images for post-surgical evaluation. Mindy Duncan, Radiology Manager at Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach was excited about overseeing the OnSight 3D Extremity System.

The OnSight 3D Extremity System also assists in detecting occult and non-union bone fractures. Unlike traditional CT systems, this cone beam CT system has a large-area detector that captures a 3D image of the extremity in a single rotation, which takes only 25 seconds. A patient simply places the injured extremity into a donut-shaped opening in the system. Since the patient’s head and body are not confined, patients do not experience the claustrophobia that often occurs with traditional CT systems. Dose is significantly reduced because only the affected body part is imaged.

“The CARESTREAM OnSight 3D Extremity System is a novel Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanner designed for easy, day-to-day extremity evaluation in the orthopedic practice. The compact extremity system can be installed in an exam room and plugs into a standard wall outlet.” says Bill Haussmann PMI’s CEO.
