Intended Use
The intended use of the DR Full Leg Full Spine application is to provide a
workflow to acquire images for measurements in the orthopedic field
(skeleton).
Applications are performed with the patient in standing position using the DX
Full Leg Full Spine Stand or in lying position using the FLFS Horizontal
Overlay. The patient should not move during the examination to allow
accurate alignment of the X-ray images.
The DX Full Leg Full Spine Stand and the FLFS Horizontal Overlay are tools to
align multiple X-ray images during stitching by the image processing software.
The DX Full Leg Full Spine Stand will help the patient to stay in a fixed
position during the FLFS examination and separate the patient from the
moving DR detector.
