CT Medacta

Queensland Radiology Specialists provides CT Medacta scans, a specialised imaging service designed to support orthopaedic surgical planning and joint replacement procedures. Using advanced low-dose CT technology, these scans provide highly detailed images of bones and joints to assist surgeons in pre-operative planning, implant alignment, and post-operative assessment.

Availability: CT Medacta scans are available at all of our clinic locations.

What Is a CT Medacta Scan?

A CT Medacta scan is a high-resolution CT scan that focuses on joints and bones relevant to orthopaedic procedures. These scans are often used in conjunction with Medacta surgical planning software, which helps surgeons:

  • Precisely plan joint replacement procedures (hip, knee, or shoulder)

  • Assess bone structure, alignment, and deformities

  • Optimise implant selection and positioning

  • Evaluate post-operative outcomes for joint replacement patients

CT Medacta scans provide a 3D view of the anatomy, giving orthopaedic surgeons the most accurate information for surgical planning.
