University Foot and Ankle Institute is committed to offering the best diagnostic tools in the most convenient environment. We're excited to be the only location in Southern California to offer the pedCAT foot and ankle cone-beam CT scanner.
ThePedCAT revolutionizes imaging as it’s the first true weight-bearing imaging machine. By scanning in your shoes we can see the exact stresses your foot endures daily for better diagnostic results.
It also delivers a very low radiation dose compared to traditional CT and results are available in less than 70 seconds so your physician gets an immediate and precise 3D view of the affected foot and ankle which allows treatment to begin as sooner than ever before.
