Indications for Use
The HiRise is intended to be used for 3-D imaging of the upper extremities and pelvis of adult and pediatric patients weighing from 40 to 450 lbs. The device is to be operated in a professional healthcare environment by qualified health care professionals only.
Device Story
HiRise is a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) system for 3D imaging of upper extremities and pelvis. Device uses a gantry assembly with X-ray source, flat panel detector, and motorized vertical actuators to capture 360-degree rotational projection sequences. Reconstructed 3D volumetric images are sent to DICOM-compliant viewing software. Operated by qualified healthcare professionals in hospitals and orthopedic clinics. Patient positioning involves a non-weight bearing chair or standing platform. Output images assist clinicians in visualizing osseous structures for diagnostic purposes. Benefits include high-resolution 3D visualization of anatomy for orthopedic assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical trials. Performance verified by scanning image quality phantoms evaluated by a medical physicist. Diagnostic quality of images for all claimed anatomical regions (humerus, elbow, forearm, hand, wrist, pelvis/hips, femur, knee, shin, foot/ankle) confirmed by board-certified radiologist review.
Technological Characteristics
Cone Beam CT; 360-degree rotation. Materials: Polyester platform lining, vinyl cushion, carbon fiber positioners, powder-coated aluminum. X-ray source: 130kV max, 0.5mm focal spot. Detector: Amorphous silicon flat panel. Connectivity: DICOM-compliant. Standards: AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1 series, IEC 62304, IEC 62366. Reconstruction: Filtered back projection with non-linear filtering.
Indications for Use

## Indications for Use:
The HiRise is intended to be used for 3-D imaging of the upper extremities and pelvis of adult and pediatric patients weighing from 40 to 450 lbs.
The device is to be operated in a professional healthcare environment by qualified health care professionals only.
## Device Description:
#### Device Characteristics and Performance
The HiRise is a Cone Beam Computed Tomography Imaging Device that acquires 360-degree rotational projection sequences which are reconstructed into 3D volumetric images of the examined anatomical region. The device uses a gantry assembly, which is comprised of an X- ray source, image detector, and a motorized gantry. The gantry facilitates the acquisition of a full X-ray projection sequence by the acquisition software. For non-weight bearing scans of the lower extremity, a patient positioner accessory allows the patient to sit into a position where he/she can comfortably place his/her anatomy into the imaging bore.
The gantry assembly is mounted on vertical actuators and can travel vertically to capture weight-bearing anatomy at various heights ranging from the feet to the pelvis regions. The HiRise provides total vertical travel of 37 inches to accommodate patients of various sizes. Images produced by the HiRise can be sent electronically to a DICOM complaint image viewing software.
