Digitale Volumen Tomographie (DVT) – 3D-Weightbearing-CT

State-of-the-art diagnostics under load

As one of the leading practices for foot and ankle surgery in Cologne, we now offer one of the most advanced imaging technologies in the world: the weightbearing CT (DVT under load). Only very few centers in Germany have a device capable of performing a complete examination of the entire foot, in some cases even both feet, knees, or hips at the same time. This allows us to precisely assess the leg axis up to the hips and use the opposite side as a reference for future corrections.

Unlike conventional CT or X-ray scans, the images are taken under real load – that is, while standing. This enables us to accurately evaluate the true position and function of your foot and ankle during everyday activity.

The result: three-dimensional, high-resolution images that reveal even the smallest changes in bones, joints, and soft tissues. This technology revolutionizes diagnostics and therapy, both conservative and surgical, and allows for more individualized and precise treatment decisions.
