Fields of Application

Analyse eines Röntgenbildes am PC

The principle behind the FXA software allows for the determination and quantification of relative motion between two or more stages on any kind of images.

This process is completely independent of the source of the image. Images can be processed that arise from photos, videos, animations or synthetic images (like from CAD or FEA simulation software), x-ray images, CT or MRI scans.

The currently dominating application concerns the analysis of the kinematics of the human spine, whereas the analysis is focused on studying the success of surgical treatments.
Further fields of application address joints of the human body which are subject to orthopedic treatments (e.g. knee or jaw).

Examples of measurements for the spine

  • Range of motion (RoM) of one or several segments
  • Location and change of the center of rotation (CoR)
  • Evaluation of translational instabilities
  • Evaluation of implant migration, subsidence or loosening
  • Evaluation of implant function in-vitro or in-vivo
  • Assessment of relative motion between implant components or the bone-implant interface
  • Assess the occurrence of a desired fusion by means of analyzing the segmental RoM
  • Static measurements, e.g. intervertebral disc height, lystheses, cross sectional areas of the foramina or spinal channel
  • Lordosis angle
  • Sagittal profile
