Best Practices
- When capturing the image, place the phone as close as is practical to maximize the size of the image.
- When calibrating it is best to zoom the image to its maximum allowable to allow more precise capture of the calibration circle over the edges of the implant.
- The App rounds up to provide the suggested rod. It is advisable to pay close attention to the measured rod length versus the suggested rod.
- If the screws are not at the same level using Lateral view is recommended rather than an AP view.
- If an image contains implant heads bilaterally it may be difficult to discern which side the implants are on in a lateral x-ray. To help differentiate between left and right have the surgeon push the Phoenix towers on one side towards the head of the patient and on the other side towards the feet of the patient before taking the lateral x-ray. This way it is easier to discern which implants are on each side.
- To preserve the phone memory storage it is recommended to archive the saved reports from time to time and remove them from the phone’s files system.
Appendix
Images for Appendix A (Reference Construct for Calibration):
Calibration on a Lateral View:
– Take a picture of the Fluoro with clear visibility of the tower system
Resource Tab & Settings and eliminating any unwanted part.
– Find the tower with the sharp edges for calibration.
– Zoom the image to the maximum allowable limit.
– Use the slider to enlarge the calibration marker.
– Adjust the image zoom and the slider so the calibration marker aligns over
the outer base of the implant.
Calibration with AP View:
– Take a picture of the Fluor with clear visibility of the tower system and
eliminating any unwanted part.
– Find the tower with the sharp edges for calibration.
– Zoom the image to the maximum allowable limit.
– Use the slider to enlarge the calibration marker.
– Adjust the image zoom and the slider so the calibration marker aligns over
the edges for the implant.
