An internationally unique capability, this system allows for the simultaneous collection of 2 x-ray images at high frequencies digitally via high speed cameras. The biplanar x-ray system is currently being developed for  three-dimensional digital reconstruction of the event of interest by performing radiostereometric analysis (RSA) with unprecedented sampling rates using RSA Biomedical’s UmRSA® software.
