Advanced, radiation-free spinal assessment for scoliosis screening and monitoring
The ScoliMatrix 3D Detection System (FT08W) from Forethought Medical is a portable, next-generation scoliosis detection and spinal assessment solution designed to bring high-precision, 3D diagnostic capability into clinics, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and physical examination settings — without the need for ionizing radiation.
Built around an integrated 3D spatial tracking and sensing platform, ScoliMatrix captures full-spine spatial data, enabling clinicians to visualize and measure spinal deformities in three anatomical planes (coronal, sagittal and transverse), and generate highly informative assessment reports within seconds.
Key Features & Capabilities
🌟 Radiation-Free Scoliosis Assessment
Conduct comprehensive spinal screenings and Cobb angle measurements while the patient stands in a natural posture — eliminating the need for X-rays during routine follow-up and early screening.
📐 3-Plane Spinal Analysis
Advanced 3D imaging constructs a full spinal profile and model to quantify curvature severity, rotational deformity and alignment across multiple segments of the spine.
📊 Intelligent Automated Measurements
ScoliMatrix calculates both Cobb angle and rotational metrics such as the Angle of Trunk Rotation (ATR), supporting clinicians with actionable quantitative data to inform clinical decisions.
⚡ Rapid, Real-Time Results
Simple scanning workflow delivers scoliosis screening results in approximately 10 seconds, with intuitive visual outputs that can be reviewed instantly.
📍 Portable & Bluetooth-Enabled
Compact and mobile, the FT08W unit supports wireless connectivity and Bluetooth data transfer, making it ideal for multi-room use, outreach screenings, and space-constrained clinical environments.
👕 User-Friendly Workflow
Easy operation requires minimal patient preparation — scanning can be accomplished with clothing on (light tops), without gel or skin markers — lowering barriers for rapid, routine use.
Clinical & Practice Applications
-
Early scoliosis screening in pediatrics and adolescents
-
Follow-up and monitoring of curve progression
-
Rehabilitation evaluation and objective tracking of postural change
-
Orthopedic assessment in outpatient clinics
-
School- and community-based spinal health screenings
-
Rehabilitative and therapeutic planning integration
ScoliMatrix bridges traditional visual posture checks with precise, digital 3D analysis, enabling clinicians and rehabilitation teams to document change over time, communicate findings clearly, and make more informed decisions about bracing, therapy progression, or referral.
Why It Matters
The prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis among children and adolescents means that effective screening and monitoring is a clinical priority. ScoliMatrix delivers:
✔ Enhanced measurement accuracy similar to radiographic standards
✔ Improved patient safety with radiation-free assessment
✔ Reduced clinical workflow burden via fast scanning
✔ Objective data support for therapy decisions
These capabilities make the ScoliMatrix system a powerful tool for orthopedic departments, rehabilitation centers, physical examination facilities, and multidisciplinary spinal care teams across IMEA markets.
