NYC Orthopedic Surgeon & Sports Medicine Specialist, Dr. Steven Struhl, Offers Revolutionary IntraVu Imaging as MRI Alternative, Providing 99% Accurate Results in Minutes
IntraVu needle scope arthroscopy is one of the many advanced tools Dr. Struhl offers to help diagnose and treat orthopedic and joint conditions. The advantages for the patient of IntraVu imaging over an MRI is that it is faster and offers a live view of the area under evaluation. Although an MRI provides detailed images of the soft tissue, the images require the expertise of radiologists to interpret. The IntraVu Scope provides crystal clear images and video which enable any patient to easily become empowered to be a part of their therapy through easy to understand visuals.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Steven Struhl is a top orthopedic surgeon who has invested in the most advanced imaging technology for his Shoulders & Knees orthopedic clinics in NYC and White Plains, NY. The cutting-edge IntraVu needle scope, is a powerful imaging tool, providing a quick, patient-centric alternative to MRI or ultrasound for the direct visualization of intra-articular structures and interior spaces. This innovative imaging device is tiny and uses a needle scope to access the area. Like an arthroscope that is used during arthroscopic surgeries, it can send live digital images in real-time to a digital monitor, but without an incision. Instead of an arthroscope, a special needle is inserted into the area with a tiny camera that sends back digital images to the monitor. The needle scope can be inserted while the patient is awake and aware, creating live images they can see on a digital monitor in minutes. With the IntraVu device, immediate images can be retrieved in an office setting for diagnosing orthopedic conditions and performing certain types of procedures. Dr. Struhl often uses the IntraVu during regenerative and traditional guided injection treatments versus ultrasound or other imaging, which provides patients with multiple benefits. While IntraVu offers many advantages to MRIs, there are some instances when an MRI or other type of imaging is still required.
"This enhanced imaging technology provides the information needed to perform fast and accurate diagnosis with precision. Patients can see the images and better understand their diagnosis and treatment options," says Dr. Steven Struhl
