Biplanar video-radiography (BVR)

Our state-of-the-art tracking biplanar video-radiography (BVR) system is revolutionising the study of human biomechanics by providing high-precision, real-time imaging of joint movement during everyday activities such as level walking, incline walking, and stair climbing. Developed in-house [external page 1,external page 2], this custom system combines dynamic dual-plane x-ray imaging with motion tracking to deliver unparalleled insights into skeletal motion, joint functionality, and implant performance, with special focus on the knee.

Building on the valuable foundations of our previous single-plane system [external page 3,external page 4], the dual-plane extends those previous capabilities with rapidly accelerating motors that maintain the knee within the field of view throughout full movement cycles, all while preserving participants’ ability to move naturally. This breakthrough system can generate gold-standard data on both healthy and artificial joints, supporting clinical decision-making and the advancement of implant development.
