The Origin Story: Dr. Lew Schon Interviews Dr. Cesar de Cesar Netto About His Journey in WBCT Research
Dr. Lew Schon, MD, makes his debut as guest host on CurveBeam AI Cast in an interview with his former fellow, Dr. Cesar de Cesar Netto, MD, PhD. The two reminisce about how Dr. De Netto was first introduced to WBCT imaging at Medstar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, and how he is now a global leader in WBCT research and applications.
The two discuss:
- Dr. de Netto’s research into progressive collapsing foot disorder (PCFD) and how WBCT could guide treatment, for example fusion vs. joint preserving procedures.
- Whether Dr. de Netto thinks all foot & ankle studies will eventually need to be redone using WBCT (spoiler: yes).
- How Dr. de Netto’s patients are specifically seeking him out to assess their foot & ankle pain with WBCT imaging.
