HONG KONG – October 29, 2025 – The 15th International Congress on Osteogenesis Imperfecta (ICOI 2025) convened grandly in Hong Kong, China. Angell Technology, a leading enterprise in China’s high-end medical imaging equipment sector, made its appearance at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre with its globally pioneering weight-bearing cone-beam CT system and next-generation full-body skeletal 3D imaging platform, and was invited to deliver a keynote speech at the congress’s “Weight-Bearing Cone-Beam CT Application Seminar.”

This debut not only marked a significant presence for Angell Technology on the international orthopedic academic stage but also, with its breakthrough technological concepts and clinical value, sparked high attention and widespread recognition from orthopedic experts worldwide. The congress, organized by the International Society for Children’s Bone Health (ISCBH), focused on cutting-edge research and clinical practice in the field of pediatric bone health.

The International Congress on Osteogenesis Imperfecta serves as an international platform for sharing and discussing the latest achievements in basic research and clinical treatment of OI in children, adolescents, and adults. Initiated by a broad network of global clinicians and researchers, this triennial conference came to Hong Kong, China, this year, aiming to promote the advancement of diagnostic and therapeutic concepts and technologies for pediatric bone health in Asia.

For a long time, orthopedic imaging diagnosis has primarily relied on non-weight-bearing modalities such as conventional CT and MRI. However, the physiological and pathological manifestations of the human skeletal system under load often differ significantly from those in a supine position. Particularly for diseases like Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), which involve abnormalities in bone structure and joint alignment, traditional imaging struggles to accurately reflect the condition of bones and joints under the daily life burden of weight-bearing.

The weight-bearing cone-beam CT system launched by Angell Technology precisely targets this clinical gap, achieving a leap from “static imaging” to “dynamic functional imaging.” This system is the world’s first imaging equipment capable of performing three-dimensional CT tomographic scans of the full spinal length and full lower limb length under weight-bearing conditions. It enables physicians, for the first time, to acquire complete 3D skeletal data from the cervical spine to the ankle while the patient is truly standing and bearing weight, thereby allowing precise assessment of a range of core orthopedic issues such as scoliosis, joint degeneration, lower limb alignment, and rotational deformities.

At the ICOI 2025 seminar, Angell Technology’s presentation delved into the system’s three core technological advantages, garnering extensive attention from global orthopedic experts at the congress:

（1）Perfect Balance of Ultra-Low Dose and High-Definition Imaging:

Leveraging advanced cone-beam CT reconstruction algorithms and high-performance flat-panel detectors, the system achieves 3D imaging in a standing position while maintaining radiation doses significantly lower than those of traditional multi-slice spiral CT. This is particularly crucial for pediatric and young OI patients requiring repeated follow-ups, greatly enhancing examination safety.

（2）AI-Powered Automated Full-Body Skeletal Measurement and Reporting System:

Deeply integrated with artificial intelligence, the system can automatically and accurately measure nearly 200 key bone and joint parameters from the spine to the lower limbs with a single click, covering various dimensions such as angles, lengths, distances, rotations, and offsets. Complex measurement tasks that traditionally required hours of manual work by physicians can now be completed automatically by AI within minutes, generating structured diagnostic reports and significantly boosting clinical research and diagnostic efficiency.

（3）Comprehensive Solution Covering Core Scenarios in Spine and Joint Surgery:

Whether for scoliosis classification and orthopedic surgical planning in spine surgery, or osteotomy guidance, prosthesis selection, and implant positioning in joint surgery, this system provides crucial three-dimensional weight-bearing data support. It offers previously unattainable imaging evidence for evaluating lower limb deformity correction, spinal stability assessment, and post-operative efficacy in OI patients.

On-site at the congress, several leading orthopedic experts from Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region expressed high praise after experiencing and listening to Angell Technology’s technical introduction.

A pediatric orthopedic professor from the United States stated: “In the diagnosis and treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, understanding the skeletal response under load is paramount. Angell Technology’s technology opens a new door for us. The 3D weight-bearing data it provides is of landmark significance for formulating more precise orthopedic surgical plans.”

A director of spine surgery from Germany commented: “Integrating AI measurements with weight-bearing 3D CT is not merely a technological addition; it’s a revolution in the clinical workflow. It standardizes and automates complex spinal alignment analysis, which will profoundly impact the accuracy and reproducibility of surgical decision-making.”

The successful showcase by Angell Technology at this ICOI congress signifies that China possesses globally leading innovation capabilities in the field of high-end specialized medical equipment. Its next-generation full-body skeletal weight-bearing 3D imaging system represents not only a technological breakthrough but also embodies a product development philosophy driven by clinical needs and centered on patients.

As global orthopedic diagnosis and treatment move towards greater precision, personalization, and minimally invasive techniques, the demand for functional positional imaging data will become increasingly urgent. With its forward-looking technological layout, Angell Technology is actively propelling global orthopedic imaging diagnosis from traditional morphological assessment into a new era – the “Weight-Bearing Imaging Era” – that integrates biomechanics and functional evaluation.

The stunning debut in Hong Kong is just the beginning. Moving forward, Angell Technology will continue to delve deeply into the field of musculoskeletal imaging, joining hands with global orthopedic peers to contribute Chinese strength to enhancing human skeletal health worldwide.
