2D Plantar Scanner | PT-2D Plantar Scanner
The PT-2D Plantar Pressure Scanner captures a two-dimensional image of the foot using advanced optical technology. The device provides a visual representation of the plantar surface along with a simulated display of foot pressure. This 2D Plantar scanner enables quick and efficient primary assessment and analysis of the foot.
What is the application of the 2D Plantar Scanner (Optical)?
The PT-2D Plantar Scanner is a valuable tool for rapid morphological analysis in clinical studies or orthopedics. While it does not provide automated diagnoses, it helps specialists identify relevant foot conditions by examining detailed foot images. Additionally, shoe retailers can use the 2D scanner to accurately determine foot size and recommend the appropriate insole if needed.

How is 2D Plantar Scanning Performed?
Foot scanning with the PT-2D Plantar Scanner is conducted in a static mode, capturing images of both feet simultaneously. Although the device does not use pressure sensors, it provides a realistic representation of the foot, and the foot pressure distribution map is generated through advanced image processing. This makes the 2D-plantar scanner a valuable tool for specialists, particularly in the design of orthotics and medical insoles.
Additionally, the 2D-plantar scanner allows specialists to quickly and accurately measure foot length, width, type, size, and pressure areas.
The output from the 2D foot scanner can be transferred to the PT-Insole Design software, enabling the design and production of medical insoles using CAD/CAM technology.
The software for this device allows for the comparison of reports before and after corrections and medical interventions. This comparison helps assess the impact of interventions on the patient’s foot condition and facilitates patient progress tracking.
It is important to note that 2D-plantar scanners are generally categorized as economical options. As a result, they are often used for initial examinations or as a complementary tool alongside 3D plantar scanners and foot pressure scanners for more precise evaluations and effective treatment planning.

What is the Difference Between 2D Plantar Scanners, Foot Pressure Scanners, and 3D Plantar Scanners?
Here’s a summary of the differences:
2D Foot Scanner (Optical): 2D Foot Scanner (Optical): This scanner captures a digital image of the foot’s shape and surface using optical technology. It is based on a 2D scanner typically used for scanning text and documents. The optical scanner is placed inside a frame with a glass surface, capturing a true-to-life image of the plantar.
Although it does not measure pressure or arch height (since it lacks sensors for these measurements), it provides a visual representation of the foot for analysis. It is commonly used for quick assessments and basic foot morphology analysis.
Foot Pressure Scanner: This scanner measures the pressure distribution across the foot using pressure sensors. It offers detailed insights into pressure points, which is especially useful for diagnosing foot conditions and designing insoles or orthotics.
3D Plantar Scanner: Unlike 2D and pressure scanners, a 3D plantar scanner creates a three-dimensional model of the foot, providing a more detailed and accurate representation. It captures foot shape, size, and dimensions in 3D, making it ideal for designing custom insoles and orthotics, as well as diagnosing complex foot conditions.
Each scanner serves unique applications, depending on the specific needs of foot analysis or treatment planning.
