TaoImage Medical × The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University

WinsSilver Award at the 51st Geneva

International Exhibition of Inventions

 

 

        Recently, the 51st Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, known as the "Oscar of the invention world", concluded successfully in Geneva, Switzerland. The project "Dual-Plane Bone and Joint 4D Dynamic Imaging System", jointly submitted by Professor Cai Zongyuan, founder of Shanghai TaoImage Medical Technology Co., Ltd., and Professor Hou Zhiyong, president of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, stood out from more than 1,400 innovative achievements from 40 countries and regions worldwide and won the Silver Award! This honor is not only a high recognition of China's innovation strength in orthopedic imaging technology, but also another milestone achievement in the integrated development of industry, academia and research in the medical-engineering cross field in China.

Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions

 

Founded in 1973 and co-organized by the Swiss Federal Government and the World Intellectual Property Organization, the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions is the world's longest-running, largest and most influential invention exhibition, and its awards are highly regarded by the industry for their value and international authority.

 

 

This edition was held from March 11 to 15, 2026, attracting more than 1,000 invention projects from 35 countries and regions worldwide. The orthopedic 4D dynamic imaging technology jointly submitted by TaoImage Medical and the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University won unanimous praise from international judges for its disruptive innovative concept and significant clinical value.

The degeneration and injury of bones and joints are a global public health problem. Data show that the number of osteoarthritis patients in China is as high as 180 million, and nearly one million people suffer anterior cruciate ligament tears every year. However, for a long time, traditional medical imaging systems could only provide static anatomical information and could not assess the functional state of joints during movement, resulting in a global dissatisfaction rate of up to 30% for joint replacement surgery. The "Dual-Plane Bone and Joint 4D Dynamic Imaging System" jointly developed by TaoImage Medical and the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University has completely broken through this technical bottleneck. It is the world's first orthopedic imaging device capable of "3D + full-length + weight-bearing + dynamic" imaging. If traditional X-ray is a static photo, then TaoImage Medical's dual-plane 4D system is a dynamic film.

Core Technology Breakthroughs

Five Major Advantages

Dual-View Full-Length Distortion-Free Imaging

Achieves simultaneous frontal and lateral full-length skeletal imaging with 1:1 distortion-free images, eliminating cone-beam distortion and stitching errors compared with traditional DR full-length stitching.

High-Speed DynamicContinuousPulse Exposure

Uses high-speed dynamic continuouspulseexposure technology at 30 frames per second, producing images without motion blur artifacts and reproducing the temporal and spatial movement changes of joints.

AI Intelligent Quantitative Analysis

Based on precise motion control and high-resolution images, it can precisely quantify in-vivo functional movement indicators such as joint contact points, joint space, ligament elongation, and spinal vertebral foramen area.

Low-Dose Rapid Examination

A full-body, full-length scan takes only 20 seconds, with a radiation dose lower than traditional DR examination. It also supports a pediatric mode, providing safe imaging for children or adolescents aged 7 and above.

 

 

Currently, TaoImage Medical's Dual-Plane 4D Dynamic Imaging System has been installed and used in more than 20 top-tier Class IIIA hospitals nationwide, covering multiple orthopedic subspecialties including the spine, joints, sports medicine and trauma, providing clinicians with an unprecedentedly precise diagnostic tool. With this system, doctors can intuitively observe the movement changes of joints during natural actions such as standing, walking and squatting, allowing them to judge conditions more accurately, develop individualized treatment plans, and objectively evaluate surgical outcomes. This not only significantly improves the level of orthopedic disease diagnosis and treatment and reduces surgical dissatisfaction rates, but also provides strong technical support for the development of rehabilitation medicine and sports medicine.

Winning the Silver Award at this Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions is another important achievement of the cooperation between TaoImage Medical and the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, and an important step for Chinese orthopedic imaging technology to go global. In the future, the two parties will continue to deepen cooperation, continuously optimize and improve the Dual-Plane 4D Dynamic Imaging Technology, expand its application in more clinical scenarios, contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to protecting the bone and joint health of patients worldwide, and keep moving toward the beautiful vision of "letting humans move without worry for 100 years"!
