Background And Objectives: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), caused by a duplication of , is the most common hereditary peripheral neuropathy. For participants with CMT1A, few clinical trials have been performed; however, multiple therapies have reached an advanced stage of preclinical development. In preparation for imminent clinical trials in participants with CMT1A, we have produced a Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA), known as the CMT-Functional Outcome Measure (CMT-FOM), in accordance with the FDA Roadmap to Patient-Focused Outcome Measurement to capture the key clinical end point of function.

Objectives: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging is becoming an indispensable intraoperative tool; however, the current field of view prevents visualization of long anatomical sites, limiting clinical utility. Here, we demonstrate the longitudinal extension of the intraoperative CBCT field of view using a multi-turn reverse helical scan and assess potential clinical utility in interventional procedures.

Materials And Methods: A fixed-room robotic CBCT imaging system, with additional real-time control, was used to implement a multi-turn reverse helical scan.
