CT Imaging of Protective Gear in Hockey

Why CT Is Used

Hockey equipment must withstand high speed impacts. CT imaging allows engineers to analyze helmet structure, padding density, and material integrity. This helps identify weak points and improve safety standards.

Improving Gear Design

3D CT models help manufacturers optimize protective gear for better energy absorption.

Impact on Athlete Safety

Better gear reduces concussion and fracture risk, improving long term health.

Engineering Applications

CT supports innovation in sports equipment design across multiple high impact sports.
