EOS LOW-DOSE IMAGING
WHAT IS EOS?
The EOS Imaging System is a revolutionary advance in x-ray imaging. Using Nobel Prize-winning technology, the ultra-low-dose system scans our patients in an upright, weight-bearing position in seconds. This allows the doctor to see the natural way that their joints interact with their musculoskeletal system, making it ideal for diagnosing spinal conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and lower back pain.
PRECISE 3D MODELS
The EOS system enables 3D models to be generated. 3D models can help patients and their families visualize their condition in a way not possible before. Monitoring the progression of the patient’s condition in 3D can help to make decisions on treatment, such as bracing or surgery. If surgery is necessary, 3D planning tools allow the physician to simulate the procedure and communicate the goals of surgery prior to the operation.
EOS achieves its high-quality, precision images using the lowest dose of radiation – 50% to 85% less than traditional x-rays. And with the EOS Micro Dose, a 98% reduction in radiation can be achieved.* Each scan takes less than 20 seconds for adults and 15 seconds for children. EOS technology also provides more precise measurement and 3D imaging, which give us the information to determine the best paths of treatment for all our patients.
