EOS (3D Skeletal Imaging)

Low radiation dose, high image quality

Its key advantage is that it performs these examinations with 90% less radiation than conventional devices. In studies, image quality was better than or equal to conventional examinations in 97.2% of cases.

The work of Georges Charpak, winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physics, made it possible to eliminate scattered radiation and to amplify the signal with detectors. As a result, examinations can be performed with a low radiation dose.

EOS (Scoliosis)

Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that can occur in the upper and lower back. Instead of lining up in a straight line, the vertebrae shift to the right or left and also rotate around their own axis. It most often appears during adolescence.

Scoliosis is diagnosed with a physical examination and a standing X-ray of the whole spine. It is followed up by measuring the angle on the images, and treatment is guided by this angle.

Follow-up in children requires a high cumulative radiation dose. With EOS, this dose is reduced to one tenth. Similar follow-up is also needed in kyphosis.

EOS (Angular Deformities of the Lower Limbs)

It is used for planning and measurement before lower-limb surgery. It shows possible deformities of the legs better than conventional X-ray. With 3D modelling, it helps to plan knee and hip arthroplasty operations.
