EOS (3D Skeletal System Imaging)

It is used to detect spinal deformities, such as scoliosis and kyphosis as well as abnormal angulations in lower limbs. The scan lasts approximately 20 seconds. The patient enters the scanner and asked to hold position and level. Whole body or the spine may be scanned, depending on the situation.

The device emits much lower dose of radiation when compared to conventional digital X-ray devices. Pediatric patients are exposed to one tenth of the radiation emitted by conventional EOS dose thanks to micro dose feature. It is used for planning and measurement before operations of lower limbs, since it can scan the entire length of the bone. Three dimensional preoperative modeling helps surgical procedures of patients with hip and knee problems or scoliosis.
