The EOS system delivers low dose stereoradiographic images of patients in functional position.
The unique biplanar design and vertical scanning allows the acquisition of full body with precise 2D and 3D measurements, helping clinicians to better visualize mechanisms between the spine, hip, and knee, enhancing patient treatment across all stages of care.
The EOS system introduces a fifth modality to reduce patient radiation dose for a wide range of patients providing an exceptional image contrast.
How does it work?
A Patient-Centered Experience
Reduced Radiation Exposure
The EOS system can reduce a patient’s radiation dose by 95% when substituted for specific CT exams4. EOS exams reduce radiation dose by 50% compared to DR systems1 and 85% compared to CR systems2.
A follow up pediatric spine exam, using the Micro Dose feature, delivers only a week’s worth of natural radiation3.
Exceptional Image Accuracy
EOS exams deliver a highly accurate view of the musculoskeletal system through full body, weight-bearing 3D images. Our system calculates precise 2D and 3D measurements without magnification or stitching bias.
Improved Diagnostics & Planning
High-accuracy imaging data from EOS allows providers to plan treatment strategies around each patient’s unique 3D anatomy. Our low dose imaging system helps medical experts and their patients co-create the best path to wellness.
