The EOS solution is a unique combination of innovative, low dose imaging systems and Advanced Orthopedic Solutions designed by EOS imaging. This solution supports radiologists and orthopedic surgeons across the full continuum of care, from initial diagnosis to post-operative evaluations and follow-up. These unique products and services empower physicians to manage their patients and deliver the best treatment outcomes possible. 

Unique Imaging Systems

EOS low-dose imaging system enable full body, weight-bearing, high-quality musculoskeletal imaging exams. This powerful tool drive patient safety, facility-wide efficiency, and exceptional clinical value. EOS imaging system is fully integrated with their Advanced Orthopedic Solutions. EOS imaging also offers an ambulatory chair to image non-ambulatory patients.

EOS System

The EOS system delivers low dose stereo-radiographic images of patients in functional positions. EOS technology minimizes patient radiation exposure while providing precise 2D and 3D measurements, free from stitching and magnification bias. Medical teams can leverage these full body, weight-bearing images to better visualize mechanisms between the spine, hip, and knee, enhancing patient treatment across the entire spectrum of care.

The EOS system introduces a fifth medical imaging modality to reduce patient radiation dose and support clinical value. This imaging solution provides comfortable, low dose exams for a wide variety of patients and functional positions. The low dose system provides exceptional image contrast with over 65,000 grey levels.

With the EOS system, healthcare teams can capture full body images (frontal and lateral) in less than 20 seconds, maximizing patient throughput with up to 100 complex exams per day.

The advanced imaging system drives efficiencies across the entire care pathway, from initial diagnosis to follow-up care, improving patient outcomes in the process.

• Patient’s radiation dose decreased by 50% compared to a DR system¹ and 85% compared to a CR system²
• Substitution of specific CT exams with an EOS exam to reduce the patient’s radiation dose by 95%⁴
• Micro Dose protocol for a full spine follow-up exam (frontal and lateral) at a dose that’s equivalent to only a week’s worth of natural radiation³
• Exceptional Image Accuracy: EOS exams deliver an accurate view of the musculoskeletal system through full-body, weight-bearing 3D images. The 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. The low-dose imaging system helps medical experts and their patients co-create the best path to wellness.
