Biospace med announced today that data from a clinical study of its FDA-cleared 'EOS' 3D x-ray orthopedic imaging system conducted by a Montreal-based hospital-"EOS: A New Breed of X-Ray Imager Using Low-Dose Slot-Scanning to Achieve High-Quality Images"-showed that the EOS ultra-low-dose orthopedic imaging system makes possible "better image quality" than CR (Computed Radiography) imaging while using nearly 10 times less radiation."
EOS is designed to capture head-to-toe images of patients in a standing, weight-bearing position while reducing up to 90% of the radiation dose compared to a conventional x-ray and up to 1000 times less radiation than a conventional CT scan. Additionally, EOS 3D reconstructions provide remarkable detail, enabling physicians to better diagnose and plan an effective course of treatment.
