Spinal Surgery Associates PLC (Charlotesville, USA) - EOS testimonial

Spinal Surgery Associates PLC (Charlotesviles, USA) testimonial about the biospace med's EOS ultra-low dose 2D/3D musculoskeletal imager during NASS 2009.

biospace med was founded on a unique partnership between Nobel Prize-winning physicist Georges Charpak and a team of biomedical engineers, orthopedic surgeons and radiologists who have developed a complete orthopedic imaging solution. The Companys lead product, EOS ultra-low-dose 2D/3D X-ray imager, allows full-body imaging of patients in a weight-bearing position that enables global assessment of balance and posture.

EOS captures a whole or partial body image in a single scan without the need for any digital stitching - all at a reduced dose. In addition, the system allows simultaneous bi-plane image acquisition (frontal and lateral). Information submitted to FDA in support of biospace med's marketing application demonstrated up to 10 times reduction in dose when compared with commercially available film systems -- without compromising image quality. EOS can also generate a 3D skeletal modelling from the two simultaneously acquired planar images. This product also features automatic measurement software designed to calculate a variety of length and angle calculations between individual bones and joints, potentially helping to evaluate global balance and posture.
