With these two breakthroughs, EOS allows for whole body, frontal and lateral x-ray images to be acquired simultaneously of the patient in either standing or seated position, without compromising image quality.

EOS is a revolutionary imaging device that combines a Nobel Prize winning particle detector and an innovative linear scanning technique.

Low-dose imaging:

- The radiation dose emitted by the EOS exam is:

50% lower compared to a digital radiography (X-ray) scans1

85% lower compared to computed radiography (CR) scans2

95% lower compared to computed topography (CT) scans3

With the Micro Dose option, frontal and lateral full spine images are captured at a radiation dose equivalent to one week of natural radiation on Earth.4

In around 20 seconds,
two full body digital radiographs are taken, with the entire medical exam normally lasting less than 4 minutes5.

Full view of skeletal anatomy

EOS is able to perform imaging of the whole body in a very simple and reproducible way. Frontal and lateral digital images up to maximum 175x45cm are obtained simultaneously, with an outstanding image quality.

Low-dose imaging

Life-size, naturally weight-bearing 3D

The natural position of the body shows the complex interactions between all the parts of the skeleton.

A 3D rendering of specific skeletal anatomy can be made and provides very accurate clinical parameters to assist with therapy decision making and improved patient outcomes.
