Paediatric

Orthopaedic

Children in particular face potential adverse effects from excessive medical radiation, including an increased risk of radiation-induced cancer later in life.

Micro Dose is an EOS feature allowing very low dose imaging in paediatric patients and addresses concerns when frequent imaging in children is required.

Micro Dose provides doctors the ability to monitor disease progression in paediatrics, in particular in pathologies which require frequent monitoring such as scoliosis follow-up.

Micro Dose is a fantastic achievement in the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle for EOS patients.

 

EOS imagine systems are an excellent choice for many patients especially those requiring multiple

x-ray exams

EOS Features
