The EOS system delivers low dose stereo radiographic images of patients in functional position.   The unique biplanar design and vertical scanning allows the acquisition of full body with precise 2D and 3D measurements, helping clinicians to better visualize mechanisms between the spine, hip, and knee, enhancing patient treatment across all stages of care.  The EOS system introduces a fifth modality to reduce patient radiation dose for a wide range of patients providing an exceptional image contrast.
EOS aquisition system with 1 sterEOS workstationand selected microdose with 2 Xray sources and 2 Xray detection systems
EOS technology is exclusively implemented by the company EOS imaging. Thus, EOS is the only product based on this technology marketed in the world. EOS was developed by EOS imaging and is based on patents and patent requests fully owned by, or exclusively licensed to the company and which are not licensed or sublicensed to third parties. The system is developed, produced, and marketed by the Company and has no equivalent or similar competitor. This unique benefits from a combination of three features: 1 - The size of radiological images in an upright position (3D scanning Patent): The system allows, in a single scan and in an upright position, the acquisition of images from head to toe, without stitching. This feature is very important, in particular for medical conditions related to posture and interarticular compensation phenomena. It is especially necessary for all indications requiring full length acquisitions, such as: Ø Deformative and degenerative spine conditions Ø Long Leg Alignment (or lower limbs teleradiography): tibiae and femoral osteotomy, Knee, and Hip surgery Ø Global Posture Assessment 2 – The simultaneous acquisition of 2 orthogonal/biplane X-ray images (3D scanning Patent): This is the only diagnostic system that allows simultaneous acquisition of 2 orthogonal X-ray images in an upright position. This feature is based upon the need to remove potential patient movement between the frontal and lateral acquisitions when they are not simultaneous in order to allow the 3D reconstruction and 3D measurements of the patient. The simultaneous frontal and lateral acquisition is also a time saver for pathologies requiring AP/LAT images (scoliosis, spinal pain, arthrosis…). 3 - The ability of 3D modelling: This is the only system enabling 3D X-Ray imaging of the skeletal system (spine, pelvis, lower limb) in an upright position. This feature of 3D reconstruction is of a great importance to assess joint pathology with respect to torsions and rotations within the joint or within the bones, where it can replace a CT Scan. This statement certifies that the Company EOS imaging is the exclusive distributor of the EOS system. EOS imaging is also the sole owner of all the licenses that allow it to perform the updates of the software installed and that equipment. EOS imaging is the only company competent to install and maintain this equipment according to the recommendations of the manufacturer and to provide original spare parts, accessories, and consumables
