Scoliosis and EOSedge Technology

Physician reviewing imaging of spine | NASA MRI EOSedge Technology for Scoliosis Patients

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves abnormally, taking on an S or a C shape, while a healthy spine is straight. Those with Scoliosis require frequent imaging, and traditional X-rays have long been the option. While these images are necessary for treatment, they come with significant radiation concerns with long-term health risks. But now better alternatives exist.

The EOSedge is an innovative advancement in medical imaging, representing a breakthrough solution for patients with chronic conditions like Scoliosis. EOSedge dramatically reduces radiation exposure—up to 80% less compared to traditional x-rays.

Key Benefits of EOSedge Technology

  1. Full-body imaging in a single scan
  2. Up to 80% less radiation compared to traditional X-rays
  3. Captures the spine in its natural, standing position
  4. Provides detailed 3D spine modeling
  5. Faster scan times, increasing patient comfort
  6. Suitable for patients of all ages, including children
  7. High-resolution images for a more accurate diagnosis
  8. Ability to see smaller changes in spinal curvature
  9. Reduced need for repeat scans

The EOSedge technology is not just about reducing radiation, it is about creating a comfortable and comprehensive imaging experience for patients. Patients can be scanned while standing naturally, which provides doctors with a more accurate view of their spinal alignment and curvature.

As the medical technology advances, solutions like the EOSedge demonstrate how innovation can improve patient care. This new machine prioritizing both diagnostic accuracy and patient safety, EOSedge represents a significant step forward in scoliosis management.
