EOS

Conventional radiography is usually the first imaging examination performed in patients with orthopaedic conditions. For the spine and the lower limbs, this exam is of even greater importance, as it is very panoramic and provides crucial information about deformities. Even when performed well, the spine and the lower limbs radiographies suffer from deformation, which does not allow performing precise measurements. At the Unit, the EOS system is used, which is an advanced radiographic scanner able to obtain spine and lower limbs radiographies without any deformation. What’s also important is that, this system provides a remarkably lower radiation dose to patients, also enabling to perform 3D measurements when needed.
