Frost & Sullivan Applauds EOS imagingFrost & Sullivan Applauds EOS imaging for its Highly Innovative, X-ray-Based Imaging Modality for Orthopedics PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Nov. 26, 2013 -- The company has fine-tuned every aspect of the workflow associated with EOS imaging examinations in order to optimize the business model proposed by the modality Based on its recent analysis of the medical imaging market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes EOS imaging with the 2013 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation Leadership. The company's flagship product, the EOS, provides high-quality, whole-body images of a sitting or standing patient, using a fraction of the radiation dose required by conventional imaging methods. A unique modality with no direct competition in the market, the EOS is gradually establishing its presence in the orthopedic space, where it is finding application as a valuable diagnostic, as well as a pre- and post-surgical clinical tool. The EOS system uses simultaneous image acquisition from two connected imaging assemblies, enabling intrinsic 3-D weight-bearing modeling of the bone envelope from just two views. It also captures frontal and lateral views, without stitching, in a single, low-dose imaging episode. Furthermore, the resulting images are true-size with a one-to-one scale, enabling accurate and reproducible measurements, intuitive interpretation and better-informed clinical insight.
