How EOS Imaging Helps Your Health
EOS imaging is a low-dose, weight-bearing X-ray technology. It can simultaneously take full-body, frontal and lateral (side view) images of the skeletal system of a patient in a standing or sitting position, using significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays or CT scans. A typical EOS scan at HSS has a radiation dose equivalent to about one-third that of the dose of a conventional X-ray of the same body parts.
The results give you a detailed picture and measurements of the patient’s lower limb, pelvic angles, spine position, and leg length. The scan is bulk-billed on Medicare.
EOS imaging is invaluable for evaluating the following conditions:
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis
- Limb length discrepancy
- Balance and posture complications
- Hip dysplasia
- Bowleg and knock-knee conditions
- Lower back nerve impingement affecting the lower limb
- Muscular dystrophy and weakness affecting the lower limb
