Beyond Radiology, in its goal to bring state-of-the-art imaging to New Zealand, is proud to introduce the first EOSedge® scanner of its kind to New Zealand.
As only the 3rd EOS® installation in Australasia, Beyond Radiology is now leading the way with its use of latest-generation, cutting-edge tech, to give customers the clarity they need, it the most effective manner.
The EOSegde® imaging platform is a next-generation slot scanning general X-ray system introduced by EOS® imaging as recently as 2019.
EOSedge® strives to provide functional orthopaedic imaging with a strong adherence to the ‘ALARA’ principle (a principle describing the aim to use ‘as low as reasonably achievable’ radiation dose).
EOSedge® provides significant radiation dose savings to the patient while providing superior image quality and accuracy for the radiologist and orthopaedic surgeon.
Key features & benefits of EOSegde®:
Below are just some of the key features and benefits that give EOS® the edge:
1: Capture true 1:1 scale functional 2D images:
– Improves accuracy by eliminating stitching artefacts
– Slot scan acquisition reduces errors introduced by image magnification
– Functional acquisitions in natural weight-bearing postures (sitting and standing)
2: Generate precise 2D and 3D measurements with simultaneous stereoradiographic acquisition:
– Accurate simultaneous two plane (AP/PA and lateral) 2D acquisition for 2D measurements
– Software integrations to allow semi-automated generation of patient specific 3D models
3: Open design with a large functional image acquisition zone
– 175 x 45cm imaging zone
– Mobile patient base platform allows for greater patient compatibility and easy access
4: Fast image acquisition
– Image acquisition time in scanner is under 20 seconds for average-sized adults and 15 seconds for children
5: Prioritising the ALARA principle
– Radiation dose As Low As Reasonably Achievable
– EOS3® vs EOS4 (EOSedge®) with the introduction of a photon counting detecto®r dose has been further reduced with the new platform while maintaining comparable image quality.
– Particle detector linear slot scanning technology eliminates need for a traditional grid to eliminate scatter radiation and allows for automated flexible dose modulation
– EOS® micro-dose protocol for paediatric spine follow-ups further reduces radiation dose.
– Significant benefits in paediatric populations, especially in for girls with reduction in breast and ovarian dose exposure.
