EOSedge™: imaging system for orthopedic evaluation

For a better evaluation of the skeletal alignment of adults and adolescents, images and assessment details assist providers in determining the right proposed treatment for you.

What is EOSedge™?

EOSedge™ is an imaging system that uses an AI digital software (EOS Insight™) to provide medical professionals with high-quality images and data to better understand each individual patient’s unique anatomy and condition. The images and information generated by EOSedge are processed by EOS Insight and then used by your surgical team to make decisions, and develop treatment plans for orthopedic medical conditions, such as:

  • Degenerative Spine/Disc Disease (DDD)
  • Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD)
  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
  • Limb-length discrepancy
  • Hip and knee osteoarthritis
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Balance and posture complications
  • Bowlegs and Knock-Knees
  • General orthopedic conditions
If you have a degenerative condition or scoliosis, please talk to your provider for a referral.

How will my doctor use the information for my EOSedge exam?

Your provider will review the images and other diagnostic information about your skeletal alignment. The images and alignment assessment details will assist your doctor in determining the best course of action for your proposed treatment, enabling them to develop a personalized plan, and to subsequently evaluate the outcome of any received treatments. Surgical planning capabilities through the software are used more often on adult patients. For example, this imaging might be used for a lower extremity scan on a patient needing orthopedic surgery.

What are the benefits of an EOSedge exam?

EOSedge is a low dose imaging system.* Flex Dose minimizes radiation exposure while still delivering high-resolution images. For patients who require frequent follow-up imaging, such as pediatric patients with scoliosis, an additional dose reduction feature called Micro Dose™ can be used, providing up to a 96% dose reduction compared to digital radiography, resulting in the equivalent of less than a week's worth of natural radiation exposure.

* Each exam is taken in consideration of the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA) radiation dose principle1, providing up to 80% overall radiation reduction per exam compared to conventional digital radiography.2 To achieve this, EOSedge uses a dose adjustment feature called Flex Dose™, automatically adjusting the dose based on each patient's body composition and physical build.

What is “global alignment” and why is it important?

Over the past decade, there has been an increased view of the importance of global skeletal alignment. Imagine your body is like a puzzle made up of different pieces, and each body part, for example your spine, hip or knee, represents a piece of the puzzle. Global alignment allows your provider to make sure all pieces of the puzzle fit together just right, so your body can be balanced and work as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

The EOS Insight platform provides your provider with a thorough understanding of your global alignment by providing not only the appropriate images, but also the diagnostic information needed to make treatment plans and evaluate their effectiveness.

What should I expect during my EOSedge exam?

EOSedge was designed to comfortably accommodate most children and adults. The system captures two X-ray scans of your body at the same time, one from the front and one from the side. For the exam, the patient is in a standing or seated position with the goal of giving physicians and medical providers a depiction of your natural, weight-bearing posture.

Once in the EOSedge room, a radiology technician will ask you to remove shoes, jewelry and any metal objects. You will be asked to stand or sit on the lowered orange platform. Once in the appropriate position, two pods containing the X-ray tubes will lower and raise to acquire the images, taking around 20 to 30 seconds. The radiology technician will notify you once the images are completed and will then escort you off the platform.
