A New Era in Pediatric Imaging
Earlier this year, The Pediatric Orthopedic Center proudly announced that its Cedar Knolls office is the first private practice in Northern New Jersey to offer the EOSedge, the next generation of low-dose imaging tools. This cutting-edge technology significantly reduces radiation exposure while maintaining high image quality, thereby enhancing pediatric care.
Understanding EOSedge: The Future of Imaging Technology
EOSedge represents a remarkable advancement in medical imaging. Developed by EOS Imaging, a leader in low-dose imaging solutions, EOSedge provides both 2-D and 3-D x-ray imaging capabilities. This innovative technology allows for detailed imaging of the spine, knees, hips, and other extremities, ensuring comprehensive care for our pediatric patients.
The Benefits of Low-Dose Imaging: Safety First
One of the standout features of the EOSedge is its “Flex Dose” x-ray technology, which can reduce a patient’s radiation exposure by up to 96% through the MicroDose function. This is especially crucial for pediatric patients with conditions like scoliosis, who often require multiple scans throughout their treatment journey. By prioritizing patient safety, EOSedge delivers high-quality images without the associated risks of traditional imaging methods.
Precise Imaging for Informed Decisions
According to Dr. Mark A. Rieger, senior physician at The Pediatric Orthopedic Center, EOSedge provides precise imaging that offers more accurate information than traditional X-rays. This level of detail enables surgeons to make informed clinical decisions, significantly improving the overall quality of pediatric orthopedic care.
Commitment to Quality Care: The TPOC Promise
The introduction of EOSedge exemplifies The Pediatric Orthopedic Center’s unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality care. Dr. Rieger emphasizes that having access to this advanced imaging technology ensures that patients across the state receive superior care with an emphasis on both safety and accuracy.
The Future of Pediatric Orthopedic Care
With the EOSedge system now available, The Pediatric Orthopedic Center is setting a new standard in pediatric imaging. This innovative technology not only enhances the diagnostic capabilities of our specialists but also reflects our dedication to patient care. For families seeking advanced, low-dose imaging for their children, the Cedar Knolls office is ready to provide exceptional service using the latest technology.
