Many parents express concern about exposing their child or teenager to radiation during an X-ray or CT scan. We are physicians, but we are also parents, so we fully appreciate their concern.
Using only about 10% of the radiation of traditional X-rays, EOS imaging is a low-dose x-ray, 2D/3D imaging technology that provides a detailed x-ray image of bones with more accurate information than traditional x-rays. The EOS system allows for more accurate assessment and—as a result—better, more precise treatments.
