Cedar Knolls Office Is the Only Private Practice in Northern New Jersey to Offer 2-D and 3-D Xray Imaging of Spine, Upper and Lower Extremities that Reduces Radiation Exposure by up to 96%
Cedar Knolls, NJ (Thursday, May 30, 2024) — The Pediatric Orthopedic Center has just announced that its Cedar Knolls office is the first private practice in Northern, NJ, to offer the EOSedge, the next generation in low-dose imaging tools.
Specifically, The Pediatric Orthopedic Center now offers 2-D and 3-D x-ray imaging of the spine and upper and lower extremities, including knees and hips, to its pediatric patients from newborns to 21 years old. Perhaps most notably, the EOSedge’s “Flex Dose” x-ray technology reduces the patient’s exposure to radiation by up to 96%, using the Micro Dose function.
“With the introduction of EOSedge, The Pediatric Orthopedic Center now offers patients statewide access to the most advanced imaging technology available, ensuring precise, low-dose imaging for superior pediatric orthopedic care. Being the first here in Northern New Jersey to offer this EOS imaging technology is a true testament to our commitment to providing the highest quality care while prioritizing patient safety,” stated Mark A. Rieger, MD, senior physician and a surgeon at The Pediatric Orthopedic Center.
According to Dr. Rieger, EOSedge’s dramatic reduction in exposure to radiation is especially important for pediatric patients with scoliosis because they typically require multiple scans throughout their treatment journey. In addition, EOS precise imaging provides a detailed X-ray image of bones with more accurate information than traditional X-rays.
“The EOSedge system is a remarkable advancement in musculoskeletal imaging, and it is our privilege to have this technology available to our surgeons and patients,” said Dr. Rieger.. “This new system will enable us to obtain highly accurate patient data for informed clinical decision-making. We believe this signifies best-in-class care and a tremendous honor for us to be the first to offer EOSedge in northern New Jersey.”
