Multiple Studies Underscore Value of EOS Full Body Imaging to Address Sagittal
Alignment
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., 2011-10-17 14:01 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
EOS imaging, leader in orthopedic imaging, announces a series of publications
supporting EOS's unique full body imaging capability to appropriately address
sagittal alignment, critical to maintaining musculoskeletal health. The
articles appeared in a recent supplement of the European Spine Journal titled,
'Sagittal Balance of the Spine: Consequences for the Treatment of the
Degenerative Spine.'
Professor Le Huec, chief of the spine unit at the Bordeaux University Hospital
(France) and vice-president of the Eurospine society said, 'EOS full body
imaging offers a new global perspective, allowing surgeons to more accurately
diagnose the origin of sagittal imbalance to make informed treatment decisions.
Sagittal alignment depends on a fragile relationship between spine curvatures,
pelvic shape and position of lower extremities. This alignment needs to be
preserved, and often restored, by surgery. For instance, when performing a
corrective spinal osteotomy, an over or under correction could lead to a
compensatory response from the pelvis and a mismatch of the lumbo-pelvic
profile may occur. The more information we have the better treatment decisions
we can make for the patient, and until now imaging had been limited in its
ability to capture the whole body.'
The EOS system allows for a single, full body or localized image with an
ultra-low dose, documented to be up to nine times less than conventional
computed radiography systems and more than 110 times below that of one
3-dimensional CT scan.1 The Nobel-prize winning technology and proprietary
software technology provide 3D imaging of the patient skeleton and
automatically calculates a broad range of clinical parameters essential to
diagnosis and surgical planning. Images can be obtained in standing or seated
weight-bearing positions to reflect the bone and joint status of the patient's
posture. The system is routinely used by medical centers in North America,
Europe, Asia and Australia.
Marie Meynadier, PhD, CEO, EOS imaging said, 'This collection of clinical data
validates the significant value of EOS's unique global orthopedic imaging
capabilities to understand musculoskeletal relationships as they relate to
sagittal balance. We hope this consensus from orthopedic thought leaders will
bring forth a more holistic approach to orthopedic and spinal care.'
The European Spine Journal supplement included the following articles featuring
EOS:
-- I. Obeid et al. 'Global Analysis of Sagittal Alignment in Major
Deformities: Correlation Between Lack of Lumbar Lordosis and Flexion of the
Knee'
-- G. Morvan et al. 'Standardized Way for Imaging of the Sagittal Spinal
Balance'
-- J.C. Le Huec et al. 'Thoracolumbar Imbalance Analysis for Osteotomy
Planification Using a New Method: FBI Technique'
-- J.Y. Lazennec et al. 'Hip-spine Relations and Sagittal Balance Clinical
Consequences'
About EOS imaging
EOS was developed from a Nobel Prize-winning technology by a team of engineers,
orthopedic surgeons and radiologists as a complete orthopedic imaging solution.
EOS allows full-body imaging of patients that enables global assessment of
balance and posture as well as a 3D bone-envelope image in a weight-bearing
position, and provides automatically over 100 clinical parameters to the
orthopedic surgeon for pre- and post-operative surgical planning. EOS is a
total solution in orthopedic imaging available in the U.S. since receiving FDA
510(k) clearance. The company EOS imaging has corporate headquarters in
Cambridge, Mass. (185 Alewife Brook Parkway, Suite 410; toll-free:
+1-866-933-5301), and Paris, as well as an office in Montreal, and is targeting
a $2 billion orthopedic imaging marketplace.Learn more at: www.eos-imaging.com.
