Charleston-based Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Health has introduced EOS imaging at the R. Keith Summey Medical Pavilion to reduce radiation exposure and speed imaging for pediatric patients.
The system captures full-body, upright images from the front and side at the same time, supporting care for children with spinal conditions such as scoliosis, as well as neurological and lower-extremity disorders, according to a March 10 news release.
The technology also allows for alignment-based imaging and reduces the need for repeat scans and repositioning, which can shorten appointment times for patients who require frequent imaging.
It is expected to be used for patients with conditions including cerebral palsy, growth differences, angular deformities and hip disorders.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
