Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Cantor Spine Institute is using the EOS imaging system to assist in spine procedures, reports Haute Living.
Three things to know:
1. EOS imaging is an advanced orthopedic imaging system that can be used to treat musculoskeletal conditions in the spine, hips and knees among others.
2. The new system allows surgeons to provide two full-body images of the patient's anatomy.
3. With EOS, surgeons can visualize, plan and practice the procedure before the patient arrives in the OR.
"Aside from a meaningful decrease in radiation exposure, the clarity and quality of the images generated by the EOS system offers real advantages," said Anthony Giuffrida, MD, director, interventional spine and sports at CSI. "Clearer images improve diagnostic accuracy. This helps us to more effectively design and direct treatments to reach our first goal. To avoid surgery."
