Presentation of the Biospace med's EOS ultra-low dose 2D/3D orthopedic imager.

biospace med was founded on a unique partnership between a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a team of biomedical engineers, orthopaedic surgeons, and radiologists who have developed a complete orthopaedic imaging solution. The company’s lead product, EOS ultra low dose 2D/3D Xray imager, allows full-body imaging of patients in a weight-bearing position that will enable global assessment of balance and posture. An advanced workstation, designed to generate a 3D skeletal image from the two planar images, is under development.

EOS captures a whole or partial body image in a single scan without the need for any digital stitching – all at a reduced dose. In addition, the system allows simultaneous bi-plane image acquisition (frontal and lateral). Information submitted to FDA in support of biospace med’s marketing application demonstrated up to 10 times reduction in dose when compared with commercially available film systems – without compromising image quality. EOS can also generate a 3D skeletal reconstruction from the two simultaneously acquired planar images. This product will also feature automatic measurement software designed to calculate a variety of length and angle calculations between individual bones and joints, potentially helping to evaluate global balance and posture.
