EOS imaging (Paris:EOSI) (Euronext, FR0011191766 – EOSI), the pioneer in 2D/3D orthopedic medical imaging and associated solutions, has announced two EOS® system installations at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, a world-renowned hospital. The devices have been installed at New York-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and New York-Presbyterian/Allen Hospital.
The two EOS® installations at the New York-Presbyterian campuses are concurrent with the recent recruitment of three prominent spinal surgeons as part of an expansion of the hospital’s orthopedics program and the creation of a state-of-the-art comprehensive spinal surgery hospital in northern Manhattan.
New York-Presbyterian was recently ranked first in the New York metropolitan area and is consistently named to the honor roll of best hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, said, “We are proud that New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the third hospital group to adopt our unique technology in Manhattan, has selected EOS® to support its leadership position in orthopedics for both pediatric and adult patients in New York City. This double installation echoes the strong adoption momentum of our solution across the U.S.”
The EOS® system provides full-body stereo-radiographic images of patients in functional positions, in both 2D and 3D. EOS exams require a radiation dose 50% to 85% less than Digital Radiology and 95% less than basic CT scans, as well as related software solutions. The new EOS Micro Dose option, recently cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, allows a further drastic step towards the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) by bringing pediatric spine follow up exams at a dose level equivalent to a week of natural background radiation on Earth.
