King\u2019s College Hospital London in Dubai is the first medical facility in the UAE to introduce the advanced EOS Imaging system.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This state-of-the-art medical imaging technology is fast, painless, and significantly enhances orthopaedic care. EOS Imaging improves outcomes of surgery by giving surgeons precise, full-body data, all while using a much lower radiation dose than standard X-Ray machines or CT scans.<\/p>\n

What is EOS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

EOS is a specialised medical imaging system designed for the unique demands of orthopaedic diagnostics. It captures full-body, front and side images simultaneously while the patient is in a natural, weight-bearing position, either standing or sitting. This allows doctors to assess spinal alignment, posture, and joint interaction in real-life functional positions, rather than the flat perspective of traditional X-ray machines, where patients are lying down.<\/p>\n

EOS provides accurate 2D X-ray images as well as detailed 3D orthopaedic imaging. Its Microdose option delivers ultra-low-dose scans without compromising the ability to generate 3D models, making it ideal for paediatric spine scans and long-term monitoring.<\/p>\n

EOS follows the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), helping minimise radiation exposure, especially important for patients who require more scans and imaging over time.<\/p>\n

What are the Benefits of the EOS Imaging System?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Low-dose radiation exposure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • EOS scans use 50% to 85% less radiation than normal X-ray machines.<\/li>\n
    • When replacing some CT scans, radiation can be reduced by up to 95%.<\/li>\n
    • The Microdose protocol for a full-spine scan exposes the patient to about the same amount of radiation as one week of everyday background exposure from the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. True-to-life images in a functional position<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        • Unlike traditional imaging where you lie down, EOS scans are taken while you are standing or seated.<\/li>\n
        • This posture-based approach allows doctors to analyse how your spine, hips, and legs interact, particularly useful for orthopaedic surgery planning, scoliosis monitoring, and joint evaluations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          1. Greater accuracy and better outcomes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            • EOS generates over 100+ precise measurements in both 2D and 3D, captured from a functional, weight-bearing perspective.<\/li>\n
            • It helps visualise the full skeleton, with the ability to model bone position, rotation, and alignment in 3D.<\/li>\n
            • It is essential for post-surgical assessments of hip and knee implants.<\/li>\n
            • Even microdose paediatric images can be used to construct accurate 3D models.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              What Happens During an EOS Appointment?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              You will be asked to either stand or sit during the scan. The EOS system will capture full-body or targeted images while your body is in a natural, weight-bearing state, without lying down or being repositioned.<\/p>\n

              The scan is fast, quiet, and stress-free. Within 20 seconds or less, the system captures detailed images that allow your consultant to better understand your spinal alignment, posture, and joint mechanics.<\/p>\n

              EOS also has the advanced capability to generate 3D anatomical models, giving your orthopaedic team more insight into your condition for better treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":2774,"menu_order":395,"template":"","service-category":[],"class_list":["post-2773","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
