By GlobalDataThe company’s Spine Center is the first health centre in Orange County to deploy the EOSedge System.
Hoag Spine Center director Burak Ozgur said: “Because spine issues can result in shoulder, hip and knee discomfort, being able to see the entire skeleton and the pain points created by the spinal alignment helps patients better understand their pain and allows physicians to pinpoint underlying problems in a more timely fashion.
“The EOSedge is a remarkable advancement in musculoskeletal imaging, and we are thrilled to have this technology available to our patients.”
The EOSedge system incorporates Flex Dose technology to modulate radiation dose along the patient’s body, thereby minimising long-term impact.
It is claimed to be the first X-ray-based system to make use of photon-counting detection technology.
Its open cabin design with an enlarged patient platform is intended to ensure a more comfortable experience for patients.
Hoag’Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute associate executive medical director Adam Kanter said: “The EOS imaging system provides lightning-fast, high-quality images in a patient-friendly setting that maximises safety, efficiency, and workflow while drastically minimising radiation exposure.
“It enables us to see the entire spine, its interconnections and balance points, so we can treat the underlying condition that caused the disc to rupture or the bone to slip.”
