Our hospital is a local tertiary referral centre for paediatric spinal deformities. Patients were traditionally imaged with digital radiography and secondary digital stitching of images. Repeated imaging is routinely required for monitoring of disease progression.
EOS biplanar X-ray imaging unit is a novel system utilizing slot-scanning technology to acquire high-quality full-length images of patients in an upright weight-bearing position. The EOS system is now commonly used in Western countries. However, studies describing utilization in Asian population has not been published, according to our understanding. This study aims to describe our local experience, in particular lower radiation dose requirements when compared with default settings. Read More

EOS^TM is a biplanar radiographic imaging system that can simultaneously acquire whole-body frontal and lateral standing radiographs with moving x-ray tubes and detectors. EOS has been shown to reduce radiation exposure and study time in comparison to standard digital radiography. While it has primarily found utility in evaluation of scoliosis, there has been limited study of EOS in performing pediatric skeletal surveys, which can be time-consuming and challenging given the age of the patient and the large number of images required. This study evaluates how implementing EOS in combination with digital radiography (DR) can reduce the number of images acquired and improve patient/family experience. Read More
