EOS Imaging SA's New Study Shows Promising Results In Predicting Scoliosis Progression From 3D Imaging

EOS Imaging SA announced results of a new clinical study highlighting the value of 3D spine measurements provided by the EOS imaging system for monitoring and predicting scoliosis progression as of the patient’s first medical visit. The prospective study, financed by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the FRSQ (Fonds de recherche en Santé du Québec, the Quebec Health Research Fund), involved 134 patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). The findings demonstrated that the 3D morphological parameters of the spine obtained with EOS can be used to distinguish between progressive scoliosis and non-progressive scoliosis from the point of the first medical visit. Such a distinction is not possible on the basis of two-dimensional parameters.
