Image: The electrogoniometer serves as a diagnostic device for surgeons or physical therapists, who currently use X-rays to evaluate the progression pre- and post-spinal surgery. The tri-axial electrogoniometer is a battery-powered device, attached to the back by two straps, that displays real time data of every spinal movement in three orthogonal planes. It allows clinicians to evaluate the range of motion of the spine, providing more dynamic and accurate results than X-rays (Photo courtesy of the Stevens Institute of Technology).

Saving Back Pain Patients from X-Rays with Electrogoniometer Technology

Patients who have undergone extensive back surgery and who require additional X-rays to track their progress may soon have access to a noninvasive, non-X-ray device that assesses spinal movement, a technology that avoids the X-rays and repeated radiation exposure.   More...

Tomosynthesis Application More Sensitive Than Chest X-Ray Detecting Lung Nodules

A new tomosynthesis tool provides enhanced detection and management of lung cancer patients and is 7.5 times more sensitive than chest X-ray without decreased specificity in identifying patients who require follow-up.  More...
