German Hospital Network Acquires Advanced 2D/3D Imaging Systems

A network of 17 hospitals in Germany has signed a corporate agreement for two 2D/3D imaging systems for standard orthopedic care.

Other sites in the same hospital network previously acquired two such systems in early 2016. The hospitals in the network treat more than 100,000 patients every year. The network specializes in orthopedic care of the joints, bones, back and spine, pediatric care, and neurological care of the brain and nerves.

The agreement was signed between EOS imaging (Paris, France) and the Schön Kliniken Hospital Network (Prien am Chiemsee, Germany). The EOS imaging scanner is an innovative imaging system that creates full-body stereo-radiographic images of standing patients in a single scan, for osteoarticular pathologies and orthopedics, for example. The system captures both whole-body frontal and lateral digital images simultaneously.

Carla Naumann, Schön Kliniken board member, said, “We decided to invest in the EOS technology because we believe the accurate and holistic measurements of spine problems, especially scoliosis, will improve the clinical outcomes for our patients. The 3D models, automatically calculated clinical parameters, and new suite of 3D surgical planning solutions that EOS offers are all part of our shared vision for improving the treatment of our orthopedic patients. Particularly for our young patients that often require regular imaging monitoring and follow up, we value the reduced radiation that EOS offers.”
