EOS 3D Skeletal Imaging

Istanbul

EOS 3D Skeletal Imaging in Istanbul is available at 1 hospital in the Voumed network.

EOS is a low-dose X-ray imaging system that captures the whole spine and the lower limbs in a single pass, while the patient stands naturally and bears their own weight. Two images, one from the front and one from the side, are taken at the same time, and from them the system builds a three-dimensional model of the skeleton. Because it images the body standing, it shows the skeleton in its real, load-bearing posture, which is especially important for assessing the spine and the legs. A key advantage is its very low radiation dose, much lower than standard digital X-ray, with a dedicated mode that reduces exposure even further in children.

At a glance

Type: low-dose skeletal X-ray imaging in a standing position
Used for: spinal curvatures such as scoliosis and kyphosis, lower-limb deformities, and surgical planning
Key benefit: a full, weight-bearing 3D view of the skeleton at a very low radiation dose
Radiation: uses X-rays, but at a far lower dose than standard digital X-ray, with a micro-dose mode for children
Where it is used: accredited orthopaedic imaging centres abroad
