Pioneer in Orthopedic Imaging Installs First 2-D/3-D Orthopedic Imaging System in Saudi Arabia

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 03 Nov 2015
A company that pioneered 2-D/3-D orthopedic medical imaging has announced that it has entered the Middle East market with an initial installation in Saudi Arabia.

The system was installed at the Jeddah Scan Radiology Center (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) with the aim to reduce radiation dose and provide 3-D modeling for axial skeleton diagnosis, planning and control, serving patients in a large urban population of 3.4 million.

The EOS system was installed by EOS imaging (Paris, France). More...
The EOS medical imaging system is designed for osteoarticular pathologies, and orthopedics, and other solutions, and is marketed in 48 countries including the US, Japan, and the European Union (EC). EOS imaging has offices in Paris and five subsidiaries in Besançon (France), Montreal (Canada), Frankfurt (Germany), Cambridge (Massachusetts), and in Singapore.

The Jeddah Scan Radiology Center provides specialist orthopedics, rheumatology, and pediatric services at a number of regional hospitals. The EOS platform provides stereo-radiographic 2-D and 3-D full-body images of patients, in functional positions, and reduces radiation dose by up to 85% Digital Radiology (DR) systems, or by up to 95% than a standard Computed Tomography (CT) scan. The system has been cleared the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Marie Meynadier, CEO, EOS imaging, said, “We’re excited to enter the Middle Eastern market, especially in a city like Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which has come to be considered a center of excellence in medical care. As part of our commitment to our shareholders and future patients, we are thrilled to see the EOS platform reach a new and important market with significant potential.”
