EOS imaging, the pioneer in 2D/3D orthopaedic medical imaging, has received CE Mark for spineEOS, its online 3D planning software for spine surgery based on EOS bi-planar imaging. spineEOS is third “EOSapp” software planning solution introduced by the company, joining its hipEOS and kneeEOS products.

The spineEOS online 3D planning software allows a surgeon to utilise 3D imaging provided by the EOS system to create an optimized treatment plan to achieve improved sagittal alignment for paediatric patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis as well as adults suffering from degenerative or deformative spine conditions. The software, which provides a treatment simulation based on reference values, takes into account the patient vertebrae shape and position in 3D. The expected surgical correction can be visualized and captured in a planning report. Professor Peter Newton at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, California and Professor Brice Ilharreborde at Debré Hospital in Paris, France are currently conducting clinical studies using the new spineEOS planning software.

The company has displayed all three EOSapps at its booth at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting, March 1-5 in Orlando, Florida. The company also highlighted at AAOS the EOS system and related products and services, which provide physicians with the ability to visualise a patient’s anatomy in a weight bearing position, calculate clinical parameters and plan surgeries in 3D without needing costly, high dose CT exams, which image a patient in non-weight bearing position.

Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, said, “We are looking forward to highlighting our product offering at AAOS and share the value in the orthopaedic space of our EOS imaging platform and new EOSapps. These online 3D surgical planning solutions are a big step towards planning patient-specific procedures in 3D that are cost effective, and provide our company the exciting opportunity to offer full image-based services along key orthopedic care pathways.”

EOS imaging has been chosen to be included in the new EnterNext PEA-PME 150 index, composed of 150 French companies and listed on Euronext and Alternext markets in Paris.
