FDA Clears Biospace Low Dose X-ray Imager

October 11, 2007 — Biospace Med recently announced that it has received 510k clearance from the FDA to market EOS, a new digital Xray imager for 2D imaging use.
EOS 2D/3D technology is part of a total solution to orthopedic imaging, reportedly allowing images to be obtained with a low dose of radiation, and is capable of long length digital imaging, permitting full-body, uninterrupted digital imaging with a single scan. Information submitted to FDA in support of Biospace med's marketing application demonstrated up to 10 times reduction in dose when compared with commercially available film systems -- without compromising image quality. Whole body, standing position imaging is especially valued by orthopedic surgeons when examining spine and joint alignment, as it provides a more comprehensive clinical view.
