Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare is the
first US hospital to image patients with EOSedge
EOS imaging (Euronext, FR0011191766 - EOSI - PEA-PME
eligible), a leader in 2D/3D orthopedic medical imaging and
software solutions for 3D anatomical modeling and surgical
planning, today announces the first exams performed with EOSedge in
the United States, at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare’s
main campus located in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Founded in 1897, Gillette Children’s was the first hospital in
the country dedicated to treating children with disabilities. The
prestigious institution treats children and adolescents who have
rare and complex medical conditions such as scoliosis, cerebral
palsy and spina bifida. At the forefront of innovation, Gillette
Children’s has implemented the new EOSedge platform to expand its
imaging capabilities at its St. Paul Campus.
“For more than a century, we have been recognized as a leader in
treating children with complex conditions, rare disorders and
traumatic injuries. Our patients, their families, and our staff
expect the very best care including access to enabling
technologies. EOSedge aligns with our vision, with the ability to
deliver high quality images while focusing on minimizing radiation
dose, as well as 3D capabilities for a more complete understanding
of complex issues. We are honored to be the first facility in the
United States to offer this innovative imaging platform and what it
means to the patients we serve” said Dennis S. Jolley, Chief
Strategy Officer at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare.
EOSedge marks a continued partnership between EOS imaging and
Gillette Children’s, with the first-generation EOS system installed
at the facility in 2016. With the new EOSedge system, Gillette
Children’s expands on EOS systems core principles with several
potential care advantages. The EOSedge’s new Flex DoseTM
technology, where the radiation dose adjusts to the patient’s
morphology along the acquisition, ensures minimal exposure to the
patient. The open cabin is more spacious, making it easier to enter
the acquisition field to position the patient. The exam scan time
takes less than 15 seconds
Tenner Guillaume, MD, a pediatric spine surgeon at Gillette
Children’s, sees the advantages of EOSedge expanding beyond
diagnostics, with access to EOS 3D models and surgical planning
applications: “The EOS solution provides us not only with the
remarkable EOSedge system advantages, but also access to valuable
3D information to diagnose, plan and treat orthopedic conditions as
well as monitoring disease progression over the long term. EOSedge
images in conjunction with EOS 3D planning is a remarkable
combination to plan my surgeries and helps to engage with patients
and their families to facilitate the discussions on complex
conditions."
EOS imaging’s suite of Advanced Orthopedic Solutions (AOS) is
integrated with the EOSedge platform. 3D models and data can be
used at each step of the patient care pathway, including diagnosis,
pre-operative planning, surgery, post-operative control and
follow-up. The image-based data provided by EOS imaging allows
physicians to confidently manage patient care at these different
stages, with accurate data sets.
Mike Lobinsky, EOS imaging’s CEO added, “We are pleased to
expand our partnership with current customers focused on delivering
superior care and excited to have Gillette Children’s become the
first facility in the U.S. to implement our revolutionary EOSedge
system. Gillette is known as an innovator in providing care for
children with complex conditions and we are honored to have them
adopt our latest innovations in imaging and 3D surgical planning
solutions for the treatment of their patients.”
