EOS imaging (Euronext, FR0011191766 – EOSI), the pioneer in orthopedic 2D/3D
imaging, today announced the installation of the EOS®
system at the Clinique de la Source in Lausanne,
Switzerland marking the sixth EOS installation in the country and the first in a private healthcare center in
the Vaud canton.
Clinique de la Source, a member of the Swiss Leading Hospitals organization, is globally recognized in
orthopedic surgery and treats more than 100,000 patients each year. The Institute of Radiology at La
Source is the largest private medical imaging center in the Vaud region of Switzerland where Lausanne is
located. As such, this clinic features cutting-edge radiological imaging equipment - now including the gold
standard in low-dose stereoradiographic imaging with the EOS®
system.
"Ensuring patient comfort, limiting radiation exposure and ensuring that our imaging offerings are costeffective
for both patients and the Swiss healthcare system are major priorities for the entire La Source
team, from radiologists to hospital leadership," said Sylvain Duc, Radiologist at La Source's Institute of
Radiology. "The addition of the low-dose EOS imaging system and the enhanced 2D and 3D images it will
produce to our already robust imaging offerings will only strengthen the patient care at La Source."
Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, said, “The quality of care in orthopedic surgery at La Source led to
their decision to adopt EOS®
for their diagnosis, planning and control imaging. We are very pleased by that
decision from a leading institution, which contributes to turning EOS into a standard of care on the Swiss
market.”
The EOS®
system provides full-body stereoradiographic images of patients in functional positions, in both
2D and 3D. EOS exams require a radiation dose 50% to 85% less than Digital Radiology and 95% less than
basic CT scans. The new EOS Micro Dose option, recently cleared by the Food and Drug Administration,
allows a further drastic step towards the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Available) by bringing
pediatric spine follow up exams at the dose level equivalent to a week of natural background radiation on
Earth.
