East Providence, R.I.-based University Orthopedics has become the first practice in the state to add EOSedge, a state-of-the-art imaging system, according to a March 31 report from Providence Business News.
EOSedge works by capturing images in seconds with less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays and CT scans. It can reduce the amount of radiation patients are exposed to by 80%.
University Orthopedics will also have access to a web-based platform built around EOSedge images that will use artificial intelligence to assess a patient’s spine alignment and create custom surgical plans.
EOSedge will allow surgeons to visualize patient data and track trends to develop better patient outcome predictions.
