EOS imaging gains CE mark for hipEOS, the first 3D stereoradiographic planning software

EOS imaging announced in March the CE mark of hipEOS, a 3D hip arthroplasty planning software based on EOS biplanar 3D imaging.

hipEOS is the first offering of a software portfolio to be associated with the EOS imaging system. It is based on EOS low dose 3D images and technology from OneFit Medical, a company EOS imaging acquired in late 2013. It will initially be deployed as an online service to assist surgeons in hip prosthesis selection and placement simulation based on 3D images generated by the EOS system.

Professor Didier Mainard of Nancy University Hospital in France said, “hipEOS enables physicians and surgeons to select the best fit prosthesis for each patient using 2D and 3D images and the EOS imaging data set. The 3D element of the software takes a lot of the guesswork out of prosthesis sizing and should allow surgeons to perform these replacements more efficiently thanks to better visualization.”
