A company that leads in 2-D/3-D orthopedic medical imaging announced that it has acquired the rights to a worldwide license for a 2-D/3-D software that can predict the risk of adolescent patients with mild scoliosis developing severe deformities.

The software algorithm uses various clinical parameters obtained from patient reports to set a predictive score and help determine the risk of young patients with an early and mild scoliosis developing severe scoliosis.

The exclusive rights to the technology were secured by EOS imaging (Paris, France). More...

The software uses 2-D and 3-D parameters from EOS imaging systems. Eight imaging centers equipped with EOS systems centers in the USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, France, and Canada will evaluate the use of the technology as a predictive tool, as part of a multicenter study.

The software will enable clinicians to predict the risk of severe scoliosis and help them choose between surgery and a brace as the best therapy. EOS imaging is also involved in research to improve the design of such braces using 3-D data of the spine, ribs, and body contours.

CEO of EOS imaging, Marie Meynadier, said, “This promising technology confirms the value of the 3D data naturally associated with EOS images in developing applications and services dedicated to orthopedic care pathways. Acquiring these exclusive rights is an integral part of our global strategy to offer doctors not only cutting-edge imaging technology, but also a full suite of software and services to help them in their therapeutic strategies and execution, to the greatest benefit to patients.”
