EOS imaging designs, develops and markets EOS, a medical imaging system revolutionising the treatment chain of the main osteoarticular diseases (hips, knees, back) and related orthopedic surgery. Based upon the work of Physics Nobel Prize Winner Georges Charpak, the EOS system is the first imaging solution capable of producing, in one step, a 2D and 3D image of the uprightskeleton with a very low radiation dose. EOS 2D/3D images are produced in the patient's natural functional position, raising the accuracy of diagnosis, surgery and osteoarticular pathological follow-up.
The EOS imaging group has obtained marketing authorisations in 30 countries including the United States (FDA), Canada, Australia and the European Union (CE). With a workforce of 57 employees, including an R&D team of 21 engineers, the EOS imaging group posted sales of €4.8 million in 2010.
EOS imaging aspires to turn into the key player in orthopeadic medical imaging and aims more specifically at:
• increasing international marketing activities on existing markets and to develop in new geographical areas;
• expanding the offer of services and innovative applications to address specific clinical requirements; • pursuing the expansion of technological innovations based on the EOS platform.
