TAMPA, Florida, July 17 -- The Shriners Hospitals for Children issued the following news:
Despite the skeletal system being a 3D structure, physicians often use 2D imaging technologies like X-ray to assess patients in an upright position to help diagnose the cause of pain and discomfort. For scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine, there is an exciting technology that plays a key role in our ability to care for patients. It's called the EOS(R) system, a low dose imaging system . . .
