Abstract

Background: Long-term ionizing Radiation exposure is a risk to young scoliosis patients. A new slot-scanning imaging system, “ EOS Imaging” has been shown, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, to emit significantly lower levels of ionizing Radiation. This is a single-center, preliminary report of radiographic assessment by a new system. Methods: Thirty-eight patients with Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) who had spine radiographs (antero-posterior, lateral or bending) were included. Patients were divided into two groups: (1) conventional radiography (CR) and (2) EOS-imaging. Patients’ s demographics and total annual Radiation (TAR) doses were calculated. The mean TAR dose per patient was compared to annual background Radiation estimated by Radiological Society of North America (2. 4 mSv). The mean Radiation dose for anteroposterior and lateral spine film with the EOS Imaging system was reported as 0. 12 and 0. 19 mSv per the manufacturer. Results: There were 25 patients in the CR and 18 patients in the EOS-imaging group. Five patients had films from both CR and EOSimaging on different occasions. Mean follow-up of the entire cohort from the first spine x-ray was 1. 3 years (0. 3-2 years). The mean TAR dose per patient was 10. 2 mSv (3. 3-20. 3) and 1. 3 (0. 6-2. 2) for CR and EOS-imaging groups, respectively. The mean TAR was 4. 25 (CR) and 0. 54 (EOS-imaging) that of annual background Radiation. The mean age of patients at the first spine X-ray within the study period was 4. 1 years (0. 11-9. 2) in CR and 7. 6 year (3. 3-10. 5) in the EOS-imaging group. Conclusions: Our study shows the TAR dose per patient from EOS Imaging systems are lower than conventional systems and can be utilized for patients as young as 3 years old. This study suggests that the use of this new system can reduce TAR dose in EOS patients; however, a larger cohort with longer follow-up is needed to critically examine this statement.
