EOS imaging Installs System at Clinique Arago, Top-Ranking Paris Joint Surgery CenterEOS imaging (Paris:EOSI) (Euronext, FR0011191766 - EOSI), the pioneer in 2D/3D orthopedic medical imaging, announced today the installation of an EOS imaging system in the number-one ranked hip and knee prosthesis clinic in France, Clinique Arago. Founded in 1984, Clinique Arago is a specialized orthopedic surgery center that performs approximately 2,600 orthopedic procedures every year, out of which approximately 1000 hip arthroplasties and 500 knee arthroplasties. Clinique Arago has been over the last decade consistently amongst the three top public or private healthcare centers for knee and hip prosthetic surgery in the various French ranking systems. EOS has been installed in the Arago's recently opened second building. "We pride ourselves in having a comprehensive suite of orthopedic treatments, and the addition of EOS will be incredibly useful across our spectrum of treatment options," said the radiologists at Clinique Arago. "The 2D and 3D images obtained from the EOS system and the associated planning software hipEOS will take a lot of the guesswork out of prosthesis sizing and should allow our surgeons to more effectively visualize, plan, and more efficiently perform thesereplacements." Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, said, "The Clinique Arago is one of the premier destinations for lower limb joint surgery in France, and EOS imaging is proud to be included in the treatment landscape of such a prestigious center. Adoption by Clinique Arago reflects the Company's growing offering and value in joint surgery, which was recently exemplified by the launch of our hipEOS planning software for hip arthroplasty."
