Table 7. Mean radiation exposure of EOS compared to other techniques [16].
Technique | Full spine frontal | Full spine lateral |
---|---|---|
EOS | 0.253 | 0.339 |
Conventional radiograph (CR) | 1.662 | 1.862 |
CT-scan | 15.6 | |
Low-dose CT-scan | 5 |
Radiation exposure (in mGy) of EOS was compared to the most common imaging techniques in spinal examination in case of scoliosis [17].
