EOSedge Imaging Comes to Durango: Low-Dose Spine and Orthopedic Scans

World-Class Imaging, Now Close to Home

At Spine Colorado, we believe world-class spine care shouldn’t require a long drive or a waitlist in a big-city hospital. That’s why we’re proud to bring the EOSedge® imaging system to Durango—one of the most advanced tools in orthopedic diagnostics, now available right here in the Four Corners.

EOSedge delivers low-dose, high-resolution, full-body imaging that helps us understand the way your spine, joints, and posture all work together so we can build more precise, personalized treatment plans from the start.

If you’ve been living with back pain, recovering from an injury, or planning for surgery, this technology gives you something essential: answers.

What Is EOSedge? A New Standard in Spine and Joint Imaging

EOSedge is an advanced imaging system that captures high-resolution, full-body images while you’re standing or sitting in a natural position. That upright, weight-bearing perspective matters—because it shows how your body truly functions under real-life conditions, not just while lying flat on a table.

Think of it like this: instead of looking at just one piece of the puzzle, EOSedge shows us the entire picture of your spine and joints working together.

Unlike traditional X-rays that often require multiple stitched images (and can distort scale), EOSedge produces calibrated, 1:1 scale images with no magnification errors. It captures front and side views simultaneously, giving physicians a clear, complete look at your musculoskeletal system in just a single scan.

This level of imaging supports diagnosis and treatment planning for conditions such as:

• Degenerative disc disease (DDD)

• Scoliosis and spinal deformities

• Hip and knee osteoarthritis

• Limb-length discrepancies

• Postural and balance challenges

• Pre- and post-operative orthopedic assessments

A Comfortable, Efficient Patient Experience

We know medical imaging can sound intimidating, but EOSedge was designed with patients in mind. From start to finish, the exam typically takes less than four minutes, with the scan itself lasting only 20–30 seconds.

Here’s what you can expect:

• You’ll be guided into an open, accessible imaging cabin—no cramped tubes or awkward setups.

• You’ll stand or sit naturally on the platform, allowing the system to capture your posture as it truly is.

• Two slim scanners move smoothly around you, recording full-body, front, and side images at once.

That’s it! No needles, no dyes, no recovery time.

And because the process is so fast and efficient, imaging will be completed in the same appointment where you receive your diagnosis and start treatment. That means fewer visits, less waiting, and quicker answers when you need them most.

How EOSedge Improves Diagnostic Accuracy

When it comes to your spine and joints, details matter. EOSedge captures those details with unmatched precision, giving our physicians more insight to guide your care.

The system produces true-to-scale images, so what your doctor sees on screen is exactly what exists in your body. That accuracy eliminates common errors caused by magnification or stitching in conventional X-rays.

Perhaps most importantly, EOSedge allows us to assess your global alignment—how your spine, pelvis, hips, knees, and legs line up and support each other. Seeing the entire system at once helps us spot subtle imbalances that might be causing pain, strain, or long-term wear on your joints.

With EOSedge, we can:

• Measure spinal curves with extreme accuracy

• Evaluate joint spacing and bone positioning

• Track changes over time with confidence

• Plan surgeries with clearer data and greater precision

The result? Fewer surprises, more tailored treatment, and better long-term outcomes.

Lower Radiation, Safer Scans

EOSedge delivers clear images while keeping safety a top priority. Thanks to advanced Flex Dose™ and Micro Dose™ technology, EOSedge reduces radiation exposure by up to 80–96% compared to conventional digital radiography. 

To put it in perspective, some scans deliver less radiation than what you’re naturally exposed to in a week.

This makes EOSedge especially beneficial for:

• Children and teens with scoliosis who need regular imaging as they grow

• Adults undergoing post-surgical monitoring, where multiple follow-up scans are common

• Patients with chronic conditions who require frequent updates to guide care

By combining low radiation with high-quality images, EOSedge makes ongoing monitoring safer without compromising accuracy.

Who Can Benefit from EOS Imaging?

This technology supports a wide range of patients, including those who:

• Live with chronic back, neck, or joint pain not explained by standard imaging

• Are recovering from an injury and want faster, clearer answers

• Need precise pre- or post-surgical imaging for spine or joint procedures

• Are concerned about radiation exposure from repeated scans

• Simply want a more efficient, accurate diagnostic experience

From active young adults to seniors focused on maintaining independence, EOSedge helps us deliver better care across every stage of life.

Durango, This Is for You

For too long, advanced imaging like EOSedge was available only in large academic centers or big-city hospitals. That meant long drives, added expenses, and delayed answers.

By bringing EOSedge to Durango, Spine Colorado is changing that. You now have access to the same cutting-edge imaging technology used in leading medical centers nationwide, without leaving your community.

It’s a major win for patients across the Four Corners. No more road trips just to get the scans you need. With EOSedge, advanced diagnostics are local, fast, and accessible.
