2 Purpose Introduction: - in recent years, a new imaging tool has been offered to clinicians and radiologists: the EOS system - EOS, an ultra low dose 2D 3D digital X-ray system, is a new imaging system developed by biospace med. The company was founded in 1989 by the 1992 winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, Georges Charpak, for the invention of a high-energy physics gaseous particle detector. Since 2000, the detector technology has had commercial applications in preclinical imaging systems used in pharmaceutical research. Recently, with the development of EOS, biospace med has adapted Charpak's detector technology for clinical X-ray imaging. Because of the detector and product configuration, EOS allows X-ray imaging to be performed at a much lower dose, with very high contrast and without the distortion inherent in today's longer length film and digital imaging systems - EOS allows for the simultaneous acquisition of two orthogonal planar images in a vertical scanning mode. The EOS X-ray system architecture is different from usual digital radiography devices. The gantry is composed of two sets of detectors and X-ray tubes positioned orthogonally and supported by a mobile C-arm. This C-arm moves vertically using a linear scanning technique, guided by three cylindrical slide bars. The patient is positioned at the intersection of the two X-ray fan-beams which scan the patient vertically. A single scan will simultaneously produce both PA and lateral images of the patient. - the EOS system acquire simultaneously in 20 seconds an anteroposterior and lateral view in a standing patient with a radiation dose reduced 5 to 10 times - indications in the pediatric patient with scoliosis has been documented - however no clear indications in an adult population are documented - before implanting a new modality, we must prove this modality is not inferior to the standard of practice Purpose: - assess the EOS imaging system in adults with mechanical back pain, comparing it to Digital Radiographs Page 2 of 15
3 - evaluate if EOS is inferior or not to the actual standard of practice, Digital Radiographs - we focused on the lumbar discal height measurement Images for this section: Fig. 1: The EOS system. Page 3 of 15
4 Methods and Materials - we included 50 patients between 18 and 75 years old with low back pain for more than 3 months from the spinal rehabilitation department of our hospital - all patients had EOS and DR the same day - Digital Radiographs (DR) included : PA (de Seze) and lateral views of lumbar spine - EOS images included: frontal and lateral views of the entire spine - all images were reviewed by 2 readers, one senior rheumatologist and one senior MSK radiologist, assessing for: lumbar disc height of last 3 levels (mean of anterior and posterior height) - reproducibility was measured between the 2 readers and the 2 modalities with ICC and with a Bland Altman method - correlation between EOS and DR was assessed with Spearman correlation coefficient Images for this section: Page 4 of 15

10 Results - Visual quality of EOS and DR images was assessed and compared (Fig. 9). - Figure 10 shows the results for discal height at L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. Results are shown by reader and by modality. - Figure 11 shows the reproducibility results. - Figure 12 shows the correlation results.

14 Conclusion - advantages: EOS offers lower radiation doses, it produces simultaneously frontal and lateral views, without moving the patients, in a standing position - disadvantages: no angulation of XRay beam is possible, lower quality of images in obese patients with high BMI - measurements of discal height is reproducible for both modalities, however no direct comparison in the same patient is possible between the 2 modalities since there is a systematic measurement difference with higher height on DR - this difference is likely due to the absence of geometric distorsion and magnification with the EOS system - the lower radiation dose with EOS imaging favors its use in lower back pain patients assessment and follow-up References Charpak G.
