At Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital, advanced technology is transforming pediatric orthopedic care. The EOS Imaging System delivers ultra-low-dose, full-body 2D and 3D scans in under 20 seconds, offering a safer alternative to traditional X-rays with three times less radiation. EOS scans are performed while children stand comfortably, minimizing anxiety and avoiding intimidating machines and long waits. The system produces highly detailed images, enabling orthopedic specialists to create precise, individualized treatment plans.
To enhance the patient experience, Child Life Specialists use virtual reality (VR) goggles to distract children during tests and procedures. These goggles immerse young patients in virtual worlds or games, easing discomfort, reducing fear, and boosting spirits empowering children to feel in control.
By combining high-tech imaging and immersive distraction, Miller Children’s & Women’s offers peace of mind and a positive outlook for families facing orthopedic challenges.
