The Ortelius800 is a non-invasive radiation-free system for early diagnosis and monitoring of spinal deformities, such as scoliosis and kyphosis. In a brief concise examination of less than one minute this user-friendly system provides an accurate graphical image of the spine, displaying the calculated angle of deformity.

Young scoliosis patients typically undergo three to four yearly sessions of full-lenght spinal x-rays to monitor progress. However, spinal x-rays emit levels of radiation that are significantly higher than the standard chest plate, while repeated x-ray exposure has been linked to an increased risk of breast, bone and thyroid cancer. The innovative technology of the Ortelius800 allows for safe diagnosis and frequent follow-up of young patients undergoing long-term treatment without exposing them to unnecessary risk.

The Ortelius800 saves both valuable time and resources. The procedure is performed by a single examiner and provides immediate results, eliminating the need for x-ray referral and a protracted diagnostic process, This stand-alone system requires no costly film or other disposables. The quick and efficient Ortelius800 is ideal for screening large patient populations such as children within the school system for whom early diagnosis of spinal deformity is crucial.

Features:

• Radiation-free: Significantly reduces the need for x-rays and allows for more frequent monitoring

• 3D-image display: Provides posterior-anterior (PA) and lateral views simultaneously and aids in more accurate prognosis

• User-friendly: Saves time and resources and enable wide range of end users

• Integral database: Compiles patient log of consecutive examinations and provides user-friendly follow-up tools

• Sophisticated software: Automatic calculation of Cobb angle, digital x-ray display and analysis for comparison with Ortelius800 scans
