An EOS scan is a cutting-edge imaging technology that captures full-body 2D and 3D images of the skeleton while you are standing. It is especially valuable for assessing:
- Spinal conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis
- Hip and knee alignment in patients with joint problems or before joint replacement surgery
- Postural balance and musculoskeletal disorders
- Children and young people requiring repeat imaging, due to its very low radiation exposure
- EOS scans use up to nine times less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them safer for patients who require regular monitoring.

EOS Scans FAQs
What is an EOS scan?
An EOS scan is a special type of medical imaging that captures full-body, weight-bearing images of your skeleton in both 2D and 3D. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring spinal conditions, joint problems, and musculoskeletal alignment.
How is an EOS scan different from a standard X-ray?
Unlike traditional X-rays, EOS scans allow you to be scanned while standing or sitting, so your posture and natural weight-bearing position are taken into account. EOS also uses significantly lower radiation doses—up to nine times less—making it safer for patients who need repeat imaging.
What conditions can an EOS scan help diagnose?
- EOS scans are often recommended for:
- Spinal conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis
- Hip and knee alignment issues, including pre-surgical assessments
- Postural balance and gait disorders
- Monitoring growth and musculoskeletal development in children
Is an EOS scan safe?
Yes. An EOS scan uses very low levels of radiation—much less than a traditional X-ray. This makes it especially safe for children, young people, and patients who require regular monitoring over time.
How long does an EOS scan take?
The scan itself usually takes 10–20 minutes. You’ll be asked to stand or sit still inside the EOS scanner while the images are taken. It is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure.
Do I need a referral for a private EOS scan?
Yes. To book a private EOS scan, you’ll need a referral from your GP or consultant. This ensures that the correct scan is carried out and that results are sent back to your clinician for review.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
At Royal Devon Private Healthcare, private EOS scan appointments are often available within just a few days. Evening or weekend appointments are also available
When will I get my EOS scan results?
Your EOS images will be reviewed by an experienced NHS consultant radiologist. Results are usually available within 7–10 working days and will be sent directly to your referring clinician.
