Authors' recommendations:
The assessment finds that radiation dose is considerably lower with EOS X-ray imaging than standard X-ray, but the long-term health benefits from the reduced radiation exposure were very small. There was no data on other potential patient health benefits arising from the nature or quality of the EOS image. Estimates of patient throughput at national level suggested that EOS would not be cost-effective, given the high cost of the EOS system.
