Qscan Radiology Clinics is proud to introduce a new low-dose, full-body imaging service at Red Hill, using advanced EOSedge technology. This innovative system provides a clearer, more accurate view of your bones, joints and alignment in a natural standing position, helping your doctor better understand how your body functions in real life, all in a single scan.
What is Full-Body, Weight-Bearing Imaging?
This type of imaging captures your entire skeleton in a natural, upright position, allowing clinicians to assess how different parts of your body work together. Unlike traditional x-rays, which often focus on one area at a time, this approach provides a complete picture of posture, alignment and biomechanics in one scan.

Why Might You Need This Type of Imaging?
Your doctor may recommend this scan if they need a clearer understanding of how your body aligns and moves as a whole.
It is commonly used for:
• Back and spinal pain
• Scoliosis (especially in children and adolescents)
• Posture and alignment concerns
• Hip, knee and lower limb issues
• Leg length differences
• Pre- and post-surgical planning
This is particularly useful when multiple joints or areas may be contributing to your symptoms.
Key Benefits for Patients
This advanced imaging technology has been designed to improve both accuracy and safety.
What this means for you:
• One scan, full-body view – no need for multiple images
• Up to 5x lower radiation dose compared to standard x-rays
• Even lower dose options for patients needing ongoing monitoring (such as scoliosis)
• Fast scan time – completed in seconds
• More accurate results – no image stitching or distortion
• Comfortable experience – open design, no enclosed tunnel
For many patients, this means a quicker, safer and more reassuring experience.
Why Reducing Radiation Matters
For some conditions, imaging may be needed more than once over time.
• Patients with scoliosis may require regular scans throughout treatment
• Repeated imaging can increase cumulative radiation exposure
This technology is designed to minimise that exposure, while still providing the high-quality images your doctor needs to make informed decisions.
How Is This Different from a Standard X-ray?
| Feature | EOSedge (Qscan Red Hill) | Standard X-ray |
| Full-body imaging | ✔ | Limited |
| Radiation dose | Up to 5x lower | Standard |
| Micro dose option | ✔ (up to 28x lower) | ✖ |
| Scan time | < 15 seconds | Variable |

By capturing the body in a natural, weight-bearing position, this scan provides insights that traditional imaging may miss.
