No appointment, no referral, no insurance. A full-body standing EOS scan, about 60 seconds, and a printed measurement report: the angles of your spine and pelvis, hip and knee alignment, leg-length difference. You leave with your images to take to your own surgeon, chiropractor or doctor, here or out of town.

Everything in the $99 scan, plus a one-on-one visit where Dr. Vemuri looks at the whole image with you in the room, including anything the measurements don't cover, and tells you what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Self-pay, not billed to insurance.

A curve has to be measured standing, as a whole, and often more than once. EOS was built for exactly that.

When it isn't clear whether the back, the hip or the knee is driving the pain, one standing image of all three is the fastest way to find out.

Teens being followed for a curve, adults after spine surgery, anyone whose care means imaging again and again. The lower dose is the reason.

Yes. It uses X-rays, taken from the front and the side at the same time while you stand, and it covers your whole body in one pass. According to the manufacturer, the dose is about 80% lower than a conventional X-ray series of the same area.

The $99 scan is walk-in: the scan plus a printed measurement report. It is not a radiology report, and nobody reviews the images for you. The $299 option adds a visit where Dr. Vemuri goes over the images with you in the room. Both are self-pay and are not billed to insurance. Call (502) 242-6370 if you want to check whether your insurance covers EOS imaging instead.

No. You can walk in for the $99 scan without a referral or an appointment; Dr. Vemuri's office provides the order for the X-ray. No insurance is involved: it is a cash-pay service. If you want imaging billed to insurance instead, your plan may require a referral. Call and we will tell you.

EOS is widely used to follow scoliosis in young people because the dose is low and the curve can be measured standing, as a whole. Your child's pediatrician or orthopedist can tell you whether it is the right test for them.

Yes, a measurement report. Every $99 scan comes with a printed sheet of the angles and lengths the software measures on your spine, pelvis, hips, knees and legs, plus the images. It is not a radiology report. The $299 option adds a visit where Dr. Vemuri reviews the images with you and explains what they show.

The $99 report is measurements only. The software does not look for other problems, and nobody reviews the images unless you book the $299 visit or take them to your own doctor. At the visit, Dr. Vemuri looks at the whole image, from neck to knees, and tells you what he sees.

No. It is imaging plus a printed sheet of measurements, such as the angles of your spine and pelvis and the difference in your leg lengths. A diagnosis needs an exam and a conversation about your symptoms, which is what the $299 visit is for. The images and measurements are yours to share with any doctor.
