Can we come after school?
Yes. Walk in Monday to Thursday between 8 am and 4 pm, or Friday between 8 am and 1 pm, at 6420 New Dutchmans Pkwy, Suite 160. No appointment. The scan takes about 60 seconds and the whole visit is a few minutes.
How much less radiation is it?
According to the manufacturer, an EOS scan uses about 80% less radiation than a conventional X-ray series of the same area. Scoliosis is followed over years of growth, often with repeat X-rays, and children are more sensitive to radiation than adults, so a lower dose per scan matters.
Is the image good enough to track the curve?
The scan images the whole spine standing, front and side at once, and the software measures the curve (the Cobb angle) and the alignment of the spine and pelvis. Those measurements are printed for you to take to your child's specialist, along with the images.
Do we need a referral?
No. Dr. Vemuri's office provides the order for the X-ray. If your child's specialist has written an order, bring it, so the scan matches what they asked for.
Does this replace our scoliosis specialist?
No. miiSpine provides the low-dose scan and the measurements. Your child stays with the doctor managing the scoliosis, who decides what the numbers mean and what to do next. Bring the sheet to the next appointment or send it ahead.

How often should we scan?
That is your child's specialist's call, based on age, growth and the size of the curve. We do not set the interval; we make each scan a lower-dose one.
What does it cost?
$99 self-pay for the scan and the printed measurement sheet. It is not billed to insurance. Teens and adults who want Dr. Vemuri to go over the images with them can book the scan plus a visit for $299.
What do we leave with?
The images and a printed sheet of the measurements the scanner's software makes: the Cobb angle, the alignment of the spine and pelvis, and any difference in leg length. It is not a radiology report.
What if the scan shows something unexpected?
The $99 sheet 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. Your child's specialist will look at the images you bring.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. The $99 scan is imaging plus a printed sheet of measurements made by the scanner's software. It is not a radiology report, and nobody reviews the images for you at that price. Diagnosis and treatment decisions belong to your child's specialist, or to Dr. Vemuri at a $299 visit.
This content is for general information and isn't a substitute for a medical evaluation. Every spine is different. Talk to your child's doctor or a spine specialist about their specific situation. The $99 scan provides upright full-spine images and a software-generated sheet of alignment measurements; it is not a radiology report and not a diagnosis, and the images are not reviewed by a physician unless you book a visit. The $299 visit includes a consultation with Dr. Vemuri. Both are self-pay and are not billed to insurance. Radiation figures are the manufacturer's, for EOS imaging compared with conventional X-ray. Not a substitute for emergency care: if your child has severe or sudden symptoms, seek medical attention.
