Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the validity of Scolioscan for quantitative assessment of curve severity in scoliosis using x-ray radiographs as the gold standard.

Conditions

  • Scoliosis

Interventions

OTHER

Scolioscan (Ultrasound imaging system)

To assess the scoliotic patient, a 3D ultrasound imaging system (the Scolioscan) was developed. The system composes of an ultrasound scanner with a linear probe, a frame structure, an electromagnetic spatial sensing device and a dedicated PC program for imaging and data collection, processing, visualization, analysis, and assessment. The spatial sensor was attached to the ultrasound probe for spatial information collection and calibration. The Scolioscan will generate ultrasound images of the spine for quantitative assessment of the curve deformity in terms of Cobb angles.
