Ultrasound for Scoliosis Diagnostic Evaluation

NCT03222739 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2023-02-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Scoliosis is a complex 3-dimensional deformity of the spine. It may occur at any time throughout growth and development and is typically detected through x-ray imaging. Although effective at visualizing a curve, x-ray imaging is costly and may expose children to potentially harmful ionizing radiation. This is a 30 patient study to evaluate the reliability of ultrasound, an imaging technique without radiation, to effectively measure scoliosis deformities compared to the gold-standard of x-ray.

Conditions

  • Scoliosis Idiopathic
  • Scoliosis; Juvenile

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound

An industry standard ultrasound will be fitted with a self-tracking probe to track along the spine. The ultrasound will be performed three (3) times along the spine at initial consultation for scoliosis.
