Validity and Reliability of Ultrasound Imaging for Measuring Coronal and Sagittal Angles in Idiopathic Scoliosis

NCT06510049 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Summary

Patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS), especially children and adolescents, require regular follow-up evaluations. Ultrasound imaging offers a reliable, radiation-free method for assessing spinal curvatures in the coronal and sagittal planes. While manual labeling in traditional ultrasound is error-prone, automated labeling reduces inaccuracies but still needs further validation, particularly in the sagittal plane. This study compared three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound assessments with conventional X-ray images--the clinical gold standard. And it is aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of ultrasound measurements-Ultrasound Curve Angle (UCA) and Ultrasound Lamellar Angle (USLA)-against established radiographic benchmarks like Cobb's angle, Thoracic Kyphosis (TK), and Lumbar Lordosis (LL).
