Cobb Angle Measurement of Scoliosis with Reduced Variability
Cobb angle, which is a measure of spinal curvature, is the standard method for quantifying the magnitude of Scoliosis, related to spinal deformity in orthopedics. Determining the Cobb angle through manual process is subject to human errors. In this work, we propose a methodology to measure the magnitude of Cobb angle, which appreciably reduces the variability related to its measurement, compare...
متن کاملCobb Angle Measurement of Scoliosis Using Computer Measurement of Digitally Acquired Radiographs-Intraobserver and Interobserver Variability
STUDY DESIGN We evaluated computer assisted digital measurement of radiographic parameters in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. PURPOSE To assess the reliability of digital measurements. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Various authors analyzed scoliotic deformities by conventional radiographs, but very few studies have addressed the reliability of digital radiographic measurement using computer so...
متن کاملScoliosis: discs and vertebrae. Cobb angle: friend or foe?
Introduction Both vertebral and disc deformity contribute to scoliosis deformity, but the Cobb angle measures both, without distinguishing their relative magnitudes, which are approximately equal. (The disc deformity is greater in the lumbar region than in the thoracic.) Most attention has been given to the vertebral deformity, which apparently develops because of growth disturbance, and some s...
متن کاملCobb Angle Quantification for Scoliosis using Image Processing Techniques
Measurement of Cobb angle is the standard technique used for scoliosis assessment. The challenging task in computerized method lies in totally automating the method of curvature measurement from digital X-ray images. In this paper we presented a method which automatically measures the Cobb angle from radiographs after selection of the end vertebrae of the curve. The image processing methods use...
متن کاملEffects of Specific Schroth Exercises on Cobb Angle, Flexibility, and Functional Capacity of Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis
Background and Objective:Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is one of the complex and common deformities of the spine. It is a condition that can cause a lot of pain and discomfort for individuals and has consequences and complications. There are different exercises and approaches for correction of this deformity, such as Schroth exercise. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to investiga...
