Design, implementation and first results of a 3RD generation digital photogrammetric system from trunk surface assessment and scoliosis screening

چکیده
Background Scoliosis patients typically undergo numerous spinal radiographs and exposed to relatively high doses of ionizing radiation. This has raised concern regarding the effects of this repeated exposure. Additionally assessment of spinal deformities using surface topography of the back is currently considered essential. Digital Photogrammetry can contribute in non-invasive measurements of the patient’s back and 3D reconstruction of surface shape from digital photos.

The digital image contains efficient and useful information which enables measurement and data acquisition. One of the methods that facilitate measuring and interpreting objects, using the image solely, is close-range photogrammetry. Among the various fields of science, whenever a precise measurement is required, this approach can be applied. One of these fields is Medical Sciences that due to ...
متن کاملA Photogrammetric System for 3d Reconstruction of a Scoliotic Torso
Scoliosis is a deformity of the human spine most commonly encountered with children. Its early detection is vital for the patient’s treatment, so periodic examinations via X-rays are traditionally used to measure its progression. Since this can cause a significant dose of radiation leading to an increased risk of cancer, it is imperative to minimize the use of radiographs and introduce a non-in...

متن کاملCorrelation analysis between digital photography measurement of trunk deformity and self-image perception in patients with idiopathic scoliosis
Introduction Trunk deformity in idiopathic scoliosis has been fully analyzed using different surface metrics but all of them are expensive and cannot be widely used. Recently it has been suggested that some measures of trunk deformity obtained in digital photography can be useful in the assessment of trunk deformity. Some asymmetry measures have been proposed but the relationship between these ...
متن کاملSchool screening for scoliosis: can surface topography replace examination with scoliometer?
BACKGROUND Clinical examination with the use of scoliometer is a basic method for scoliosis detection in school screening programs. Surface topography (ST) enables three-dimensional back assessment, however it has not been adopted for the purpose of scoliosis screening yet. The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of ST for scoliosis screening. METHODS 996 girls aged 9 to 13 yea...
