The comparison and validity and reliability study of bilateral innominate vertical length measurements using innovative digital radiographic imaging software in assessing scoliotic leg length discrepancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background information The role of leg length discrepancy (LLD) has been implicated in certain types of scoliosis [1]. Scoliotic LLD has been suggested as a result of rotation of the innominate bones [2]. However, the role of innominate vertical lengths (IVLs) as a predisposing factor for scoliosis is not clear. The reliability of radiographic measurements may reveal whether IVL can be used as a factor for clinical assessment.

Reliability and Validity of Dental Measurements Made on Digital and Stone Orthodontic Models
Introduction: A study model is a precise three dimensional replica of patient’s dentition and plays an important role in treatment planning. Many digital multi-media applications have become available to the clinician and his or her staff to facilitate standard procedures in practice and management. The aim of this study is to evaluate reliability and validity of dental measurement made on dig...

The purpose of this study was to compare MRI scanogram with traditional radiographic methods for measurement of limb length. The authors hypothesized that MRI scanogram would be as reliable and accurate as radiographic scanogram in measurement of limb length without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. Twelve cadaveric femurs were measured using AP conventional radiographic scanogram, CT sc...

Methods Twenty adolescents with scoliotic curvatures were chosen to participate in the study based on convenience, without predilection for gender, age, type or location. Images of the curvatures were examined by 15 trained observers to estimate the Cobb angle variability, as well as intraand inter-observer variations. Each image was measured three times at a minimum interval of one week betwee...

Background and Aim: Accurate bone measurements are essential to determine the optimal size and length of dental implants. The magnification factor of radiographic images may vary with the imaging technique used. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of linear tomography and panoramic radiography in vertical measurements, as well as the accuracy of linear tomography in mandibular...
