The deformity of idiopathic scoliosis made visible by computer graphics.

چکیده
We present a method of visualising spinal deformities in three dimensions using conventional radiographs and computer graphics. The shape of the spinal column can be determined from the anteroposterior and lateral radiographs and displayed in any projection. In patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the fundamental lesion, an abnormal lordosis, can be demonstrated without the need for additional views. The method is applicable to other spinal deformities and may help to elucidate their three-dimensional shape.

Investigation of 3-dimensional radiographic imaging as treated with Hyu Spinal corrective technique
Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common, costly, and progressive spinal deformity that affects 3-dimensional (3D) neuromuscular control of the axial spinal musculature. Conventional studies of spinal corrective techniques have shown improvements in cardiopulmonary function, strength, mobility, pain and body image. Nevertheless, the majority of AIS studies predominantly focu...

Introduction: The differential diagnosis of idiopathic and syringomyelia associated scoliosis is important because corrective surgery for scoliosis associated with syringomyelia prior to management of syringomyelia can be dangerous. There are important imaging indicators for diagnosis of syringomyelia associated with scoliosis. A few of these indicators have been assessed in our study. Methods...
متن کاملEvaluation of Patient Outcome and Satisfaction after Surgical Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Scoliosis Research Society-30
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may lead to physical and mental problems. It also can adversely affect patient satisfaction and the quality of life. In this study, we assessed the outcomes and satisfaction rate after surgical treatment of AIS using scoliosis research society-30 questionnaire (SRS-30). Methods: We enrolled 135 patients with AIS undergoing corrective surgery...
متن کاملFocus On Classification of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Scoliosis Research Society defined scoliosis deformity as a lateral curvature of the spine on a radiograph of the spine taken in standing position.1 The degree of the curve is measured as the angle between the most inclined vertebral end-plates at each end of the curve (the Cobb angle). There are many causes of scoliosis deformity. It can be structural due to spinal pathologies or non-structura...
متن کاملTHE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY A Family Survey
The diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis is made after other known causes of the deformity have been excluded. This paper does not deal with scoliosis resulting from vertebral anomalies, nor with that associated with conditions of known genetic etiology, such as neurofibromatosis, Marfan’s syndrome or muscular dystrophy. Also, the diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis is only made when the curve is st...
