چکیده

Recent advances in imaging technology have resulted in a better understanding of the complexities of the scoliotic spine. Plain radiography remains the usual method of measuring curvature progression, but use of multiplanar imaging techniques, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance, have resulted in a greater understanding of the three dimensional nature of scoliosis and enabled underlying abnormalities to be detected with confidence.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a structural lateral curvature of the spine with a rotatory component. Imaging in scoliosis is important. Most cases of scoliosis are idiopathic, and imaging is used routinely in monitoring the changes of the deformity that take place during growth. Imaging is also crucial in determining the underlying etiology in non-idiopathic cases of scoliosis and is used in pre- and postoperat...

Three-dimensional imaging for the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents.

Scoliosis is not simply a lateral deviation of the spine but is a complex deformity of the entire trunk. Recent advances in 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging have improved our understanding of the 3-D nature of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and have resulted in the development of a new generation of spinal instrumentation. Stereophotogrammetry, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging ...
