Prediction of scoliosis curve type based on the analysis of trunk surface topography
(2010-04)
Scoliosis treatment strategy is generally chosen according to the severity and type of the spinal curve. Currently, the curve type is determined from X-rays whose acquisition can be harmful for the patient. We propose in ...
Towards Non Invasive Diagnosis of Scoliosis Using Semi-supervised Learning Approach
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010)
In this paper, a new methodology for the prediction of scoliosis curve types from non invasive acquisitions of the back surface of the trunk is proposed. One hundred and fifty-nine scoliosis patients had their back surface ...
Noninvasive Clinical Assessment of Trunk Deformities Associated With Scoliosis
(2013-03-07)
Besides the spinal deformity, scoliosis modifies notably the general appearance of the trunk resulting in trunk rotation, imbalance, and asymmetries that constitutes patients' major concern. Existing classifications of ...
A novel method for the 3-D reconstruction of scoliotic ribs from frontal and lateral radiographs
(2009-09-29)
Among the external manifestations of scoliosis, the rib hump, which is associated with the ribs' deformities and rotations, constitutes the most disturbing aspect of the scoliotic deformity for patients. A personalized 3-D ...
Non-invasive quantitative assessment of scoliosis spinal surgery outcome
(2013-03-29)
Improving the appearance of the trunk is an important goal of scoliosis surgical treatment, mainly in patients' eyes. Unfortunately, existing methods for assessing postoperative trunk appearance are rather subjective as ...
Multilevel Analysis of Trunk Surface Measurements for Noninvasive Assessment of Scoliosis Deformities
(2012-08-01)
Study Design. Reliability study.
Objectives. To assess between-acquisition reliability of new multilevel trunk cross sections measurements, in order to define what is a real change when comparing 2 trunk surface ...
Changes in Trunk Appearance After Scoliosis Spinal Surgery and Their Relation to Changes in Spinal Measurements
(2015-11-01)
Study Design
Retrospective study of surgical outcome.
Objectives
To evaluate quantitatively the changes in trunk surface deformities after scoliosis spinal surgery in Lenke 1A adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) ...
