Patient-specific model of a scoliotic torso for surgical planning
(2013-03)
A method for the construction of a patient-specific model of a scoliotic torso for surgical planning via inter- patient registration is presented. Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of a generic model are registered to surface ...
Multimodal image registration of the scoliotic torso for surgical planning
(2013-12)
Background
This paper presents a method that registers MRIs acquired in prone position, with surface topography (TP) and X-ray reconstructions acquired in standing position, in order to obtain a 3D representation of a ...
Scoliosis Follow-Up Using Noninvasive Trunk Surface Acquisition
(2013-03-13)
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a musculoskeletal pathology. It is a complex spinal curvature in a 3-D space that also affects the appearance of the trunk. The clinical follow-up of AIS is decisive for its management. ...
Differences in Standing and Sitting Postures of Youth with Idiopathic Scoliosis from Quantitative Analysis of Digital Photographs
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01-08)
The objective of this study was to explore whether differences in standing and sitting postures of youth with idiopathic scoliosis could be detected from quantitative analysis of digital photographs. Standing and sitting ...
Multimodal image fusion of anatomical structures for diagnosis, therapy planning and assistance
(IEEE, 2013-05-12)
This paper provides an overview of work done in recent years by our research group to fuse multimodal images of the trunk of patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) treated at Sainte-Justine University Hospital ...
Personalized 3D reconstruction of the rib cage for clinical assessment of trunk deformities
(2013-11-01)
Scoliosis is a 3D deformity of the spine and rib cage. Extensive validation of 3D reconstruction methods of the spine from biplanar radiography has already been published. In this article, we propose a novel method to ...
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 ...
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 ...
