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 ...
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) ...
