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 ...
Is Breast Asymmetry Present in Girls with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis?
(2014-09)
Study Design
Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Objectives
To characterize breast asymmetry (BA), as defined by breast volume difference, in girls with significant adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), using magnetic ...
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 ...
Patient-specific anisotropic model of human trunk based on MR data
(2015-01-09)
There are many ways to generate geometrical models for numerical simulation, and most of them start with a segmentation step to extract the boundaries of the regions of interest. This paper presents an algorithm to generate ...
Modified Large Margin Nearest Neighbor Metric Learning for Regression
(IEEE, 2014-03)
The main objective of this letter is to formulate a new approach of learning a Mahalanobis distance metric for nearest neighbor regression from a training sample set. We propose a modified version of the large margin nearest ...
Reliability of a quantitative clinical posture assessment tool among persons with idiopathic scoliosis
(Elsevier, 2012-03-01)
Objective
To determine overall, test–retest and inter-rater reliability of posture indices among persons with idiopathic scoliosis.
Design
A reliability study using two raters and two test sessions.
Setting
Tertiary ...
Evaluation of Reducibility of Trunk Asymmetry in Lateral Bending
(IOS Press, 2009)
The value of the lateral bending test is important in the assessment of spinal curve mobility and prediction of surgical outcome in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, radiographic bending tests ...
