We present a method of visualising spinal deformities in three dimensions using
conventional radiographs and computer graphics. The shape of the spinal column can be …

Study Design. A geometric analysis of computerized three-dimensional (3-D)
reconstructions of the spine of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Objectives. To analyze …

Abstract In 1983 Howard King presented his classification system for adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS) based on the experience with Harrington rod instrumentation. Curves were …

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 …

A computerized radiographic method is described for assessing scoliosis. Three
radiographs of the spine are exposed using a specially constructed device to fix the …

The authors measured and compared the pre-, intra-, and postoperative three-dimensional
shape of the spine during corrective surgery to quantify the specific contribution of …

Stereoradiography is a well known method to obtain 3D images of the spine and the thorax.
The main algorithm used is the DLT, which is a very general one yielding to 11 implicit …

Nowadays, conventional X-ray radiographs are still the images of choice for evaluating
spinal deformaties such as scoliosis. However, digital translation reconstruction gives easy …

With the introduction of direct digital radiography into clinical practice, there are
opportunities to provide faster and more reliable ways of performing traditional radiological …
