2024年8月28日 · Scoliosis (plural: scolioses) is defined as an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It is quite common in young individuals and is often idiopathic and asymptomatic. In some cases, however, it is the result of underlying structural or neurological abnormalities.

2023年11月23日 · Scoliosis radiography is useful in identifying the degree of the scoliosis curvature (major/minor or primary/compensatory curves), as well as observing progression to determine the best treatment method 1.

2023年3月23日 · The scoliosis posteroanterior/anteroposterior (PA/AP) view allows for visualizing the thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies of interest.

S-shape scoliosis with the upper curve convex to the right (apex at T8, measuring 65 degrees, moderate rotation) and the lower curve is convex to the left. Coronal balance remains neutral (C7 spinous process to S1 spinous process).

2023年3月23日 · The scoliosis erect lateral view is performed to visualize the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae of interest in profile.

2024年9月9日 · Coronal balance is one of the features that needs to be assessed on long spine radiographs obtained for spinal deformity, particularly scoliosis. It measures whether or not the upper spine is located over the midline (normal) or off to one side.

2024年3月13日 · The Cobb angle is the most widely used measurement to quantify the magnitude of spinal deformities, especially scoliosis, on plain radiographs. Scoliosis is a lateral spinal curvature with a Cobb angle of >10° 4. The Cobb angle technique can also assess the degree of kyphosis or lordosis in the sagittal plane 7. This article is focused on the ...

2024年9月9日 · Scoliosis lateral bending views are additional scoliosis projections accompanying the standard PA/AP and lateral views.

2021年9月14日 · Idiopathic scoliosis describes scoliosis that has no clinically or radiologically identifiable underlying cause. It is the dominant type of scoliosis with ~80% of all scolioses being idiopathic. Pathology. Idiopathic scoliosis can be classified by age into: adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (>11 years) juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (4-11 years)

Cobb angle measures spine curvature on x-ray and is the gold standard for determining the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. A Cobb angle <10 degrees is considered a variant of normal. Therefore, no follow-up is needed unless new findings …
