| Description | Scoliosis represents three-dimensional spinal deformity with involvement in frontal sagittal and axial planes. Early diagnosis of these deformities is essential in order to protect spine from development of scoliotic deformity and to stabilize it till the end of the growing period. Imaging methods became the most important examination of the scoliosis. Radiograms in antero-posterior and lateral views with or without inclination are focused to the centrál point of the spine curves. Grading of scoliosis is based on Cobb's angle measurement on antero-posterior view, the sagittal balance on lateral views according to Duval-Beaupére with T9 and sagittal tilt measurement. Apical vertebral rotation is measured according to Nash and Moe or according to Perdriolle. Recently spiral CT is also utilized. The anatomy of spinal canal is assessed most frequently using magnetic resonance imaging. New radiation protective approach to scoliosis assessment might be electromagnetic method. |
