Predicting curve progression for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using random forest model.
PLoS ONE, 2022 BackgroundAdolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity characterized by coronal curvature and rotational deformity. Predicting curve progression is important for the selection and timing of treatment.

Coronal plane segmental flexibility in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis assessed by fulcrum-bending radiographs [PDF]
, 2018 Knowledge about segmental flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is crucial for a better biomechanical understanding, particularly for the development of fusionless, growth-guiding techniques. Currently, there is lack of data in this field.

A Novel Computer-Aided Method to Evaluate Scoliosis Curvature using Polynomial Math Function [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2019 Background: Scoliosis is a health problem that causes a side-to-side curvature in the spine. The curvature may have an “S” or “C” shape. To evaluate scoliosis, the Cobb angle has been commonly used. However, digital image processing allows the Cobb angle
