Published in Medical Imaging Business Week, June 19th, 2008
A report, 'A study of the radiologic predictors of curve flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis,' is newly published data in Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques. "A study of flexibility of 101 idiopathic scoliosis antero-posterior radiographs. To discover if there are any parameters on plain antero-posterior radiographs that can predict the flexibility of scoliosis curves," scientists in the United Kingdom report.
"Previously the flexibility index, generated from fulcrum bending x-rays, has been shown to be an accurate measure of curve stiffness. Five postulated predictors of flexibility, measured on 101 immediate preoperative scoliosis radiographs,...
