Could a Lying-Down scan replace standing X-Rays for scoliosis?
NCT ID NCT06512038
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special type of X-ray called DXA, taken while lying down, can measure spine curves as well as standard standing X-rays in people with scoliosis. About 20 participants will have both types of images taken, and researchers will compare the results and ask patients which method they prefer. The goal is to see if DXA can help design better braces and reduce radiation exposure.
