Summary

This pilot study uses a special MRI scan to measure water movement in the spinal discs of children aged 8 to 16, both with and without scoliosis. The goal is to learn more about how the discs behave in scoliosis, which may help explain why the condition develops. The study involves 60 children and adds only a few extra minutes to a standard MRI.
