Summary

This study looked at whether a 3D body scanner (surface topography) can accurately measure scoliosis curves in children aged 10-13, compared to the standard X-ray method. 125 children with mild scoliosis participated. The goal was to see if the scanner could be a safe, radiation-free way to monitor the condition over time.
