Summary

This study looked at whether a 3D body scanner (surface topography) can measure scoliosis curves as accurately as standard X-rays in children aged 10 to 13. The goal is to see if the scanner can be used for monitoring, potentially reducing the need for repeated X-rays and radiation exposure. The study involved 125 children with mild to moderate scoliosis.
