New study tests Radiation-Free scoliosis monitoring for kids
NCT ID NCT02531945
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 10-13. The goal is to reduce the need for repeated X-rays, which expose young patients to radiation. Researchers compared the two methods in 125 children with mild to moderate scoliosis.
