No-Radiation scoliosis test could spare kids unnecessary X-Rays
NCT ID NCT07490886
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a radiation-free ultrasound system called Scolioscan can accurately screen for scoliosis in school children. Researchers will compare ultrasound results with standard X-rays in 160 children referred for screening. If the ultrasound proves reliable, it could reduce the number of unnecessary X-rays children are exposed to during scoliosis checks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Scolioscan ultrasound imaging system
What this could lead to
If proven accurate, ultrasound could replace X-rays for initial scoliosis screening, reducing radiation exposure for children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (160 participants) focused on accuracy, not treatment. Ultrasound may not detect all cases, and X-rays may still be needed for confirmation.
