Abstract: Most of the radiographic process measures evaluated in this study demonstrated good or excellent reliability. The reliability of measuring the angulation of the disc below the LIV, the apical Nash-Moe rotation, and Risser grading was decreased relative to other measures. The reliability of measuring T2-T5 regional kyphosis was disappointing and poor. With regards to the other 13 measures assessed, our findings support the use of these process measures obtained by experienced deformity surgeons via manual measu… Show more

“…7 In addition, previous reports and our own observations showed that there are important variations in Cobb's angle measurements of up to 51 among different physicians. 18,19 This study shows the mapping of a new locus for dominant IS in a large family (F2) either on 5q13-q14 or on 3q11-q13. Indeed, in this family, the observed Z max reached the expected Z max value of 3.01 on both genomic locations.…”

“…These methods emerged as an alternative to the radiographic evaluation method as it reduces exposure of patients who have scoliosis to excessive radiation, it is easier to evaluate in the clinic and it has a reduced cost, when compared to radiographic examination. Examples of these non-radiographic methods are the Moiré photograph [4][5][6] , the Quantec System 7 , the electric goniometer 8 and the scoliometer 2,3,[9][10][11][12][13][14] .…”

“…Recent studies [4,5,8,14,18] demonstrate computer-assisted methods to reduce technical errors and the need for memorization of measurement and classification procedures. However, the manual technique is routinely used in many surgical teams because of its simplicity and cost [10,11]. In our institution, imaging technique's evolution from 30 · 90 cm plain-films to size-reduced digitized films was suspected to affect the clarity of the images and subsequent interpretation of spine radiographs.…”

“…Documented coronal plane deformity progression in scoliosis as reflected by Cobb angle progression beyond defined thresholds directs treatment. Cobb angle is usually measured from erect radiographs and measurement variability associated with this technique has been reported for manual measurement of plain radiographs [6,10,11,14] and computer-based measurement of digitized radiographs [5,8,18]. Reduction of digitized image output size could impact image quality.…”
