The variability in location of the most prominent points on the posterior torso of those without abnormal surface topography, those with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and those with Scheuermann's Kyphosis: a seven year longitudinal analysis

“…The 3D plots (Figures 2–4) show that there is an association between the location of the most prominent points and the shape of the spine, in that a diagnosis of AIS or SK changes the location in comparison to those without abnormal surface topography, but this link is not clear. In AIS, characterised by relative hypokyphosis, scoliosis and vertebral body rotation, previous studies using cross sectional imaging (CT or MRI) and measures of spinal or torso deformity have not shown a strong association (Lotfi et al, 2020; Thulbourne & Gillespie, 1976). Similar work in SK is lacking.…”

Internalization of the Western Standard of Beauty and Body Satisfaction: Evaluation Utilizing COPS and SATAQ-3 Questionnaires among Girls with Scoliosis

“…Only a standard, radiographic assessment was utilized. Meanwhile, we must bear in mind that radiographs do not provide direct information about individuals’ body shapes with AIS [ 35 ]. Since rib hump magnitude is not well correlated to radiological features, this would explain the poor correlation between cosmetic and radiological features, as indicated in our study.…”

Combining 3D Structured Light Imaging and Spine X-ray Data Improves Visualization of the Spinous Lines in the Scoliotic Spine

“…Studies using 3D ST have often been used to find a measurement method that produces results parallel to the Cobb angle measured by conventional radiography [37,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Typically, the results of this approach are less than moderately accurate due to the different measures.…”

“…The use of 3D ST also allows analysis of scoliotic deformity, chest deformities including funnel chest, posture, the kyphotic angle of the spine, and back shape, and the detection of stimulated back muscle contractions. Automatic localization of anatomical landmarks on the dorsal surface was proposed by Drerup and Hierholzer in 1987 [39] using calculations from rasterstereographic surface measurements and was continued by other researchers [34,42,45,[69][70][71]. The surface curvature drawn from the image is related to the previously described anatomical osteologic prominencies [31,53].…”
