Application of Ultrasound to Guide Pedicle Screw Insertion during Scoliosis Surgery: a Feasibility Study
DownloadSpring 2011
This thesis presents an experimental study of a bovine vertebra using transmission and pulse-echo methods and a preliminary investigation to guide a screw insertion into a pedicle using TomoScan phased array unit. The results show the cancellous bone has higher attenuation than the cortical bone...

Application of ultrasound to measure coronal curvature and vertebral rotation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
DownloadFall 2014
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity occurring during adolescence with no known causes. Both the coronal curvature and vertebral axial rotation (VAR) are important parameters to assess the severity, predict the progression and evaluate the outcomes of...

Fall 2014
Optical imaging has long been a gold standard for medical imaging. However, due to the high optical scattering in tissues, it has not been possible to image deeper than a few wavelengths with a useful resolution. Photoacoustic imaging - the use of short-pulsed lasers to induce an ultrasound...

Computer Simulation of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications of Ultrasound Propagation in Biological Tissues
DownloadFall 2015
Ultrasound has been widely utilized in diagnostic and therapeutic clinical practices. Further development of the application of ultrasound in the clinical practices requires comprehensive understanding of the physics of ultrasound propagation in biological tissues. In this research, computer...

Development of a Detection Model for Curve Progression in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis
DownloadSpring 2022
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) structural spinal disorder recognized by lateral curvatures. The routine for monitoring of AIS is taking an X-ray every six months to check the curve severity and curve progression. Taking repetitive radiographs is not desirable...

EMG Measurement of the fatigability of paraspinal muscles of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
DownloadFall 2014
This thesis aimed to address two separate questions, 1) Are current exercise approaches to scoliosis based on a strong foundation in the literature? And 2) Do the paraspinal muscles of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) differ in endurance properties from controls? The first...
