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...

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...

Guided waves have been successfully used to characterize long bone properties, however the layer of soft tissue covering bone must be considered for guided wave technology to be clinically viable. We analyzed the impact of soft tissue through in vitro experiments on a cortical bone plate with and...
