Kyphosis Evaluation Using SPINESCAN®
Kyphosis Evaluation Using SPINESCAN®
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of SPINESCAN® with standard lateral
 x-rays of the spine in patients monitored for kyphosis.
Kyphosis is usually a developmental deformity of the spine in the sagittal plane. Once
 diagnosed, serial X-rays are used for followup. These are usually required at yearly
 intervals.

 SPINESCAN® is a computerized digital inclinometer, design for evaluating angular spine
 deformities.

 Patients examined in the spine clinic with recent X-rays will be examined with SPINESCAN® and
 it's results compared with the classical radiological assessment.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients examined in scoliosis clinic for kyphosis with recent lateral spine X-rays.

 -  Age: 7 years old and above.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Less than 7 years old.

 -  No informed consent.
