The prospective study, financed by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the FRSQ, involved 134 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The findings demonstrated that the 3D morphological parameters of the spine obtained with EOS can be used to distinguish between progressive scoliosis and non-progressive scoliosis from the point of the first medical visit. Such a distinction is not possible on the basis of two-dimensional parameters.
The data was presented at the 47th annual conference of the Scoliosis Research Society.
