Reliability of automated topographic measurements for spine deformity.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study introduces a novel surface-topographic scanning system capable of automatically generating a suite of objective measurements to characterize torso shape.

Research question

what is the reliability of the proposed system for measurement of trunk alignment parameters in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and controls?

Methods

Forty-six adolescents (26 with AIS and 20 controls) were recruited for a prospective reliability study. A series of angular, volumetric, and area measures were computed from topographic scans in each of three clinically relevant poses using a fully automated processing pipeline. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC(2,1)) were computed within (intra-) and between (inter-) raters. Measurements were also performe
