System detects early stages of idiopathic scoliosis with 3D scans: 4 insights

Spinal Tech

Japan-based Hokkaido University researchers created a new symmetry-recognition system for the back, according to Medical Express.

Here are four insights:

 

1. The system is able to identify early stages of idiopathic scoliosis.

 

2. Researchers developed the system to three-dimensionally measure the asymmetry on a person's back.

 

3. The system conducts scans on various parts of the back, offering evaluation of the back from any angle in a few seconds.

 

4. Next steps involve testing the device in clinical settings.
