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.
