“…Pose-dependent measures ATR/BSR Max § Trunk surface rotation is the angle of the line lying tangent to the back surface [ 31 , 32 ] in reference to either (a) floor plane for Adam’s bend scans, or (b) the patient’s coronal plane for upright postures. ATR/BSR X% Trunk surface rotation was measured (as above) at predetermined intervals between PSIS and C7: 25%, 50%, and 75%.…”

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 performed on a torso phantom. Results Topographic measurements computed on a phantom were highly accurate (mean RMS error 1.7%) compared with CT. For human subjects, intra- and inter-rater reliability were both high (average ICC > 0.90) with intrinsic (pose-independent) measurements having near-perfect reliability (average ICC > 0.98). Conclusion The proposed system is a suitable tool for topographic analysis of AIS; topographic measurements offer an objective description of torso shape that may complement other imaging modalities. Further research is needed to compare topographic findings with gold standard imaging of spinal alignment, e.g., standing radiography. Conclusion: clinical parameters can be reliably measured in a fully automated system, paving the way for objective analysis of symmetry, body shape pre/post-surgery, and tracking of pathology without ionizing radiation.

“…The reliability study also helped define, for each trunk level, a minimum interval beyond which a difference between two trunk acquisitions is significant. Furthermore, a cluster analysis conducted on a cohort of 236 individuals, including healthy adolescents and AIS patients, proved that the new index used to describe the trunk shape is also capable of distinguishing between healthy subjects and patients with scoliosis, and between different types of scoliotic trunk deformities according to the spinal curve type and its severity [16].…”

“…To quantify scoliosis deformities from trunk surface reconstruction, the community has developed metrics in the three anatomical planes: transverse, sagittal and coronal. Lately, Seoud et al [ 9 , 10 ] proposed a novel index to quantify trunk deformities. This new index allows a smooth and local description of the deformation at all trunk levels and not only at the deformity apex.…”

Minimally invasive surgeries (MISs) are gaining popularity as alternatives to conventional open surgeries. In thoracoscopic scoliosis MIS, fluoroscopy is used to guide pedicle screw placement and to visualise the effect of the intervention on the spine curvature. However, cosmetic external appearance is the most important concern for patients, while correction of the spine and achieving coronal and sagittal trunk balance are the top priorities for surgeons. The authors present the feasibility study of the first intra-operative assistive system for scoliosis surgery composed of a single RGBD camera affixed on a C-arm which allows visualising in real time the surgery effects on the patient trunk surface in the transverse plane. They perform three feasibility experiments from simulated data based on scoliotic patients to live acquisition from non-scoliotic mannequin and person, all showing that the proposed system accuracy is comparable with scoliotic surface reconstruction state of art.
