Abstract:
A whole technical way of reconstructing 3D model of the scoliotic spine from two X-ray images was proposed. From the experimental results of 30 patients with mild to severe scoliosis, we can conclude that the accuracy of locating vertebrae is 0.5 mm, the orientation accuracy was 1.5. After comparing the results with those using the previous methods, we found that the method proposed in this paper can get higher resolution with less computational time, making it suitable for clinical routine use.
