  • summary: SCOLIOSIS SCREENING

    Hi netters
    Some weeks ago I posted a message to get information about scoliosis
    screening systems avoiding X-rays. They make use of the 3-D shape of the back.
    Thank's a lot to those who replied.

    1)from John Stevens: adress of a specialist in Baton Rouge:
    Dr A. Copes (email: acopes.com)

    2) contact person: S. Otahal (email: otahal@ftvs.cuni.cz)

    3) BTS system: AUSCAN. Contact: 100335.1403@compuserve.com

    4) from Cristoph Roy: contact ATEN DEVELOPMENT co
    adress: Impasse du chateau rouge
    69530 Brignais, France.

    5) from Jim Patton: contact Cheng Cao (email chengcao@engin.umich
    edu)

    6) from Ian Stokes: He published a paper
    Stokes IAF, Shuma-Hartswick D, Moreland MS:
    Measurement of Spinal and Back Shape Changes in
    Patients with Scoliosis.
    Acta Orthop Scand 59:128-133, 1988.

    and came to the conclusion that 'optical methods are not so good'.
    It could be a 'dying field'.
