Abstract

We studied 40 normal subjects and 136 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Both the Quantec Spinal Image System (QSIS) and a AP x-ray view had evaluated all of them. Discriminate analysis showed functional scores can be used as classification of scoliotic groups with different Cobb angles. It supports that classification of scoliosis is able to be based upon the QSIS metrics rather than X-ray exclusively. Functional analysis is best to distinguish patients with less than 8° of Cobb angle from those with more than 20°.
