青少年特发性脊柱侧凸影像学评估研究进展

Application of Medical Imaging Technologies in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis(review)

青少年特发性脊柱侧凸(AIS)是一种复杂的脊柱三维畸形。影像学检查能测量AIS侧凸与旋转角度,预测病情进展,协助康复和手术治疗,包括X线平片、三维立体放射技术、计算机断层技术、磁共振成像技术和三维超声成像技术。本文综述其在AIS评估中的应用参数、信度与效度、优势与劣势。三维影像学成像评估技术将是今后的研究趋势。

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)is a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity,characterized by lateral curvature and vertebral rotation.The medical imaging techniques are essential for determination of severity of scoliotic spine,prediction of progression and assistance in the decision-making process of treatment for scoliosis,including radiograph,stereoradiography,computed tomography,magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound.This paper reviewed their application from the view of measure parameters,reliability and validity,as well as merits and demerits.It is possible to assess the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis in the future.
